    The quality of articles submitted to Brazilian journals has been a source of criticism (Ferreira & Falaster, 2016), not only in the International Journal of Innovation - IJI but also in other journals. Journals also usually receive work outside their scope. It motivated us to write this editorial comment. We aim to help the authors better understand the scope of the IJI and understand what we expect from the submitted works. Our concern is related to the format and the elements necessary for each type of work. In addition to the authors, the reviewers can also consult this editorial comment to guide their evaluations.The predominant field of IJI is innovation with a focus on emerging markets. Within innovation, the themes of interest to the journal are: Innovative Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Learning, Innovation and Sustainability, Internationalization of Innovation, Innovation Systems, Emerging Themes of Innovation and Digital Transformation. As scope, the IJI brings: Scientific research, theoretical essays, and reviews that advance the understanding and variety of innovation, improve its efficiency and critical approaches. We prioritize the development of new challenging theories, clarify existing theories, and identify new theoretical issues. Example: Systematic reviews, Bibliometrics, Theoretical essays, Reviews, among others.Empirical investigations or applied tests that, based on theories or references formulated, show state of the art and practical application in innovation; priority is given to unpublished technological contributions and their importance for studies in the area. Example: Empirical articles (quantitative and qualitative), Technological articles, Articles with guidelines for practice, among others.Perspectives that show the advance of established and emerging methodologies that are used in the area of innovation such as: Experimental, Technometrics, Text Mining, Data Mining, Modeling, Bibliometrics, Netnography, Neuroscientific Methods, Design Science Research, Grounded Theory and others.We will continue discussing what we expect from the papers submitted to IJI. We will contextualize some of the types of papers we accept: Articles, Technological articles, Perspectives, Reviews, and Editorial Comments. When submitting the work at IJI, the author must choose one of these options mentioned. We remind the authors that all types of papers must contain a structured summary in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. This structured summary can be adapted for reviews and perspectives, using only the elements that fit the study. Editorial commentLast year, we started the editorial comment section at IJI. This section is exclusively authored by the editors of IJI and their guests. Eventually, we invite members of the editorial board or scholars to contribute with their knowledge. Editorial comments do not go through peer review. Therefore, they are not considered articles.With the editorial comments from IJI, our goal is to assist authors and readers in understanding the various aspects related to scientific research, the publication of articles, and themes related to innovation. We want to help the researchers in their scholarly productions, orienting their articles in the best possible way. We intend to guide the IJI community through our editorial comments, minimizing the desks rejects of the articles, and maximizing authors' publications in the area of innovation. Articles[1]At the time of submission, authors who choose this type of work option may include empirical articles (qualitative and quantitative), theoretical and review articles (systematic literature reviews, bibliometric, theoretical essays)—always taking care of the scope of the IJI with a focus on innovation in emerging countries.In addition to the formatting guidelines that are found in the IJI, we suggest that the articles follow the following structure: Introduction; Literature review; Conceptual Development (Propositions or Hypotheses, when applicable); Methods; Results; Discussions and Conclusions. This structure, which will be suggested below, may undergo some changes depending on the article type. For example, a review article may not have a literature review section, as its results play this role. We suggest that an article has approximately 8000 (eight thousand) words.Introduction: When developing the introduction note the following aspects with greater specificity: if it is clear what the theoretical focus is used, present the research question that motivates the article, indicates the method, present the main results and the contributions or implications. Some failure possibilities deserve special attention from the authors: (1) the article indicates the research question, and (2) the article includes an explanation of the desired contribution.Literature review: Aspects to be considered by the authors: (1) the author is not limited to exposing a set of previous works on a theme with little connection to the current article; (2) links previous works to this article - the authors must clarify how previous referenced works relate to this article; and (3) it has a good balance in the inclusion of classic, or seminal, pertinent references, and more recent references.Conceptual development (propositions or hypotheses, when applicable): An article may or may not have propositions or hypotheses, but it must always have specific conceptual support that motivates the study. Authors should pay attention to the text of the propositions or hypotheses, the consistency between the various hypotheses, and whether they are adjusted to the research question. Authors should give special attention to the argument that supports each of the propositions or hypotheses. Check that it is consistent.Method: The method section needs to be elaborated on several aspects, especially on the data collection procedures and instruments, sample, variables, and data analysis procedures. Check if the data are appropriate to the objectives and if they are not biased. The article should include an adequate explanation of the data and sources used, given that primary data or lesser-known sources require further explanation. Likewise, it is important to understand the characteristics of the data and their representativeness, for which the sample description must be complete. An adequate description if an instrument is used is crucial, and it is not enough to send the questionnaire as an attachment to the article. The questionnaire items, the measurement method, and the source of the items are important. Finally, it is necessary to check the data analysis procedures. In empirical studies, the article must indicate which statistical technique is most effective for testing hypotheses.Results: The authors must include some descriptive elements. The descriptive component is relevant to observe the distribution of the data. A quantitative article should include the correlation table, for example. The article must contain tables with the statistical results, and in the text, the authors need to indicate sequentially if each hypothesis is verified. The text must contain an interpretation of at least the most important results.Discussion: It is a whole section for articles submitted to IJI. The authors