Aims & Scope
Innovation & Impact is an interdisciplinary Scientific Technology and Business journal presenting high profile invited papers, case studies and perspective papers concerning the process of innovation and its impact on society and market.
We are truly excited about the moment, when research exerts an impact on our lives. This process happens on frontiers of academic research and business with involvement of many parties: technology transfer offices, universities, companies, venture capital, business angels, science parks, incubators etc.
The aim of the journal is to deliver the platform for communication between all of them and across ecosystems. Journal presents a mixture of quality research papers and exciting stories of companies and tech transfer.
Journal accepts the following types of submissions:
- Opening papers presenting systematic studies regarding issues related to the process of innovation. Each issue contains one opening paper devoted to ecosystem or sector described in the issue and written by invited author.
- Case studies presenting inspiring examples of innovation. In particular, the journal focuses on presenting route of scientific idea to the market. It also contains articles describing framework or institution that is supporting the process of technology transfer.
- Perspective papers presenting systematic studies regarding issues related to the process of innovation. Perspective papers are devoted to particular elements associated with the journal topics.
Our story made short
Initially Innovation & Impact was intended to be a classic scientific journal with the ambition of drawing the attention of all stakeholders involved in the process of innovation. We soon realized that this aim cannot be fulfilled in this way. A new approach was required to address different writing and reading habits of scientists, entrepreneurs and investors. After a number brainstorms, discussions and pivots the journal formula ended in the place which in our belief is a perfect ratio between scientific merit, practicality and impact.
Each issue combines an opening and perspective papers (which deliver professional and scientific discussion) with a number of case studies (which deliver inspiring and practical examples).
