Objectives & Scope



OBJECTIVES

The Asia-Pacific Journal of IP Management and Innovation is especially interested in articles that contribute new knowledge on the strategic management of IP, innovation, creativity, and knowledge and technology transfer. These articles may be presented in a variety of modes ranging from theoretical frameworks, experimental analyses, and case studies.

The journal further provides feature and news articles that are useful for the career development of professionals working in the field of IP and innovation. The journal will also include technology showcases from industry and academia, and the latest news and trends on IP management and Innovation in the Asia-Pacific.


SCOPE

The journal publishes original articles of the following classifications:


  • Research paper: Reports on any type of research conducted by the author/s, including: construction or testing of a theory, model, or framework; action research; empirical research; applied research; market research; and surveys and focus group discussions.

  • Review: Overview of a concept, method, or phenomenon. More than mere summary, a review must critically evaluate prior research, propose a theoretical framework explaining key findings from prior research, and present suggested avenues for further research.

  • Case studies: Description of interventions or experiences, and key insights obtained from them

  • Policy brief: Reviews or analyses of government, industrial, or academic policies

  • Viewpoint: Opinion of author/s on a particular issue or topic, or descriptive or instructional articles about current trends and best practices


    • In addition to the above types of articles, the journal also welcomes critiques, short notes, or comments on previously published articles. Rejoinders from the authors of these articles are, thus, also welcome. Feature and news articles that are useful for the career development of professionals working in the field of IP management and innovation, technology showcases from industry and academia, and the latest news and trends on IP management and innovation in the Asia-Pacific may also be considered for publication. The Editors-in-Chief shall have the discretion to publish certain classes of submissions for each particular edition of the journal.