must briefly mention the purpose of the article and how it was pursued throughout it. Here the authors must integrate the theory used in the theoretical framework, the hypotheses or propositions, and the results. It is time to show the contributions and/or implications of the study given the existing knowledge. Authors must present an analysis of the main results about the exposed theory. The discussion must be sustained in the analyzes so as not to run the risk of being speculative.Final considerations: the authors must pay special attention to some aspects. The conclusion does not need be too long. One can start by remembering the purpose of the article and how it was achieved. Authors should bring the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research. The ideal is a paragraph for each limitation and any future research. All of these elements must flow coherently and without ramblings for similar subjects or with references to other studies in progress. Technological articleWe will now conceptualize the technological article and show its difference from an academic article. The technological article is a production with a professional emphasis, with an approach mainly focused in problem-solving (Motta, 2017). It is the fundamental difference between a technological article and a production with an academic emphasis. The technological article generally describes experiences in organizations. Even so, authors must follow scientific and methodological rigor in their writing (Biancolino et al., 2012).We propose that the authors submit in this technological article section applied research that prioritizes the learning description, presenting the practical results experienced in the organizations. The CIMO logic (Van Aken, 2007) brings us some insights for a technical production:Context (problem situation);Intervention (intervention proposed to solve the problem presented);Mechanisms adopted (description of how the problem was solved);Results Obtained (objectively describe the results obtained in the organization).It is worth mentioning that in a technological article, reports of solutions implemented with results already obtained are expected. It does not make sense to report something that has not yet been implemented in the organization. So, it is expected that the technological article submitted to IJI will offer contributions to knowledge, as an example (Gregor and Hevner, 2013):Focus on innovation: new solutions to new problems;Focus on improvement: new solutions to known problems;Focus on extrapolation: known solutions to new problems.Another point that we would like to clarify is the size of a technological article. Even if some journals accept technological articles with fewer pages, we suggest that the submission to IJI has at least 6000 (six thousand) words. Also, authors should follow the format available in the guidelines for the author, including the structured abstract and adopting the structure[2] presented below.Introduction: its purpose is to present what the technological article is about briefly, and the intervention carried out, making it clear which problem situation will be solved. Quickly inform how the research was carried out and how the data collected to interpret the technological article were interpreted.Literature review: must be related to the intervention carried out in the organization. The theoretical framework will give theoretical support to the findings of the technological article and contribute to the discussion of the results obtained.Technical production method: despite being a technical production, the technological article must follow a method, which must be well detailed. It should contain a description of the procedures used to collect the data and information relevant to the technological article's realization. It needs to indicate whether it was a direct observation or direct participation, among other examples.Context and problem situation: the authors must present the problem or the opportunity and characterize the organization.Types of intervention and mechanisms adopted: the authors must analyze the problem situation and discuss the possible alternatives for its resolution: innovation, improvement or extrapolation, and describing the activities developed to solve the problem situation.Results obtained and analysis: the authors must bring the most relevant contributions according to the subjects dealt with in the technological article. Its relevance for similar cases with lessons from the reported experience should be emphasized. Describe the results obtained and analyze the data.Discussions and final considerations: the discussion is also welcome in the technological article. It is time to compare the analysis of the results with the researched theory. Show that the objectives of the technological article have been achieved. The authors can comment on the limitations for the research to be carried out and propose new ideas for studies of a technical nature that can continue what was presented.References: the authors must insert at the end all authors used in the theoretical framework, according to APA standards found in the IJI guidelines. Reviews[3]Review is the analysis of a work in an evaluative and critical way, exposing the summary of its main points. Authors who choose this option at the time of submission should exercise caution. They must remember that the review is an academic work to encourage authors and readers to understand and criticize the reviewed work.With this review section, the IJI proposes to provide, for its readers and the wider community of academics, interesting reviews that deal with topics relevant to research or the practice of innovation. The reviews can be, for example, of recently published books and seminal or classic books, which are important for the academic community and complement the training of graduate students.The suggested steps in the review, presented below, should make sense for the author and the reader. All of these elements must appear coherently and fluidly in the text of the review. We suggest that a review has at least 6000 (six thousand) words, depending on the work reviewed.Bibliographic reference: presents a brief description of the work's registration data, such as author's name, title/subtitle, edition (place of publication, publisher, edition, etc.), number of pages.References of the author of the work: this phase is dedicated to the author's data, such as date and place of birth and death (if applicable), his main works, and the works' main themes.What are the issues that mobilized the work being examined: explain why, according to the author, the work is important for studies in this field. This information is generally placed in the introduction and can be important to understand the meaning of the work.Context of the work: indicates the period and place in which the work was carried out, especially in the case of publications and works considered seminal.Methodology of the work (if it is the case especially works of a theoretical-practical nature): point out the main methodological axes described by the author.Summary of the work's main conclusions: this phase is dedicated to the conclusions/contributions of the work, according to the author.Most important