Although it's still a few months from publication, the next issue of Innovation, IDSA's journal, will feature the theme "Research & Strategies for Informing Breakthrough Design". This issue will focus on content that is germane to the Human Factors section, including research methodologies and design tools.
I will post more information as it becomes available.
The issue is scheduled for printing on June 16th. To see the entire 2006 Innovation editoral calendar:
