Research in
Engineering Design What is RED all about? |
|
Motto: A journal is a product; one
that requires careful design, design with input from all its stakeholders.
Consider yourself invited to take part in the continuous design
and improvement of this journal by providing me input, for example, by
commenting on this page.

RED: a leading journal in engineering design
As a leading journal in engineering design, RED mission is to publish the highest quality papers that define what engineering design is.
This mission is translated into several activities:
- Continuously improve the quality of papers published in RED
- Continuously improving the status of RED among other design journal and compared to other engineering journal. This will position design research at a higher level compared to its present status.
- Bring design into broader audience. This will help shape our position of what design is and support strengthening the status of the journal.
The journal scope is defined as:
Research in Engineering Design is an international
journal that publishes research papers on design theory and methodology in all
fields of engineering, focussing on mechanical,
civil, architectural, and manufacturing engineering. The journal is designed
for professionals in academia, industry and government interested in research
issues relevant to design practice. Papers emphasize underlying principles of
engineering design and discipline-oriented research where results are of
interest or extendible to other engineering domains. General areas of interest
include theories of design, foundations of design environments, representations
and languages, models of design processes, and integration of design and
manufacturing. The journal also publishes state-of-the-art review articles.
As a journal, RED retains the characteristics of a classical academic journal whose mission is to accept papers, review and publish those that pass the review process in a timely manner. However, in order to foster dialogue between members of the engineering design research community, RED also publishes, letters to the editor and commentaries by leading experts (invited only). Other means of publication will be sought to support the mission of the journal including communication means outside the published pages of the journal.