bibliographic references of the reviewed work: identify the main references most cited in the work.Reviewer's Opinion: Main contributions of the work, according to the reviewer;For which target audience can this work be recommended?What is your opinion about the work? Strengths and weaknesses, specific limitations.The reviewer can complement the review with results from other research on the topic in question. For example, present the results of a systematic review or a bibliometric for possible additions to the theme or comparisons. PerspectiveIn the perspective section, we want to reach specialist readers who are not necessarily academic to disseminate ideas and concepts that can contribute to practice and reflection on their day-to-day activities in the scope of innovation. These articles seek to focus on evidence, much more than on the development of theory. However, they can demonstrate the advancement of established and emerging methodologies that are used in the area of innovation, such as Experimental, Technometrics, Text Mining, Data Mining, Modeling, Bibliometrics, Netnography, Neuroscientific Methods, Design Science Research, Grounded Theory, and others, as we mentioned earlier. Thus, this section proposes to receive articles reviewing concepts, articles that integrate theories and results, new ideas about the field, and integration of fields of study.Our intention with the perspectives section is to raise debates and increase the IJI community's discussion to attract the public to thoughts and reflections on the theme of innovation. In addition to having another channel to disseminate academic research progress, so distant from executives and undergraduate students, or even academics from other areas of knowledge. We suggest that a prospect has at least 6000 (six thousand) words. Main reasons for work failures at IJIWe will share with the IJI community the main reasons for rejection of the submitted works. The aim is to bring our experience as editors in the conduct of editorial processes. This way, we minimize rejections in the desk reviews and the works that peers are already evaluating. The desk review is a moment before peer review; it takes place before the editors send the submitted article to the reviewers. The IJI desk review takes place in two stages, which will be described below.In the first stage, as soon as the work is submitted to IJI, it undergoes a technical desk review to verify that the work is minimally in the journal's rules. It is at this point that many authors need to resubmit their work. The main reasons are:Authors forget to exclude the indication of their names in the file sent;The work goes through plagiarism identification software, and we often find similarities outside of good academic practices;The authors do not place the work within the rules presented in the submission guidelines. For example, the IJI only accepts papers within the APA standards, or with a certain maximum number of pages. Moreover, the authors do not adapt their article in our format.After the technical verification, we, the editors, carried out the second stage of the desk review. In this step, we assess the work scope as adherent to IJI, as presented at the beginning of this editorial comment. We also check if the work is adequate according to the suggestions we present in the articles we receive for submissions. The main reasons for rejections at this stage of the desk review are:The works are not within the scope established in the IJI;The works do not meet the suggested structure suggestions for each type of study. As an example: they do not have a discussion section; or do not have a literature review section in the empirical articles; they do not have a minimum number of words, making it a superficial job; they have serious method errors.After the works go through these two stages of desk review, we proceed with the editorial process, and the works are sent to the reviewers. Right now, there are several reasons for rejection. But most of the time, the works are rejected because the authors do not heed the suggestions of the reviewers. An important item that facilitates this process of rounds between the authors and the reviewers is the letter of reply from the authors regarding changes in the work. Our guideline is that when the authors send the revised paper, send a letter and all the changes suggested by the reviewers made in this new version.We take the opportunity to thank the authors for their confidence in submitting their work to the IJI. We also thank the efforts of all the reviewers, who were involved with the IJI, for their extraordinary work and to offer authors valuable suggestions for improvement. We hope that readers will appreciate our editorial comment and that the guidelines will be useful to further improve their submissions to IJI. And that they serve as an incentive to send your research papers on innovation to our journal.[1] (Adapted from Ferreira, 2014).[2] (Adapted from Biancolino et al., 2012).[3] (Adapted from Marconi & Lakatos, 2010).A qualidade dos artigos submetidos aos periódicos brasileiros tem sido motivo de críticas (Ferreira & Falaster, 2016), não somente no International Journal of Innovation – IJI, mas também, em outros periódicos de nossos relacionamentos. Os periódicos também costumam receber trabalhos fora do escopo. Isso nos motivou a escrever esse comentário editorial. Nosso intuito é ajudar os autores a conhecerem melhor o escopo do IJI e compreenderem o que esperamos dos trabalhos submetidos. Nossa preocupação não está somente relacionada ao formato, mas também nos elementos necessários para cada tipo de trabalho. Além dos autores, os revisores também podem consultar esse comentário editorial para orientar as suas avaliações.O campo predominante do IJI está na inovação com foco em mercados emergentes. Dentro da inovação, os temas de interesse do periódico são: Empreendedorismo Inovador, Inovação e Aprendizagem, Inovação e Sustentabilidade, Internacionalização da Inovação, Sistemas de Inovação, Temas Emergentes de Inovação e Transformação Digital. Como escopo, o IJI traz:Pesquisas científicas, ensaio teóricos e resenhas que avançam em relação a compreensão e a variedade da inovação, tanto na melhoria de sua eficiência como em abordagens críticas; prioriza-se o desenvolvimento de novas teorias desafiadoras, esclarecimentos de teorias existentes e identificação de novas questões teóricas. Exemplo: Revisões sistemáticas, Bibliometrias, Ensaios teóricos, Resenhas, entre outros.Investigações empíricas ou ensaios aplicados que a partir de teorias ou referenciais formulados mostrem o estado da técnica e a aplicação prática no campo da inovação; prioriza-se contribuições tecnológicas inéditas e sua importância para os estudos na área. Exemplo: Artigos empíricos (quantitativos e qualitativos), Artigos tecnológicos, Artigos com orientações para a prática, entre outros.Perspectivas que demostrem o avanço de metodologias consagradas e emergentes que são usadas na área de inovação, tais como, métodos Experimentais, Tecnométricos, Text Mining, Data Mining, Modelagem, Bibliometria, Netnografia, Métodos Neurocientíficos, Design Science Research, Grounded

