Hi Cathy, U.S. architecture program accreditation procedures are only for professional practice degrees, so publishing is not a factor. The U.K. architecture librarian's group (ARCLIB) maintains a list of referred architecture journals (& several other related categories) at http://cwis.livjm.ac.uk/lea/misc/ARCref.htm. You can also do a subject search in Ulrich's Periodical Directory Online and limit your search to 'refereed' titles. You could argue that getting a design project published in a refereed journal should qualify in the same way as getting an article published.
