The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An exploration of how creativity, functionality, and aesthetics are related in design (2021, methodology): “For instance, Christensen and Ball (2016) have included both functionality and aesthetics as the core assessment dimensions.”
A review of function modeling: Approaches and applications (2008, methodology): “…(KIEF) of Umeda, Tomiyama, and colleagues (Tomiyama et al., 1993; Yoshioka et al., 2004); KRITIK and IDeAL of Goel and Bhatta (2004); IDEA-INSPIRE of Chakrabarti et al. (2005); and function embodiment structure-extended recursively (FEST-ER) and Schemebuilder of Bracewell and Sharpe (1996).”
On the benefits and pitfalls of analogies for innovative design : Ideation performance based on analogical distance, commonness, and modality of examples (2011, methodology): “As noted in the introduction, a range of previous design-by-analogy methods have been developed; of particular interest is the development of computational tools that automate the search for analogies [48].”
