Re: Who is in favour of empirical research approach?

Dear José,

Please look at all the colection of Information Design Journal, you  
will find lots of articles about empirical research, or do I not  
understand your point?
Also the book "Information design" easterby and Zwaga is full of that,  
and there is more, of course. Attention: empirical research is not  
only quantitative research, nor statistical analysis.

Cheers

Jorge.