The main reasons are:Authors forget to exclude the indication of their names in the file sent;The work goes through plagiarism identification software, and we often find similarities outside of good academic practices;The authors do not place the work within the rules presented in the submission guidelines. For example, the IJI only accepts papers within the APA standards, or with a certain maximum number of pages. Moreover, the authors do not adapt their article in our format.After the technical verification, we, the editors, carried out the second stage of the desk review. In this step, we assess the work scope as adherent to IJI, as presented at the beginning of this editorial comment. We also check if the work is adequate according to the suggestions we present in the articles we receive for submissions. The main reasons for rejections at this stage of the desk review are:The works are not within the scope established in the IJI;The works do not meet the suggested structure suggestions for each type of study. As an example: they do not have a discussion section; or do not have a literature review section in the empirical articles; they do not have a minimum number of words, making it a superficial job; they have serious method errors.After the works go through these two stages of desk review, we proceed with the editorial process, and the works are sent to the reviewers. Right now, there are several reasons for rejection. But most of the time, the works are rejected because the authors do not heed the suggestions of the reviewers. An important item that facilitates this process of rounds between the authors and the reviewers is the letter of reply from the authors regarding changes in the work. Our guideline is that when the authors send the revised paper, send a letter and all the changes suggested by the reviewers made in this new version.We take the opportunity to thank the authors for their confidence in submitting their work to the IJI. We also thank the efforts of all the reviewers, who were involved with the IJI, for their extraordinary work and to offer authors valuable suggestions for improvement. We hope that readers will appreciate our editorial comment and that the guidelines will be useful to further improve their submissions to IJI. And that they serve as an incentive to send your research papers on innovation to our journal.[1] (Adapted from Ferreira, 2014).[2] (Adapted from Biancolino et al., 2012).[3] (Adapted from Marconi & Lakatos, 2010).A qualidade dos artigos submetidos aos periódicos brasileiros tem sido motivo de críticas (Ferreira & Falaster, 2016), não somente no International Journal of Innovation – IJI, mas também, em outros periódicos de nossos relacionamentos. Os periódicos também costumam receber trabalhos fora do escopo. Isso nos motivou a escrever esse comentário editorial. Nosso intuito é ajudar os autores a conhecerem melhor o escopo do IJI e compreenderem o que esperamos dos trabalhos submetidos. Nossa preocupação não está somente relacionada ao formato, mas também nos elementos necessários para cada tipo de trabalho. Além dos autores, os revisores também podem consultar esse comentário editorial para orientar as suas avaliações.O campo predominante do IJI está na inovação com foco em mercados emergentes. Dentro da inovação, os temas de interesse do periódico são: Empreendedorismo Inovador, Inovação e Aprendizagem, Inovação e Sustentabilidade, Internacionalização da Inovação, Sistemas de Inovação, Temas Emergentes de Inovação e Transformação Digital. Como escopo, o IJI traz:Pesquisas científicas, ensaio teóricos e resenhas que avançam em relação a compreensão e a variedade da inovação, tanto na melhoria de sua eficiência como em abordagens críticas; prioriza-se o desenvolvimento de novas teorias desafiadoras, esclarecimentos de teorias existentes e identificação de novas questões teóricas. Exemplo: Revisões sistemáticas, Bibliometrias, Ensaios teóricos, Resenhas, entre outros.Investigações empíricas ou ensaios aplicados que a partir de teorias ou referenciais formulados mostrem o estado da técnica e a aplicação prática no campo da inovação; prioriza-se contribuições tecnológicas inéditas e sua importância para os estudos na área. Exemplo: Artigos empíricos (quantitativos e qualitativos), Artigos tecnológicos, Artigos com orientações para a prática, entre outros.Perspectivas que demostrem o avanço de metodologias consagradas e emergentes que são usadas na área de inovação, tais como, métodos Experimentais, Tecnométricos, Text Mining, Data Mining, Modelagem, Bibliometria, Netnografia, Métodos Neurocientíficos, Design Science Research, Grounded

    International Journal of Innovation - IJI completes 7 yearsInternational Journal of Innovation - IJI has now 7 years old! In this editorial comment, we not only want to talk about our evolution but get even closer to the IJI community.  It is our first editorial comment, a new IJI's communication channel. Some of the changes are already described on our website.IJI is an innovation-focused journal that was created to support scientific research and thereby contribute to practice. Also, IJI was born internationally, receiving and supporting research from around the world. We welcome articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.We have published eight volumes in IJI since 2013, totaling 131 articles. Our journal is indexed in: Dialnet and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico; Ebsco Host; Erih Plus; Gale - Cengage Learning; Latindex; Proquest; Redalyc; Web of Science Core Collection (Emerging Sources Citation Index), among others. We provide free access “open access” to all its content. Articles can be read, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed and / or searched.We want to emphasize that none of this would be possible without the authors that recognized in IJI a relevant journal to publicize their work. Nor can we fail to mention the tireless and voluntary action of the reviewers, always contributing to the articles' improvement and skilling up our journal, more and more.All editors who passed through IJI have a fundamental role in this trajectory. And, none of this would be possible without the editorial team of Uninove. Everyone who passed and the current team. We want to express that our work as current editors of IJI would not be possible without you. Changes in the Intenational Journal of Innovation – IJIAs we mentioned earlier, IJI was born in 2013. And, over time, we are improving its structure always to improve it. In this section, we want to show some changes we made. We intend that editorial comments become a communication channel and that they can help our readers, authors, and reviewers to keep up with these changes.Although IJI is a comprehensive Innovation journal, one of the changes we want to inform you is that now, at the time of submission, the author will choose one of the available topics that best suit your article. The themes are: Innovative Entrepreneurship; Innovation and Learning; Innovation and Sustainability; Internationalization of Innovation; Innovation Systems; Emerging Innovation Themes and; Digital Transformation. Below, we present each theme so that everyone can get to know them:Innovative Entrepreneurship: emerging markets provided dynamic advantages for small businesses and their entrepreneurs to exploit the