I always dream of referencing authoritative, empirical data when discussing design – a field shrouded in feelings and subjectivity. The trouble is finding academic papers penned by authors with complicated, German names, forcing one to lean on the authority of a blog post regarding the Top 50 Cutest Typography Techniques to justify a point.

The Journal of Information Architecture seems like a step in that direction. Just reading the titles and abstracts left me feeling much smarter.
