Journal of Design Research (JDR)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Mapping food tracking practices for a broader user base: learning from non-trackers across age groups   Order a copy of this article
    by Isil Oygur Ilhan, Saadet Tikac 
    Abstract: Food tracking is among the most pervasive self-tracking practices. Food monitoring applications even attract individuals with no prior experience in self-tracking. While this enlarges the potential user base for these technologies and can promote preventive care, existing solutions mainly focus on behaviour change with a one-size-fits-all approach. We conducted a qualitative study using an existing application as a probe. 31 non-trackers from three age groups experienced food intake monitoring for 14 days and were interviewed three times (pre-, during, and post) during the process. Thematic analysis of our data shows common food intake monitoring practices across age groups. These practices differentiate based on users’ willingness to learn about food, develop self-awareness, and change behaviour. The non-trackers’ broader learning experience expands our limited conceptualization of “self” and defines benefits beyond behaviour change and self-awareness. We discuss customization opportunities for future food trackers to cater to broader use practices.
    Keywords: self-tracking; food journaling; design for health and wellbeing; preventive care.