supply flows of resources, capacities, and knowledge-based on strategies oriented to the management of innovation. Topics covered in this theme include, for example: resources and capabilities that support innovative entrepreneurship; innovation habitats (Universities, Science and Technology Parks, Incubators and Accelerators) and their influences on the development of knowledge-intensive spin-offs and start-ups; open innovation, triple/quadruple helix, knowledge transfer, effectuation, bricolage and co-creation of value in knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship ecosystems; and adequate public policies to support innovative entrepreneurship.Innovation and Learning: discussions on this topic focus on the relationship between learning and innovation as topics with the potential to improve teaching and learning. They also focus on ways in which we acquire knowledge through innovation and how knowledge encourages new forms of innovation. Topics covered in this theme include, for example: innovative projects for learning; innovation-oriented learning; absorptive capacity; innovation in organizational learning and knowledge creation; unlearning and learning for technological innovation; new learning models; dynamics of innovation and learning; skills and innovation.Innovation and Sustainability: discussions on this topic seek to promote the development of innovation with a focus on sustainability, encouraging new ways of thinking about sustainable development issues. Topics covered in this theme include, for example: development of new sustainable products; circular economy; reverse logistic; smart cities; technological changes for sustainable development; innovation and health in the scope of sustainability; sustainable innovation and policies; innovation and education in sustainability and social innovation.Internationalization of Innovation: the rise of developing countries as an innovation center and their new nomenclature for emerging markets have occupied an important place in the international research agenda on global innovation and Research and Development (R&D) strategies. Topics covered in this theme include, for example: resources and capabilities that support the internationalization of innovation and R&D; global and local innovation and R&D strategies; reverse innovation; internationalization of start-ups and digital companies; development of low-cost products, processes and services with a high-value offer internationalized to foreign markets; innovations at the base of the pyramid, disruptive and/or frugal developed and adopted in emerging markets and replicated in international markets; institutional factors that affect firms' innovation efforts in emerging markets.Innovation Systems: regulation and public policies define the institutional environment to drive innovation. Topics include industrial policy, technological trends and macroeconomic performance; investment ecosystem for the development and commercialization of new products, based on government and private investments; investment strategies related to new companies based on science or technology; Technology transfer to, from and between developing countries; technological innovation in all forms of business, political and economic systems. Topics such as triple helix, incubators, and other structures for cooperation, fostering and mobilizing innovation are expected in this section.Emerging Themes: from the applied themes, many emerging problems have a significant impact on management, such as industry 4.0, the internet of things, artificial intelligence or social innovations, or non-economic benefits. Intellectual property is treated as a cognitive database and can be understood as a technological library with the registration of the product of human creativity and invention. Social network analysis reveals the relationships between transforming agents and other elements; therefore, encouraged to be used in research and submitted in this section. The theoretical field not fully developed is not a barrier to explore any theme or question in this section.Digital Transformation: this interdisciplinary theme covers all the antecedents, intervening, and consequent effects of digital transformation in the field of technology-based companies and technology-based business ventures. The technological innovator (human side of innovation) as an entrepreneur, team member, manager, or employee is considered an object of study either as an agent of innovation or an element of the innovation process. Digital change or transformation is considered as a process that moves from the initial status to the new digital status, anchored in the theories of innovation, such as adoption, diffusion, push / pull of technology, innovation management, service innovation, disruptive innovation, innovation frugal innovation economy, organizational behavior, context of innovation, capabilities and transaction costs. Authors who submit to IJI will realize that they now need to make a structured summary at the time of submission. The summary must include the following information:(maximum of 250 words + title + keywords = Portuguese, English and Spanish).Title.Objective of the study (mandatory): Indicate the objective of the work, that is, what you want to demonstrate or describe.Methodology / approach (mandatory): Indicate the scientific method used in carrying out the study. In the case of theoretical essays, it is recommended that the authors indicate the theoretical approach adopted.Originality / Relevance (mandatory): Indicate the theoretical gap in which the study is inserted, also presenting the academic relevance of the discipline.Main results (mandatory): briefly indicate the main results achieved.Theoretical-methodological contributions (mandatory): Indicate the main theoretical and / or methodological implications that have been achieved with the results of the study.Social / managerial contributions (mandatory): Indicate the main managerial and / or social implications obtained through the results of the study.Keywords: between three and five keywords that characterize the work. Another change regarding the organization of the IJI concerns the types of work. In addition to the Editorial Comment and Articles, the journal will include Technological Articles, Perspectives, and Reviews. Thus, when submitting a study, authors will be able to choose from the available options for types of work. Throughout the next issues of the IJI, in the editorial comments, we will pass on pertinent information about every kind of work, to assist the authors in their submissions.Currently, the IJI is available to readers with new works three times a year (January-April; May-August; September-December) with publications in English, Portuguese and Spanish. From what comes next, we will have some changes in the periodicity. Next stepsAs editors, we want the IJI to continue with a national and international impact and increase its relevance in the indexing bases. For this, we will work together with the entire editorial team, reviewers, and authors to improve the work. We will do our best to give full support to the evaluators who are so dedicated to making constructive evaluations to the authors. We will also support authors with all the