While many disciplines may want to use serious games in their research, researchers may be at a loss on how to get started and the best way to create a serious game. Below are several articles across disciplines that focus on how different serious games can be planned and designed.

While there is a great of research that focuses on the best methodology to create serious games, this is just a sampling of the various research available.
