General thoughts on CIJ
• Building on legacy of scientific exploration
• That is why CERN is appropriate, and also why natural sciences is
appropriate…
• Decision-making in managing innovations
• Cross-disciplinary domains without stated boundaries…
• Open access, double-blind review, on-line only research journal
• Intellectually challenging providing evidence-based results

Editorial Board meeting
DiscussionsEditorial plans and mission
• Editorial policy and mission of the journal
• CIJ is targeted at communicating thought-provoking, contemporary, and latest findings in experimental
innovation research.
• CIJ is devoted to publishing the latest research and theory development in in-situ innovation experimentation,
strategic innovation management, knowledge exchange and management, and innovation policy issues in
cross-sections of science, technology, innovation, and business.
• The intent of CIJ is to provide evidence-based results that guide decision-making in managing innovations.
• The unifying theme of all articles published in CIJ is that they examine innovation creation, management, and
utilization based on empirical experimentation.
• Topical areas of CIJ deal with various cross-disciplinary domains ranging from idea creation to innovation
development to consumer, end-user participation, business-to-business context, policy decision-making or
other topical areas.
• Demonstration of scientific research methods and rigor is a must for all articles published in CIJ.Editorial process • Accessible to everybody • Hence open journal • Possibility for authors to widen to full-fledged article (retain copyright) • Easy submission with only core results (Abstract, Intro, Theory, Method, Results, Findings/Conclusions) • How do we attract submissions (PhD candidates, colleagues, etc?) • Short, informative, concise, to-the-point manuscripts? • Author awards? Like most downloaded of the month, most viewed abstract etc? • Fast and rigorous double blind-review process (what is fast?) • Editorial board members in the first phase? • Building a database of reviewers on topical areas? • Use of pre-defined reviewer form with standard assessment items?
Publishing plans…
• Vol. 1 Iss. 1:
• In order to establish grounds, guide future contributions, and attract citations from the start
• 1st issue “Experimental Method”, Associate Editors propose topics and deliver manuscripts
• Also if you know someone who would be good/appropriate
• How does this sound to you?
• Vol. 1 Iss. 2-4 (the first year) Special issues+regular papers
• Editorial Board members as Guest Editors in their own topics?
• Attracting 4-6 manuscripts on tightly defined topical area
• Is this a good idea and would you be interested in taking the helm?
• Vol. 2 onwards…
• Special Topical Sections (if we find this attractive and have interested Associate Editors?)
• Mostly regular papers though…
• Once/twice a year a PhD colloquium in “Experimental Innovation Research”
• Who what when where?
• Is this a good idea? With general experimental or topical focus?
• Special Issue once a year?So where do we aim with this experiment… • Target: • Establish CIJ as THE source in Experiments in Innovation Management • Get steady in-flow of manuscripts • Get frequent citations in established outlets • WoS and Scopus indexing in 3-5 years • Getting visibility • What and how to aim to monitor…