necessary information.With editorial comments, we intend to pass on knowledge to readers, authors, and reviewers to improve the articles gradually. We also aim to support classroom activities and content.Even with the changes reported here, we continue to accept all types of work, as long as they have an appropriate methodology. We also maintain our scope and continue to publish all topics involving innovation. We want to support academic events on fast tracks increasingly. About the articles in this edition of IJIThis issue is the first we consider the new organization of the International Journal of Innovation - IJI. We started with this editorial comment talking about the changes and improvements that we are making at IJI—as an example, showing the reader, reviewer, and author that the scope remains the same. However, at the time of submission, the author has to choose one of the proposed themes and have a mandatory abstract structured in three languages (English, Portuguese, and Spanish).In this issue, we have a section of perspectives that addresses the “Fake Agile” phenomenon. This phenomenon is related to the difficulties that companies face throughout the agile transformation, causing companies not to reach full agility and not return to their previous management model.Next, we publish the traditional section with scientific articles. The article “Critical success factors of the incubation network of enterprises of the IFES” brings critical success factors as the determining variables to keep business incubators competitive, improving their organizational processes, and ensuring their survival. Another published article, “The sharing economy dilemma: the response of incumbent firms to the rise of the sharing economy”, addresses the sharing economy in terms of innovation. The results of the study suggest that the current response to the sharing economy so far is moderate and limited. The article “Analysis of the provision for implementation of reverse logistics in the supermarket retail” made it possible to observe that through the variables that define retail characteristics, it is not possible to say whether a supermarket will implement the reverse logistics process. And the article “Capability building in fuzzy front end management in a high technology services company”, whose main objective was to assess the adherence among Fuzzy Front End (FFE) facilitators, was reported in the literature its application in the innovation process of a company, an innovative multinational high-tech services company.We also published the article “The evolution of triple helix movement: an analysis of scientific communications through bibliometric technique”. The study is a bibliometric review that brings essential contributions to the area. This issue also includes a literature review entitled “Service innovation tools: a literature review” that aimed to systematically review the frameworks proposed and applied by the literature on service innovation.The technological article “A model to adopt Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) among Saudi SMEs”, in a new IJI publication section, addresses the main issues related to the intention to use ERPBI in the Saudi private sector.As we mentioned earlier in this editorial, IJI has a slightly different organization. With the new format, we intend to contribute to the promotion of knowledge in innovation. Also, we aim to increasingly present researchers and students with possibilities of themes and gaps for their research and bring insights to professionals in the field.Again, we thank the reviewers who dedicate their time and knowledge in the evaluations, always helping the authors. We wish you, readers, to enjoy the articles in this issue and feel encouraged to send your studies in innovation to the International Journal of Innovation - IJI.O International Journal of Innovation – IJI completa 7 anosO International Journal of Innovation - IJI completou 7 anos! Neste comentário editorial, não queremos apenas falar sobre nossa evolução, mas nos aproximar ainda mais da comunidade IJI. É o nosso primeiro comentário editorial, um novo canal de comunicação do IJI. Algumas das mudanças já estão descritas em nosso site.O IJI é um periódico com foco na inovação que foi criado para apoiar a pesquisa científica e, com isso, contribuir para a prática.  Além disso, o IJI já nasceu internacional recebendo e apoiando pesquisas do mundo todo. Recebemos artigos em: português, inglês e em espanhol.Publicamos no IJI, desde 2013, 8 volumes, totalizando 131 artigos. O nosso periódico está indexado em: Dialnet and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico; Ebsco Host; Erih Plus; Gale - Cengage Learning; Latindex; Proquest; Redalyc; Web of Science Core Collection (Emerging Sources Citation Index), dentre outras. Disponibilizamos acesso livre “open access” a todo o seu conteúdo, podendo os artigos serem lidos, descarregados, copiados, distribuídos, impressos e/ou pesquisados.Queremos ressaltar que nada disso seria possível sem os autores que reconheceram no IJI um periódico importante para divulgarem os seus trabalhos. Também não podemos deixar de mencionar o trabalho incansável e voluntário dos revisores, sempre contribuindo para a melhoria dos artigos. Com isso, melhorando cada vez mais a qualidade do nosso periódico.Todos os editores que passaram pelo IJI possuem um papel fundamental nessa trajetória. E, nada disso seria possível sem a equipe editorial da Uninove. Todos que passaram e a equipe atual. Queremos expressar que o nosso trabalho como atuais editores do IJI não seria possível sem vocês. As mudanças no Intenational Journal of Innovation - IJIComo mencionamos anteriormente, o IJI nasceu em 2013. E, ao longo do tempo, estamos aprimorando a sua estrutura com o intuito de melhorá-lo sempre. Queremos aqui, nesta seção, mostrar algumas modificações que realizamos. A nossa intenção é que os comentários editoriais se tornem um canal de comunicação e que eles possam ajudar aos nossos leitores, autores e revisores a acompanharem essas mudanças.Apesar do IJI ser um periódico de Inovação abrangente, uma das mudanças que queremos informar é que agora, no momento da submissão, o autor irá escolher um dos temas disponíveis que melhor se adeque ao seu artigo. Os temas são:  Empreendedorismo Inovador; Inovação e Aprendizagem; Inovação e Sustentabilidade; Internacionalização da Inovação; Sistemas de Inovação; Temas Emergentes de Inovação e; Transformação Digital. A seguir, apresentamos cada tema para que todos possam conhecê-los: Empreendedorismo Inovador: os mercados emergentes têm propiciado vantagens dinâmicas para os pequenos negócios e seus empreendedores explorarem os fluxos de oferta de recursos, capacidades e conhecimento a partir de estratégias orientadas para a gestão da inovação. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: recursos e capacidades que suportam o empreendedorismo inovador; habitats de inovação (Universidades, Parques Científicos e Tecnológicos, Incubadoras e Aceleradoras) e suas influências no desenvolvimento de spin-offs e start-ups intensivas em conhecimento; inovação aberta, hélice tríplice/quádrupla, transferência de conhecimento, effectuation, bricolagem e cocriação de valor em ecossistemas de empreendedorismo intensivo em conhecimento; e políticas públicas adequadas para apoiar o empreendedorismo inovador.Inovação e Aprendizagem: as discussões deste tópico se concentram na relação da aprendizagem e inovação como temas com potencial para melhorarem o ensino e a aprendizagem. Além disso, se concentram em maneiras de como adquirimos conhecimento por meio da inovação e como o conhecimento incentiva novas formas de inovação. