1. Focus and Scope
|
As a publisher INDERSCIENCE has over 25 years experience of journal publishing and pioneering groundbreaking new journals.
Our philosophy is to map new frontiers in emerging and developing technology areas in research, industry and governance, and to link with centres of excellence worldwide to provide authoritative coverage and references in focused and specialist fields.
Our goal is to foster and promote innovative thinking in the sciences, management, and policy fields. We see the need for synergy and collaboration between these fields rather than segmentation and isolation. Hence, our objectives are to build new links, networks and collaborations between these communities of thinkers in order to stimulate and enhance creative and application-oriented problem solving for society.
For example, our groundbreaking International Journal of Technology Management, which played a major role in coining the term 'Technology Management', is a past winner of the prestigious ANBAR Golden Page Award.
Our continued success lies in bringing together and establishing channels of communication between leading policy-makers and prominent experts in industry, commerce and related businesses as well as renowned academic and research institutions to facilitate solutions to address the key issues of the day.
INDERSCIENCE prides itself in ensuring the high quality and professional standards expected of its journals through pursuing a full double-blind refereeing process for ALL papers.
