Knowledge Creation
Preeminent Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding
The IJSW is the preeminent academic journal of AACSRE. We publish only peer-reviewed, unbiased research stemming from some of the most renowned universities in the country, bridging the gap between a variety of academic disciplines and the signage industry. Across 13 journals, we have published over 78 articles from 113 different authors. The topics have ranged from digital signage, bilingual signs,
on-premise signage and more.
Talent Cultivation
Emerging Fellows Program
Our Emerging Fellows program recognizes and supports those who are creating innovative thinking in signage. Our mission is to support researchers from diverse disciplines in conducting research related to the societal benefits of on-premise signs. We have supported over 22 fellows with over $135,000 in grants and will continue to grow thought leadership for years to come.
Liaison Between Academics and Practice
Online Video Program
We are the hub of thought leadership and collaboration between academia and the sign industry. We work across disciplines to bridge the knowledge production, and dissemination across industry and academia. Most recently, we have rolled out our new Online Video Program allowing experts and thought leaders to share their thoughts, perspectives, and philosophies about signage across both academia and industry. We have over 18 videos to date and counting!
