has anyone published a white paper here?
I am writing a white paper on the subject of branding and onomatopoeia. I wanted to know if people have had success with publishing to magazines on the subject of design/branding/web/software etc.
NOTE: I am aware of the rolling paper, toilet paper jokes that are on their way.

Target a publishing outlet and write around it.
A generic paper does not get you anywhere esp when you are not in position to do peer review.

a white paper without validation (or for a client / work) is rather suspect.
Just blog about it. Moment you say white paper, you need validation.

hmm true. then lose "white paper" and put "article"? article is a lot less alarming and subject to less criticism.
thanks jsk

Will do. It's a pop culture paper anyone can read and relate, not just designers or advertisers.

Look in to what PSFK has done.
Their articles were more or less a commentary.
Over time they have built that in to white paper or research paper.

Good luck. I have written white paper / research paper under the name of clients / work / project. Not meant to be published.
Work with few PhDs and other academias and they take the notion of white papers seriously.