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: projetos inovadores para a aprendizagem; aprendizagem orientada para a inovação; capacidade absortiva; inovação na aprendizagem organizacional e criação do conhecimento; desaprender e aprender para a inovação tecnológica; novos modelos de aprendizagem; dinâmicas de inovação e aprendizagem; competências e inovação.Inovação e Sustentabilidade: as discussões deste tópico procuram promover o desenvolvimento da inovação com foco na sustentabilidade, incentivando novas formas de pensar sobre as questões do desenvolvimento sustentável. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: desenvolvimento de novos produtos sustentáveis; economia circular; logística reversa; cidades inteligentes; mudanças tecnológicas para o desenvolvimento sustentável; inovação e saúde no âmbito da sustentabilidade; inovação e políticas sustentáveis; inovação e educação na sustentabilidade e inovação social.Internacionalização da Inovação: a ascensão dos países em desenvolvimento como centro de inovação e sua nova nomenclatura para mercados emergentes têm ocupado um lugar de relevância na agenda internacional de pesquisa sobre estratégias globais de inovação e Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D). Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: recursos e capacidades que suportam a internacionalização da inovação e do P&D; estratégias globais e locais de inovação e P&D; inovação reversa; internacionalização de start-ups e empresas digitais; desenvolvimento de produtos, processos e serviços de baixo custo com elevada oferta de valor que são internacionalizados para mercados externos; inovações na base da pirâmide, disruptivas e/ou frugais desenvolvidas e adotadas em mercados emergentes e replicadas em mercados internacionais; e fatores institucionais que afetam os esforços de inovação das firmas em mercado emergentes.Sistemas de Inovação: regulamentação e políticas públicas definem o ambiente institucional para impulsionar a inovação. Os tópicos incluem política industrial, tendências tecnológicas e desempenho macro econômico; ecossistema de investimentos para desenvolvimento e comercialização de novos produtos, com base em investimentos governamentais e privados; estratégias de investimento relacionadas a novas empresas baseadas na ciência ou na tecnologia; Transferência de tecnologia para, de e entre países em desenvolvimento; inovação tecnológica em todas as formas de sistemas empresariais, políticos e econômicos. Tópicos como hélice tripla, incubadoras e outras estruturas de cooperação, fomento e mobilização da inovação são esperados nesta seção.Temas Emergentes: a partir dos temas aplicados, muitos problemas emergentes têm um enorme impacto no gerenciamento, por exemplo, indústria 4.0, Internet das Coisas, Inteligência Artificial ou inovações sociais ou inovação de benefícios não econômicos. A propriedade intelectual é tratada como banco de dados cognitivo e pode ser compreendida como uma biblioteca tecnológica com o registro do produto da criatividade e invenção humana. Análise de redes sociais são reveladoras das relações entre agentes transformadores e demais elementos, portanto, estimuladas a serem usadas nas pesquisas e submetidas nesta seção. O campo teórico não totalmente desenvolvido não é uma barreira para explorar algum tema ou questão nesta seção.Transformação Digital: esse tema interdisciplinar abrange todos os antecedentes, efeitos intervenientes e consequentes da transformação digital no campo das empresas de base tecnológica e empreendimentos empresariais de base tecnológica. O inovador tecnológico (lado humano da inovação) como empresário, membro da equipe, gerente ou funcionário é considerado como objeto de estudo seja como agente de inovação ou como elemento do processo de inovação. A mudança ou transformação digital é considerada como um processo que passa do status inicial para o novo status digital, ancorado nas teorias da inovação, como adoção, difusão, push/pull de tecnologia, gerenciamento de inovação, inovação em se

Algumas das mudanças já estão descritas em nosso site.O IJI é um periódico com foco na inovação que foi criado para apoiar a pesquisa científica e, com isso, contribuir para a prática.  Além disso, o IJI já nasceu internacional recebendo e apoiando pesquisas do mundo todo. Recebemos artigos em: português, inglês e em espanhol.Publicamos no IJI, desde 2013, 8 volumes, totalizando 131 artigos. O nosso periódico está indexado em: Dialnet and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico; Ebsco Host; Erih Plus; Gale - Cengage Learning; Latindex; Proquest; Redalyc; Web of Science Core Collection (Emerging Sources Citation Index), dentre outras. Disponibilizamos acesso livre “open access” a todo o seu conteúdo, podendo os artigos serem lidos, descarregados, copiados, distribuídos, impressos e/ou pesquisados.Queremos ressaltar que nada disso seria possível sem os autores que reconheceram no IJI um periódico importante para divulgarem os seus trabalhos. Também não podemos deixar de mencionar o trabalho incansável e voluntário dos revisores, sempre contribuindo para a melhoria dos artigos. Com isso, melhorando cada vez mais a qualidade do nosso periódico.Todos os editores que passaram pelo IJI possuem um papel fundamental nessa trajetória. E, nada disso seria possível sem a equipe editorial da Uninove. Todos que passaram e a equipe atual. Queremos expressar que o nosso trabalho como atuais editores do IJI não seria possível sem vocês. As mudanças no Intenational Journal of Innovation - IJIComo mencionamos anteriormente, o IJI nasceu em 2013. E, ao longo do tempo, estamos aprimorando a sua estrutura com o intuito de melhorá-lo sempre. Queremos aqui, nesta seção, mostrar algumas modificações que realizamos. A nossa intenção é que os comentários editoriais se tornem um canal de comunicação e que eles possam ajudar aos nossos leitores, autores e revisores a acompanharem essas mudanças.Apesar do IJI ser um periódico de Inovação abrangente, uma das mudanças que queremos informar é que agora, no momento da submissão, o autor irá escolher um dos temas disponíveis que melhor se adeque ao seu artigo. Os temas são:  Empreendedorismo Inovador; Inovação e Aprendizagem; Inovação e Sustentabilidade; Internacionalização da Inovação; Sistemas de Inovação; Temas Emergentes de Inovação e; Transformação Digital. A seguir, apresentamos cada tema para que todos possam conhecê-los: Empreendedorismo Inovador: os mercados emergentes têm propiciado vantagens dinâmicas para os pequenos negócios e seus empreendedores explorarem os fluxos de oferta de recursos, capacidades e conhecimento a partir de estratégias orientadas para a gestão da inovação. