Research output of Journal Technovation: A scientometric study

Abstract

Technology innovation plays a significant role in the advancement of our society. This paper took the Journal Technovation for example, trying to trace knowledge flows from scientific research in the development of technology innovation. For this purpose 1,771 articles published during the period of 1981–2013 in the journal have been evaluated. The scientometric analysis was used to visualize the evolution of scientific research for the case of Journal Technovation in the context of actual diffusion of different technologies. The multidisciplinary characteristics of technology innovation have been uncovered. More recent research focus is on patents, absorptive capacity, and innovation networks. The results show wide range of research topics in the field of technology innovation. Research focus changes over time and the authors have wide country spread including new emergent economies like China, India, Brazil and South Africa. UK and US institutions stand as core positions in the whole cooperation network for innovation research. It is suggested that institutions from new emerging countries need to strengthen their research networks and agendas not only individually, but also cooperate on a national and international level.
