She Ji is a peer-reviewed, trans-disciplinary design journal published by Elsevier in collaboration with Tongji University and Tongji University Press. The first issue appeared in September 2015. We continue to grow and develop as we enter our third year of publication.
She Ji focuses on economics and innovation, design process and design thinking. Our mission is to enable design innovation in industry, business, non-profit services, and government through economic and social value creation.
Innovation requires integrating ideas, economics, and technology to create new knowledge at the intersection of different fields. She Ji provides a unique forum for this interdisciplinary inquiry.
She Ji addresses how societies, organizations, and individuals create, build, distribute, use, and enjoy goods and services, with an added focus on strategy and management. The journal also explores the way that organizations increasingly use design thinking to achieve organisational goals, and the journal examines how design thinking can inform wider social, managerial, and intellectual discourses. She Ji also publishes articles in research methods and methodology, philosophy, and philosophy of science to support the core journal area.
What We Publish
She Ji invites papers on topics within our remit. Articles of interest might cover such issues as:
– Design-driven innovation for social and economic change
– Design practices in management, consulting, and public service
– Alternative economies and industrial transformation
– Smart design for sustainable living
– Design theory
– Methods and methodologies for design research
– Design for social innovation, organizational change, and education
– Design, computation, and algorithms
– Cultural aspects of design and innovation
– Philosophy of design
– Philosophy of science in design research
In particular, She Ji encourages three new dimensions in the literature of design and innovation: (1) serious economic inquiry and management inquiry; (2) rigorous research in design using the methods of the natural sciences, social sciences, and economics; (3) methodological contributions that deploy innovative research methods and processes.
Seven Types of Article
She Ji publishes seven types of article:
1) Original research articles. She Ji welcomes conceptual, theoretical, and empirical articles. All research articles are subject to double-blind peer review. Following peer review, She Ji works with authors on a final round of copy editing to ensure highly readable articles that will reach and influence a wide audience of scholars, researchers, and professional designers, teachers and students, as well as leaders in business, industry, and government.
2) Review articles. She Ji encourages literature review and research review articles. Review articles use double-blind peer review followed by copy editing.
3) Case studies. She Ji publishes two kinds of case study articles. The journal welcomes original research articles involving rigorous case studies and reflection. Research case studies use double-blind peer review. The journal also welcomes short case reports in the short communications category. Short case reports are not subject to peer review.
4) Short communications. She Ji welcomes short reports or research announcements that describe work in progress with preliminary research results. Short communications are not subject to peer review.
5) Book reviews. Books reviews focus on analysis and discussion of individual books as well as extended book reviews covering several books. She Ji also publishes short book notes. Book reviews are not subject to peer review.
6) Discussion articles. Discussion articles include interviews, opinion leader commentary, and dialogues. Discussion articles are not subject to peer review.
