Welcome to the International Journal of Design, Technology, Innovation, and Practice (IJODTIP), a biannual publication dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersection of design, technology, innovation, and practical application.
Aim
The International Journal of Design, Technology, Innovation, and Practice (IJODTIP) aims to be a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality research that explores the dynamic interplay between design, technology, innovation, and practical application. The journal seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world implementation, fostering a community of scholars, practitioners, and industry professionals committed to advancing knowledge and driving positive change.
Scope
IJODTIP welcomes original research contributions that investigate a broad range of topics related to design, technology, innovation, and practice. The journal’s scope encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas:
Design:
Design thinking, processes, and methodologies
User-centered design, experience design, and interaction design
Product design, service design, and systems design
Design for sustainability, social impact, and inclusivity
Emerging trends and challenges in design practice
Technology:
Technological innovations and their applications in various domains
The impact of technology on design, society, and the economy
Human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and machine learning
Emerging technologies and their potential for design and innovation
Innovation:
Innovation processes, strategies, and management
Open innovation, collaborative innovation, and social innovation
Design-driven innovation, technology-enabled innovation, and business model innovation
The role of innovation in addressing global challenges and achieving sustainable development
Practice:
Case studies, empirical research, and practical applications of design, technology, and innovation
The integration of design, technology, and innovation in organizations and industries
The role of education and training in fostering design, technology, and innovation capabilities
The ethical, social, and cultural implications of design, technology, and innovation
Types of Submissions
Original research articles
Review articles and literature surveys
Case studies and practice-based reports
Short communications and technical notes
Editorials and commentaries
Target Audience
Academics and researchers in the fields of design, technology, innovation, and related disciplines
Practitioners and professionals working in design, engineering, technology, and innovation-related industries
Policymakers and decision-makers interested in the impact of design, technology, and innovation on society and the economy
Students and educators seeking to stay informed about the latest developments in these fields
IJODTIP will consider the following types of submissions:
Research articles: These should report on original empirical research using a variety of methodologies.
Theoretical articles: These should develop new theoretical frameworks or provide critical analysis of existing theories related to contemporary education.
Review articles: These should provide a comprehensive overview of current research on a specific topic in contemporary education.
Book reviews: These should critically evaluate recent books relevant to the journal’s scope.
Case studies: These should present and analyze a specific educational experience or program.
Graduate Theses/Dissertations: Ways for doctoral and master’s students to leverage their thesis/dissertation work for the journal:
Develop journal articles: Thesis and dissertation chapters can often be adapted into shorter, more focused journal articles that address a specific research question or finding within the larger study.
Pilot studies: If your thesis/dissertation included a pilot study, you could potentially submit that as a separate article to IJODTIP, especially if it explores a new methodology or tackles a novel aspect of the research topic.Literature review: A strong literature review chapter from your thesis/dissertation could be reworked into a standalone review article for IJODTIP, providing valuable background and context for other scholars in the field.
