According to the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), we believe that the high quality of the research and of its description (i.e. the high quality of the papers’ content) is more relevant than indexing. However, since the carrier of young scholars might depend on journal indexing, here below you can find information on IxD&A indexing and metrics.
IxD&A journal indexing
• Scopus – since Winter 2008 (Issue N. 3-4)
• Emerging Sources Citation Index – Web of Science – since the beginning of 2015 (Issue N. 24)
• DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journal) and ROAD (Registry of Open Access Scholarly Resources)
• GoogleScholar and DBLP -> link
• Norwegian register of scientific journals, series, and publishers -> link
• Danish Bibliometriske Forskningsindikator (BFI)
IxD&A is also listed in the:
• dblp (computer science bibliography) -> link
• EdTech Journals (a listing of journals in the area of educational technology, instructional design, and distance learning) -> link
Domains of reference of IxD&A Journal
Design (as a subdomain of Architecture) — Media Technology, Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science Application — Social Science — Education.
Metrics
