Intellect is honoured to be publishing its first-ever open access journal, Artifact: Journal of Design Practice. The journal is funded by The Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design and Conservation and Design School Kolding. It does not charge APCs or submission fees.
Since its first publication in 2007, Artifact has focused on practice-based, constructive, and artistic design research of the highest international level aimed at strengthening knowledge production and sharing in the international design research community. Artifact promotes discourse and ideas in support of the creation of new knowledge related to contextual, foundational, conceptual, empirical as well as methodological issues and advancements that contribute to the proliferation of rigorous practices of artistic, practice-based, and constructive design research – see below for aims and scope of the journal.
The journal only welcomes submissions that answer to posted calls for papers. All original research papers are subject to double-blind peer-review, but the journal also welcomes research commentaries and essays (not subject to double-blind peer-review) – please inquire with the editorial team to learn more about these (non-peer reviewed formats).

Artifact: Journal of Design Practice responds to the growing self-confidence within the design research environment and provides a platform for nurturing and extending the fertile grounds of its contemporary practices. The aim of the journal is to call for and publish research in the domain of practice-based, constructive and artistic design research at the highest international level. With every call for papers the journal encourages submissions of research that strives to reach beyond disciplinary and topical boundaries to support exchange and cross-fertilization of insights and methodologies.
Artifact: Journal of Design Practice is a fully Open Access journal that does not charge APCs or submission fees. Submitted manuscripts are first discussed by the editorial team and, if found fit for further deliberation, manuscripts are then sent for double-blind peer review by anonymous experts from the research community. Articles are published under a Creative Commons licence (either CC BY or CC BY NC) which allows users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full texts of these articles – download OA licence agreement below for more information on Creative Commons licence options.
