Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
To achieve scientific findings, design research relies on data – data which has to be collected in empirical studies. Design researchers have to choose between a multitude of data collection and analysis methods and a variety of possible study designs. But how to choose the most suitable methods and study designs? To learn from best practice, we analysed empirical studies in journal and conference publications. This provided insights with regards to successful use of data collection and analysis methods and study designs. Moreover, we observed “gaps” of data collection in design research.
