Prometheus 

About the Journal

Prometheus publishes critical papers, those that express – and justify – opinions on innovation issues. We are particularly attracted to papers that challenge prevailing views. We encourage debate. Prometheus aims to publish papers that are not so technical or specialised that they cannot be appreciated by a wide readership that includes academics, practitioners, and policymakers. 

Aims & Scope

From a core interest in technological change and the information required to bring it about, the journal’s scope has expanded to cover: 

• the history of innovation
• information for innovation
• invention and creativity 
• research and development

• diffusion of innovation
• science and technology policy
• organisational strategy for innovation
• intellectual property rights

Journal Information

The journal is published quarterly in March, June, September and December. Prometheus is indexed in Scopus.
