“…Five works focus on the evaluation of a specific product: a software product in (Takahashi et al, 2018) and (Belkadi et al, 2019); or physical objects in the case of (Roesler et al, 2019), (Hyysalo et al, 2019b) and (McKinnon & Sade, 2019). In the last two cases, the product is involved in a research-through-design process.…”

“…Concerning the works related to methodologies, we find papers that propose a method based on analytical methods or algorithmic solutions such as those related to axiomatic design (B. Chen et al, 2019; R. ; those related to such methods as research-through-design, where the importance of the method followed is prominent in the study (Hanrahan et al, 2019;Hyysalo et al, 2019b;McKinnon & Sade, 2019;Tsai & Hoven, 2018); or methodologies for product development such as (Daalhuizen et al, 2019), with emphasis on different aspects such as work in groups (Gyory et al, 2019) or sustainability (Santolaya et al, 2019).…”

“…Workshops are frequently used for evaluating results and sharing experiences by a group of experts with discussions (McKinnon & Sade, 2019;Self, 2019;Van der Linden et al, 2019aWlazlak et al, 2019). In (Genç et al, 2018;Martinec et al, 2019), the workshops become designing activities in the research-through-design methodology.…”

“…The experts that participate in questionnaires or interviews are designers architects, engineers (Q. Li & Luximon, 2018;Pakkanen et al, 2019;Park-Lee & Person, 2018), or academic staff evaluating results (McKinnon & Sade, 2019;Morkos et al, 2019;Sung et al, 2019). In interviews occurring in ethnographic studies, the subjects providing information could be considered the topic of analysis (Wood & Mattson, 2019), but at the same time, they could be experts (Comi et al, 2019).…”

“…In the review, we have observed that research-through-design appears in several works (Barati et al, 2019;Genç et al, 2018;Hyysalo et al, 2019a;McKinnon & Sade, 2019;Tsai & Hoven, 2018), but it is far from being the most popular approach. In fact, it shares space in the reviewed journals with antagonistic approaches, such as the analytic methods.…”

The relation between scientific research and industrial design is fraught with controversy. While the number of academic PhD programs on product design grows because the discipline is in its infancy, there is no consolidated method for systematically approaching the generation of knowledge in this domain. This paper aims to review recently published papers from the four top-ranked journals in engineering design in order to analyse the research methods that are frequently used. The research questions consider the aim and contributions of the papers, as well as which experimental design and which sources of data are being used. Frequency tables show the high variety of approaches and aims of the papers, combining both qualitative and quantitative empirical approaches and analytical methods. Most of the papers focus on methodological concerns or on delving into a particular aspect of the design process. Data collection methods are also diverse without a clear relation between the type of method and the objective or strategy of the research. This paper aims to act as a valuable resource for academics, providing definitions related to research methods and referencing examples, and for researchers, shedding light on some of the weaknesses and challenges for current research in the domain of engineering design.
