Description
Research and development (R&D) and innovation today absorb very considerable resources. These activities have
great influence on the policies of industrial firms, government departments, universities and nations. Research Policy is a multi-disciplinary
journal devoted to the policy and management problems posed by innovation, R&D, technology and science, and related activities concerned
with the acquisition of knowledge (learning) and its exploitation. Its papers examine the interaction between these activities and economic,
social, political and institutional processes. Many of the papers are empirically focused but others are more theoretical. They are written
by both academic analysts and practitioners of R&D and innovation processes. The journal is international in scope and reaches an
audience of academics, industrialists, government officials and others interested in these issues. Its leading academic status and influence
are reflected in a high 'impact factor' for a social science journal.
Main Subjects Covered:
Competence/Capability (e.g.
core, dynamic), Entrepreneur/Entrepreneurship, Evolutionary/Schumpeterian Economics, Industrial Clusters, Innovation Management/Policy/Strategy,

Research Policy's impact factor has been increasing year on year (2003:

Citation Reports, 2006). Furthermore, Research Policy's Impact factor compares extremely well with leading journals in the fields of
Economics, Law, Political Science, and other interdisciplinary social science journals.
