Graphics Journal and its Selected Metrics of EffectLike the various sports ranking systems, with RPI (rating percentage index) being one of thebetter known, systems and a vocabulary for ranking journals have proliferated. More recentlywith the maturity of computer-assisted analytics and in response to the need for data to prop upclaims of excellence and to promulgate entity prestige, JCR, SJR, SNIP, IF, Eigen, Scopus,Google Scholar, Altmetric, and a plethora of others have found their way into the vocabulary ofresearchers, authors, administrators, and the like. They continue to be bandied about as theirmerits are debated and careers are turned on the various approaches to journal ranking

influence, and thus theability to separate those influences from their own design processes. Here, a social scientific lenson the CAD learning activity can be productively integrated with the more technical approach ofteaching command and strategic CAD knowledge.While all students whose career paths intersect with CAD should gain practical and theoreticalexpertise with relevant CAD platforms, students whose educational experiences and potentialcareers may span different disciplinary domains would benefit by being agile in terms of howthey talk about what they know. In particular, these practitioners need to be able to translate theirpractical expertise and disciplinary understandings into other domains: moving from, say,engineering to design, or
