About the Journal
DISCERN, the International Journal of Design for Social Change, Sustainable Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, is an independent, cross-disciplinary, and open-access publication that promotes academic research and exchange in the expansive area of design for social change and innovation. This field encompasses sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and the circular economy. The editorial board comprises a diverse team of academics and researchers who guide the journal. Various submissions are welcome, including original research articles (conceptual, theoretical, and empirical), review articles, research case studies, shorter reports, work in progress, book reviews, and discussions on articles and dialogues. We encourage submissions that relate to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Current Issue
Five years have passed since the first issue of Discern was published in November 2020, and we are excited to celebrate our tenth issue for Spring 2025. In honour of this milestone, the editorial team decided to republish the five most popular articles from the past five years. Since that inaugural edition, we have published around sixty articles, featuring contributions from one hundred diverse authors and benefiting from the insights of over thirty dedicated reviewers worldwide. We thank all the authors and reviewers who support this journal.
