Instructions to Authors
1. The scope of the journal
Journal of Engineering Design is published four times a year in print and electronic editions.
Journal of Engineering Design provides an essential forum for dialogue between practitioners and academics in the field of engineering design.

1.1. Abstracting Information
Journal of Engineering Design is currently abstracted and indexed in Aluminium Abstracts, Engineering Index, Engineered Materials Abstracts, Metals Abstracts, Newsletter of the International Network of Engineering Design Researchers, Research Alert and SciSearch.
2. The structure and organization of the Journal
The Journal is organized into the following: research papers, review articles, and technical notes, describing research with a theoretical grounding. Papers will typically be between 5000 and 8000 words, debating and exploring theoretical and methodological issues, methodological approaches, and substantive topics. However, there is not necessarily an upper limit on length, and authors of longer papers are encouraged to contact the Editor with a synopsis. Technical notes are designed as a medium for the publication of short communications that, however, do not require the fast-track publication route offered for Letters. Typically such notes are between 1000 and 2000 words. Review articles or essays are generally commissioned by invitation of the Editors.
All research papers, review articles, and technical notes will be subject to peer review.

3. Submitting a manuscript to Journal of Engineering Design
3.1. General guidelines
Please read this Guide with care and attention: must you fail to follow it, your research paper, Letter, or technical note, may be delayed. Note especially the referencing conventions used by Journal of Engineering Design and the requirement for gender-, race-, and creed-inclusive language, and for the adherence to the Système Internationale.
Journal of Engineering Design considers all manuscripts on condition they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to Journal of Engineering Design and Taylor & Francis Ltd if the manuscript is accepted.
Journal of Engineering Design considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Journal of Engineering Design, that they have not been published already, nor are they under consideration for publication, nor in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which Journal of Engineering Design incurs, and their manuscripts will not be published.
Opinions advanced in the papers published in Journal of Engineering Design are to be understood as individual expressions of their authors and not those of the editorial board or Taylor & Francis.
- Please write clearly and concisely, stating your objectives clearly and defining your terms. Your arguments must be substantiated with well-reasoned supporting evidence.
- For all manuscripts, non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms must not be used.
- In writing your manuscript, you are encouraged to review articles in the area you are addressing which have been previously published in the journal, and where you feel appropriate, to reference them. This will enhance context, coherence, and continuity for our readers.
- Abstracts of not more than 200 words are required for all manuscripts submitted, and must precede the body text.
- Manuscripts must be typed on one single side of A4 or 8 x 11 inch white good quality paper, double-spaced throughout, including the reference section.
- Four copies of any manuscript must be submitted.
- Authors must include telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses on the cover page of manuscripts.
- Accepted manuscripts in their final, revised versions, must also be submitted as electronic word processing files on disk or via file transfer protocol; see 'A Guide to Electronic Processing'.
- Journal of Engineering Design has no allocation of free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors who propose publishing figures in colour must consult Taylor & Francis to agree a financial contribution to additional colour reproduction costs. Figures which appear in black-and-white in the print edition of Journal of Engineering Design will appear in colour in the online edition, assuming colour originals are supplied.
-
We look forward to receiving your submissions, which must be sent to the Editorial Office, at the address above.
3.3. Keywords and glossary
design; product design; product development; industrial design; marketing; reliability; maintainability; ergonomics; design process; design management; safety; quality; standards; cad/cam, cae, design information, and best practice.
3.4 Abstracts
Structured abstracts are required for all manuscripts, and must be submitted as detailed below, following the title and author's name and address, preceding the main text.
For manuscripts reporting original research, state the primary objective and any hypothesis tested; describe the research design and your reasons for adopting that methodology; state the methods and procedures employed, including where appropriate tools, hardware, software, the selection and number of study areas/subjects, and the central experimental interventions; state the main outcomes and results, including relevant data; and state the conclusions that might be drawn from these data and results, including their implications for further research or application/practice.
Abstracts must not exceed 200 words.
3.5. Copyright permission
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than fifty word) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted - or owned - by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor.
This applies both to direct reproduction or 'derivative reproduction' - when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
It is essential that you adhere to convention regarding product names. Product manufacturers often require that product names are trademarked, even if the product name has become a commonplace term. For example, let us assume the Taylor & Francis product 'pre view' has been trademarked by Taylor & Francis. We must require you as author to print the name as pre view ? and state the following as a footnote:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
3.6. Mathematics
Special care must be taken with mathematics in manuscripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero.
In the unlikely event your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols must be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a 'Nomenclature' following the abstract.
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / must be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I /(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations must be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is never used for units: ms-1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text must be numbered serially on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text, but are discouraged.
