We have received several requests for a compilation of information on the journals we used in the study. We are now working on this. The compilation will be a directory of design journals giving editorial and publishing journal information on each journal with a web site for every journal. The PDF will have active links so that you can go directly from our compilation to the journal web site. The information we provide will hopefully make journal selection easier while providing useful information on appropriate venues for specific kinds of articles. We hope to release the directory in April.

Until we release the directory, you can reach all the journals in our article via journal web sites or your own library. The directory will make all the information easily accessible in one place.

We appreciate the wide interest this article has been receiving. We welcome queries and comments. Please send questions or comments to the corresponding author, Dr. Gerda Gemser of Delft University of Technology.
