As The Design Journal celebrates its 20th year, we
are excited to introduce a new section and submission type. PhD Study Reports
provide an opportunity for PhD candidates in design and related fields to
outline the scope, research questions and methodology they are using or intend
to use and the contributions to knowledge they are hoping to make.
This new section will highlight emerging areas of research
and will enable the Journal’s readers to make contact with students if they
have relevant sources, contacts or approaches that might help them.
Since the purpose of these reports is to describe ongoing
research, authors would not be expected to report on findings from completed
work, although initial findings might be described. This is a wonderful
opportunity for any PhD candidate in the design field to build a global
audience for their research.
Submissions Details
- PhD Study reports should be no more than 2000 words in length, including the following sections: Overview, Key words, Main report, Acknowledgements (e.g. funding sources), References, Biography, and Contact details.
- Submissions will be subject to one round of single-blind peer review, following which a decision of accept/revise/reject will be made.
- We invite you to submit at www.tandfonline.com/RFDJ.
- For informal enquiries, contact the Editorial Assistant Kirsty Christer.
