Learn X Design 2023 The 7th International Conference for Design Education Researchers, London, İngiltere, 29 Kasım - 01 Aralık 2023, ss.1-12
This paper describes the publication journey of a manuscript on design education research that extended
over ten years, sent to nine different publication channels (8 journals, 1 conference). The process ended
with two publications in academic journals defining two periods for the author, one ending with the first
publication, followed by a three-year interval, and the other ending with the second and main publication.
The paper reviews 12 versions of the manuscript, 12 responses from the journals, and four revision notes by
the author in identifying the developmental highlights of the manuscript. The paper then presents an
account of this process in chronological order, referring to the improvements made to the manuscript in
terms of form and content. Insights from this publication experience are offered as issues addressed in
developing the theoretical framework, describing the methodology, and situating the research findings.
