The LJMU author Dr Matt McLain is also one of the associate editors of our LJMU hosted open journal dedicated to design and technology: Design and Technology Education: An International Journal. This open journal allows authors to publish at no cost and is open access for everyone to read.

Design and technology’s practical and creative skills should see it revived in the school curriculum says Dr Matt McLain from the LJMU School of Education. theconversation.com/design-and-t...

Have you ever thought about commercialisation? It brings research to life by turning ideas into practical products and services. For social scientists, it’s a powerful way to extend the reach and impact of their work, generating value well beyond academia.
