List of journals
Introduction
On this page, we have collected links to scientific journals that are potentially relevant to IMPDET doctoral studies.
The journals listed on the page have been divided into seven main categories:
- design/design research
- educational technology
- online, open and distance learning
- computing & technology education
- ICT for development
- misc/general computing
For each of the categories, the journals are grouped according to the Finnish Publication forum classification (JUFO). The JUFO classification has three levels: 1 = basic; 2 = leading; 3 = top. For those journals that have been included in Clarivate’s Journal Citation Report, the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is mentioned. The image
indicates that articles published in the journal are openly available.
Latest updates and changes
