InfoDesign

Aims & Scope

InfoDesign is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published three times a year. Its mission is to disseminate theoretical, methodological, and applied research in the field of information design. Submissions should present original research, theoretical reflections, or practice-based studies that contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding of information design and its applications. The journal provides a platform for scholarly discussion on how information is organized, structured, and communicated through verbal, visual, and multimodal forms. It seeks to advance knowledge on the design, production, interpretation, and use of information across diverse contexts. InfoDesign welcomes contributions that address topics including, but not limited to: theory and history of information design, including conceptual frameworks, methods, and historiographical and critical perspectives on the field; the design, development, and evaluation of information and communication systems, such as documents, interfaces, visualizations, diagrams, maps, signage, and digital environments. Contributions in this area should be grounded in theoretical frameworks and critical inquiry, and should articulate insights, principles, or findings that inform broader understanding or applications beyond the specific case studied; technology and society, including the technological, cultural, and social impacts of information design; education, including research on teaching and learning processes related to information design, as well as the use of information design in educational contexts; information-related literacies, including visual literacy, information literacy, graphical literacy, and data literacy, particularly in relation to how people interpret, understand, and use designed information. The journal encourages interdisciplinary dialogue and welcomes contributions from researchers in fields such as design, communication, computer science, information science, human-computer interaction, education, and related areas.
