Focus and Scope
The Journal of Innovation, Technology and Knowledge Economy (JITKE) is dedicated to advancing the understanding of how innovation, technology, and knowledge contribute to economic growth and societal progress. The journal explores how knowledge is generated through technological advancements and how technological innovation fosters new knowledge creation. Not all technological developments lead to sustainable knowledge; only those innovations that can be generalized across multiple domains contribute to theoretical advancements and practical applications. JITKE welcomes research on innovations that enhance knowledge quality or that can be leveraged for further knowledge creation.
Innovation and technology are broad concepts encompassing processes, structures, outcomes, antecedents, and behaviors at various levels, including organizational (private and public sectors), individual, national, and global scales. JITKE seeks to publish studies that examine technology-driven knowledge transformations and their role in promoting best practices within economies and societies.
The journal serves as a platform for high-quality research that undergoes rigorous double-blind peer review. By doing so, JITKE ensures that pioneering studies reach a global audience of scholars, industry experts, policymakers, and practitioners who recognize innovation, technology, and knowledge as critical drivers of economic growth. These stakeholders rely on cutting-edge findings in these domains to inform strategic decisions and policy frameworks.
JITKE publishes a variety of content, including theoretical articles, empirical research utilizing quantitative or qualitative methodologies, policy-oriented studies, case analyses, book reviews, conference reports, and short articles on emerging trends in innovation, technology, and knowledge economy. The journal also welcomes abstracts of recent doctoral dissertations and opinion-based contributions that provoke scholarly debate.