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: recursos e capacidades que suportam o empreendedorismo inovador; habitats de inovação (Universidades, Parques Científicos e Tecnológicos, Incubadoras e Aceleradoras) e suas influências no desenvolvimento de spin-offs e start-ups intensivas em conhecimento; inovação aberta, hélice tríplice/quádrupla, transferência de conhecimento, effectuation, bricolagem e cocriação de valor em ecossistemas de empreendedorismo intensivo em conhecimento; e políticas públicas adequadas para apoiar o empreendedorismo inovador.Inovação e Aprendizagem: as discussões deste tópico se concentram na relação da aprendizagem e inovação como temas com potencial para melhorarem o ensino e a aprendizagem. Além disso, se concentram em maneiras de como adquirimos conhecimento por meio da inovação e como o conhecimento incentiva novas formas de inovação. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: projetos inovadores para a aprendizagem; aprendizagem orientada para a inovação; capacidade absortiva; inovação na aprendizagem organizacional e criação do conhecimento; desaprender e aprender para a inovação tecnológica; novos modelos de aprendizagem; dinâmicas de inovação e aprendizagem; competências e inovação.Inovação e Sustentabilidade: as discussões deste tópico procuram promover o desenvolvimento da inovação com foco na sustentabilidade, incentivando novas formas de pensar sobre as questões do desenvolvimento sustentável. Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: desenvolvimento de novos produtos sustentáveis; economia circular; logística reversa; cidades inteligentes; mudanças tecnológicas para o desenvolvimento sustentável; inovação e saúde no âmbito da sustentabilidade; inovação e políticas sustentáveis; inovação e educação na sustentabilidade e inovação social.Internacionalização da Inovação: a ascensão dos países em desenvolvimento como centro de inovação e sua nova nomenclatura para mercados emergentes têm ocupado um lugar de relevância na agenda internacional de pesquisa sobre estratégias globais de inovação e Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D). Os tópicos abordados nesse tema incluem, por exemplo: recursos e capacidades que suportam a internacionalização da inovação e do P&D; estratégias globais e locais de inovação e P&D; inovação reversa; internacionalização de start-ups e empresas digitais; desenvolvimento de produtos, processos e serviços de baixo custo com elevada oferta de valor que são internacionalizados para mercados externos; inovações na base da pirâmide, disruptivas e/ou frugais desenvolvidas e adotadas em mercados emergentes e replicadas em mercados internacionais; e fatores institucionais que afetam os esforços de inovação das firmas em mercado emergentes.Sistemas de Inovação: regulamentação e políticas públicas definem o ambiente institucional para impulsionar a inovação. Os tópicos incluem política industrial, tendências tecnológicas e desempenho macro econômico; ecossistema de investimentos para desenvolvimento e comercialização de novos produtos, com base em investimentos governamentais e privados; estratégias de investimento relacionadas a novas empresas baseadas na ciência ou na tecnologia; Transferência de tecnologia para, de e entre países em desenvolvimento; inovação tecnológica em todas as formas de sistemas empresariais, políticos e econômicos. Tópicos como hélice tripla, incubadoras e outras estruturas de cooperação, fomento e mobilização da inovação são esperados nesta seção.Temas Emergentes: a partir dos temas aplicados, muitos problemas emergentes têm um enorme impacto no gerenciamento, por exemplo, indústria 4.0, Internet das Coisas, Inteligência Artificial ou inovações sociais ou inovação de benefícios não econômicos. A propriedade intelectual é tratada como banco de dados cognitivo e pode ser compreendida como uma biblioteca tecnológica com o registro do produto da criatividade e invenção humana. Análise de redes sociais são reveladoras das relações entre agentes transformadores e demais elementos, portanto, estimuladas a serem usadas nas pesquisas e submetidas nesta seção. O campo teórico não totalmente desenvolvido não é uma barreira para explorar algum tema ou questão nesta seção.Transformação Digital: esse tema interdisciplinar abrange todos os antecedentes, efeitos intervenientes e consequentes da transformação digital no campo das empresas de base tecnológica e empreendimentos empresariais de base tecnológica. O inovador tecnológico (lado humano da inovação) como empresário, membro da equipe, gerente ou funcionário é considerado como objeto de estudo seja como agente de inovação ou como elemento do processo de inovação. A mudança ou transformação digital é considerada como um processo que passa do status inicial para o novo status digital, ancorado nas teorias da inovação, como adoção, difusão, push/pull de tecnologia, gerenciamento de inovação, inovação em se

    Health Centres A Report and Discussion

    No full text
    This is a report (originally issued in February 1971) of the first phase of work, carried out at the Centre for Research in the Social Sciences of the University of Kent, into health centres and related aspects of primary medical care organisation. It presents the background in terms of the state of knowledge about health centres for the later studies which were being developed by the group at the University of Kent and became part of the programme of the Health Services Research Unit. Since final reports on these studies are now being completed it seemed useful to reissue the original (1971) report. The issues discussed remain relevant to policy decisions about health centres

    Analogue RF front-end IC design for ultra-wideband implantable wireless body area network radio

    Implantable wireless body area networks (WBAN) are a promising technology for health monitoring and treatment of patients requiring special care, where sensors are placed inside the human body to carry out measurements which may include telemetry or video streaming. Ultra-Wideband technology (UWB) is investigated as a candidate for the proposed implanted wireless body area sensor network due to its wide frequency spectrum and, hence, its low bit energy. UWB is introduced and then explored in terms of system constraints and circuit implementation. In this work the author has explored the unlicensed frequency spectrum to achieve better communication for implantable medical devices, since the licensed frequency band has been occupied and is overcrowded. The advantages of the unlicensed frequency band technology include a wide bandwidth which allows for Gigabit data rates over short distances. This technology only requires low power consumption due to the low complexity of the Ultra-wideband system and the low transmit power. However, with the growing demand for wireless communications systems, more challenging requirements arise. Since a wide frequency range is required, the design of a transceiver front end in the entire frequency range is challenging. In this work the author has designed a transceiver RF front end, optimised for low power using Silicon on Sapphire (SOS) CMOS technology. The circuit designed has been fabricated and measured. The author also describes how applicable UWB is used for implantable WBANs and invites future work on designing a radio capable of being installed inside the human body for medical care and monitoring
