《設計研究》是一本國際領先的學術期刊，致力于發展對設計過程的理解。它研究跨所有應用領域的設計活動，包括工程和產品設計、建筑和城市設計、計算機藝術品和系統設計。因此，它為從認知和方法論到價值觀和哲學的設計活動的基本方面的分析、發展和討論提供了一個跨學科的論壇。設計研究發表了與設計過程有關的工作，并且與研究人員、教師和從業者的廣泛受眾有關。我們歡迎原創的、科學的和學術的研究報告，這些研究報告涉及設計過程的各個領域，或促進與設計過程相關的新知識的開發和應用。論文的撰寫應易于理解，并與不同設計領域的廣泛讀者群相關。為了與本雜志相關，一篇論文必須提供一些新的見解或設計過程的知識，或幫助設計過程的新發展。請參閱作者指南。

Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
