Aims & Scope
Updated Aims and Scope for 2010
Prometheus is an international, multidisciplinary journal publishing papers on innovation, by which we mean the production, introduction and diffusion of change. Prometheus publishes critical papers, those that express – and justify – opinions on innovation issues. We are particularly attracted to papers that challenge prevailing views. We encourage debate.
Prometheus is an international, multidisciplinary journal publishing papers on innovation, by which we mean the production, introduction and diffusion of change. Prometheus publishes critical papers, those that express – and justify – opinions on innovation issues. We are particularly attracted to papers that challenge prevailing views. We encourage debate.
From a core interest in technological change and the information required to bring it about, the journal's scope has expanded to cover:
- the history of innovation
- information for innovation
- invention and creativity
- research and development
- diffusion of innovation
- science and technology policy
- organisational strategy for innovation
- intellectual property rights
- communication and information technology
- networks and spatial dimensions of innovation
- open innovation
- the social, economic and political environment of innovation
- the management of innovation
- the evaluation of innovation
Papers should not be so technical or specialised that they cannot be appreciated by a wide readership that includes academics, practitioners and policy makers and excludes no one.
