Content edit

The journal covers a wide range of subjects such as technological change, R&D, management of knowledge, entrepreneurship, science policy, and multiple subfields relating to innovation studies (e.g., innovation economics, innovation management, technology innovation).[9] It is a top-ranked or top-cited journal in the fields of business and economics,[10][11] management,[12][13] technology and innovation management (TIM),[14][15][16] academic entrepreneurship,[17] and technology assessment.[18]

History edit

Based on research conducted by Joseph Schumpeter, Freeman worked to demonstrate the importance of innovation and R&D for economic development. From 1959 to 1966, Freeman worked at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, where he carried out pioneering studies on industrial research.[19] He played an important role in the development of the OECD's Frascati Manual.[20] In 1966, Freeman founded the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex and became its first director. It became a global hub for innovation research and attracted scholars from across the world. Research Policy was established in 1971 with Freeman as editor-in-chief.[1] In 1984, Keith Pavitt succeeded Freeman as the R.M. Phillips Professor of Science Policy and as the main editor of the journal, a post he would hold until his retirement in 2002.[21][22]

Research Policy: X was Research Policy's open access mirror journal that was discontinued in 2021.[23][24]
