Journal of Engineering Design is a leading international publication that provides an essential forum for dialogue on important issues across all disciplines and aspects of the design of engineered products and systems. The Journal publishes pioneering, contemporary, best industrial practice as well as authoritative research, studies and review papers on the underlying principles of design, its management, practice, techniques and methodologies.
Fully supported by an international editorial board, the Journal publishes only the highest-quality original research contributions and book reviews from all the major disciplines of engineering design. Whilst fostering academic knowledge capture and understanding, the journal provides an invaluable reference source for worldwide best practice that underpins innovation and developments in engineering design.
The Journal covers, but is not restricted to, the following topics:
· aesthetics, style and form
· big data analytics
· collaborative design
· concept design
· creativity and innovation
· design architectures
· design costing
· design education and pedagogy
· design for X, e.g. manufacturability, assembly, environment, sustainability
· design management
· design optimisation approaches
· design risk and uncertainty
· design theory and methodology
· designing product platforms, modularity and reuse
· emotive design, e.g. Kansei engineering
· ergonomics, styling and the design process
· evolutionary design activity (product improvement & refinement)
· global and distributed design
· inclusive design and assistive technology
· industrial design and total design
· integrated design development
· knowledge and information management
· maintainability, sustainability, safety and standards
· multi, inter and trans disciplinary design
· new product design and development
· product introduction process
· product quality management, improvement and standardisation
· quality, reliability, robustness and uncertainty
· service design and design services
· state-of-the-art reviews
· systems design and design complexity
The journal welcomes suggestions for topic-related Special Issues to showcase high quality, contemporary research, that is dedicated and aligned to specific challenging topics.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
