Future Publication
With a view to offering a further platform for the design-led research promoted through ADR18, we are pleased to announce a commitment to publish selected outputs through Drawing On, an Edinburgh University-based peer-reviewed journal of Research by Design. As part of this newly-established collaboration, selected ADR18 proposals will be considered for publication. We encourage ADR18 contributors to familiarise themselves with the Drawing On guidelines, (available for download in the right menu bar) which allow for a wide range of formats and breadth of media, and supports the ambitions of ADR18 in finding novel modes of presentation for Design Research scholarship. Selected works will be reviewed and published in Drawing On, ahead of the following ADR Conference at Monash University, in September 2019.
