What to Look for When Choosing a Journal
Before submitting your research, evaluate journals on these key criteria:
- Interdisciplinary scope — technology management, innovation policy, digital transformation
- Cross-disciplinary editorial board spanning engineering and social sciences
- Google Scholar and CrossRef DOI indexing for broad academic reach
- Open access model — ideal for policy-relevant innovation research
- Peer review by experts in both technical and management dimensions of innovation
- Affordable APC and transparent publication fees

Fast Publication: All Keith Publications journals complete initial review within 2–5 business days and full peer review within 2–4 weeks. Articles are published online within 5–10 days of acceptance — making us one of the fastest open access publishers in the engineering and technology field.
Innovation and Technology Research Scope
Keith Publications accepts innovation and technology studies research covering technology diffusion and adoption, digital transformation strategies, open innovation models, R&D management, technology entrepreneurship, innovation ecosystems, national innovation systems, frugal innovation, responsible innovation, disruptive technology analysis, intellectual property and technology transfer, and the societal impacts of technological change. Conceptual frameworks, empirical case studies, and systematic literature reviews are all welcome.
Innovation Studies: Bridging Engineering and Management
Innovation and technology studies occupy a unique space between engineering and management research. Papers that draw on both technical analysis and organisational or strategic frameworks are particularly valuable — they help practitioners, policymakers, and researchers understand not just what a technology does, but how it is developed, adopted, and scaled. Keith Publications' Cluster 2 journals provide the ideal venue for this kind of interdisciplinary innovation research.
Tips to Maximise Your Acceptance Chances
- Align your topic with the journal's scope — read the aims and scope carefully before submitting.
- Write a compelling abstract — it's the first thing editors and reviewers read. Make it clear, concise, and keyword-rich.
- Ensure strong methodology — clearly describe your research design, experimental setup, or computational approach.
- Use current and relevant citations — include recent publications (within the last 5 years) alongside seminal engineering works.
- Follow formatting guidelines exactly — non-compliant manuscripts are often desk-rejected without review.
- Present results clearly — use tables, figures, and graphs to communicate quantitative findings effectively.
- State practical implications — explain how your engineering or technology findings can be applied in practice.
