About this journal
Aims and scope
Technology Analysis & Strategic Management is an international research journal, linking the analysis of science, technology and innovation with the strategic needs of policy makers and management. The Journal presents research on the analysis of innovation and technology, and on the associated processes, potentials and implications, as well as the development of appropriate methodologies for the effective conduct of such studies.
The scope of the Journal extends from innovation and technological issues at the corporate and organizational level, through state, national and international capabilities, as far as issues of technology-related global politics. Technology Analysis & Strategic Management also promotes strategic thinking about how science and technology can be exploited industrially.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
