For long, we have noticed the interest on a publishing vehicle of the international community of academics and practitioners on innovation, to support intellectual production in this field.

The International Journal of Innovation (IJI Journal) comes out as a result of efforts of researchers linked to distinct nuclei and research/studying groups in Universities around the world. It is an academic publication vehicle on innovation at large. IJI Journal comes out to support scientific research and state-of-the-art knowledge, strategies, models and instruments to innovation.

The journal adopts a rather multifaceted approach to the many challenges facing innovation than a narrow or single target on related areas. The journal is international in character and welcomes contributions to the knowledge on innovation with international scope. It is an open, peer-blinded reviewed research-based journal, abiding by the best editorial practices and norms.

The IJI Journal is already indexing in: Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal (Redalyc); Web of Science Core Collection (Emerging Sources Citation Index), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Ebsco Host, Portal de Portales Latindex, PKP Index, OpeinAire, Gale Cengale Learning, Proquest, Erih Plus, Dialnet and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico (Please, look at index sources).

For authors, we also recommend to look at the Editorial Policies of this Journal. To submit your paper (English, Portuguese and Spanish language), please visit the online submission page. All articles are subject to a double-blind review process. IJI Journal require a Contributer ID (see ORCID and Redalyc ID) for all authors. ORCID is a persistent unique identifier for researchers and functions similarly to an article’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). ORCIDs enable accurate attribution and improved discoverability of an author’s published work. The author will need a registered ORCID in order to submit a manuscript or review a proof in this journal.
