Advanced Design Research (IJADR) provides an international forum for the science that advances our understanding of design impacts. It covers all possible direct/indirect, positive/negative effects of design and technology on humans; for example, psychological, physiological, behavioural, ethical, social, economic, environmental and ecological.

The journal is devoted to research that promotes impact-relevant design and engineering knowledge, from relevant tools and methods to theoretical viewpoints and philosophical debates, and their integration into future design practice in a rapidly and continuously changing technological landscape.

IJADR brings together leading work undertaken by researchers from all domains of design and engineering , including product, interaction, experience, service, computational, smart systems, social, architectural, human factors, ergonomics and urban design/engineering.
