About Jurnal Desain

Jurnal Desain is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Universitas Indraprasta PGRI, Jakarta, Indonesia. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for original research in design, architecture, visual art, visual communication, and visual culture.

The journal prioritizes original empirical research articles, design studies, and practice-based research that demonstrate a clear scholarly contribution. Conceptual or theoretical work may be considered when grounded in a defined research object, corpus, case, artefact, practice, or relevant visual, material, spatial, digital, or cultural phenomenon.

Architectural research, including technical investigations, is considered when it directly addresses architectural design questions and contributes substantively to design knowledge, design decisions, or spatial quality. Research limited to building engineering or technical performance without a clear architectural-design contribution is outside the journal's scope.

For manuscript eligibility, disciplinary coverage, and submission boundaries, please consult the Focus and Scope.

Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the Preliminary Administrative Completeness Check and Initial Editorial Assessment may proceed to external evaluation through a double-blind peer-review process, normally involving two independent qualified peer reviewers.

Under the regular pathway, the period from initial submission to online publication is typically estimated at 3–5 months. Actual processing times vary with reviewer availability, revision requirements, additional review rounds, author response times, and post-acceptance production; some manuscripts may take longer. This estimate is not a guarantee of acceptance or publication by a specific date.

Peer-reviewer recommendations are advisory. The Section Editor considers the reports, revised manuscript, and authors' responses before providing an editorial recommendation. The Editor-in-Chief retains responsibility for the final editorial decision.

See the Peer Review Process and Peer Reviewer Guidelines for complete information.

Publication Schedule

Jurnal Desain is published quarterly, with scheduled issues in September, December, March, and June. Manuscripts are processed continuously throughout the year.

The journal implements an Issue in Progress publication model. Following formal acceptance and completion of editorial and production procedures, publication-ready articles may be released progressively within the corresponding issue while other manuscripts remain under processing.

The model does not change the journal's quarterly publication frequency or reduce its scholarly and ethical standards. Actual article and issue publication dates are recorded accurately in the journal archive and metadata; publication dates are not backdated. Each issue is formally completed when its publication process concludes.

See the Publication Frequency policy for details.

IDR 0

No charge for manuscript submission or Initial Editorial Assessment.

Current Issue

Vol. 14 No. 1 (2026): Jurnal Desain

Vol. 14 No. 1 was originally scheduled for publication in September 2026. Publication of the issue commenced on October 15, 2026, under Jurnal Desain's Issue in Progress model.

Under this model, articles are published progressively upon completion of the required editorial assessment, peer-review, revision, verification, and production processes. At the time of the initial publication, several manuscripts were still undergoing these processes and had not yet been approved for publication.

Accordingly, Vol. 14 No. 1 remains in progress. Additional articles will be included only after satisfactorily completing all applicable editorial and peer-review procedures. The final composition and completion date of this issue will be determined upon the conclusion of the editorial and publication processes for manuscripts under consideration.

Beginning with Vol. 14 No. 1 (2026), Jurnal Desain adopts an Article Numbering System in place of continuous page numbering. Each published article is assigned a unique article number that serves as its bibliographic identifier within the issue. Article numbers are displayed in the published PDF, while individual articles retain independent internal page numbering and their respective Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).

As part of this transition, the PDF galleys of the three articles initially published in this issue have been updated to incorporate their respective article numbers and revised pagination. These adjustments are limited to bibliographic identification and production formatting and do not affect the scholarly content, authorship, DOIs, or original publication dates of the articles.

The adoption of this system supports progressive publication, facilitates article identification, and aligns with Indonesia's 2026 Journal Accreditation Technical Guidelines, which recognize unique article identifiers as an alternative to continuous pagination.
