Design Review 2005/2006—The ever increasing maturity of design research papers and case studies

This paper reviews the growing maturity of publications in the Journal of Engineering Design over the period 2005 to 2006. This maturity has been explored in terms of its depth of design research content, together with its continued increasing relevance to global industry practices. Not surprisingly, it follows the author’s comparable review of papers published in the Journal of Engineering Design on Product Development over the decade and up to 2004.
