Signage and wayfinding are critical components of the urban landscape. In spite of their importance, there has been no journal or comprehensive scholarly platform dedicated to this topic. As such, scholars from a variety of academic disciplines (law, planning, engineering, business, art, economics, architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, and graphic design) publish work in journals within their home disciplines and rarely have a chance to communicate their cross-disciplinary findings. The Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding seeks to bring them together.

Sponsored by the Academic Advisory Council for Signage Research and Education (AACSRE), this online, open access journal seeks to be the home for scholarship in the field of signage and wayfinding, and to make such scholarship accessible to academics and practitioners alike.

Vol. 7 No. 1 (2023): Vol. 7, No. 1 (2023)

This issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding highlights the importance of respecting diversity in signage. As our world becomes ever more connected, signage can influence groups previously not engaged in a location. Such people may speak a different language, have different values, or simply may be visiting for the first time. Our collective knowledge in signage research allows us to be flexible and adaptable, meeting the needs of diverse audiences in diverse places.
