About Research Policy

    Research and development (R&D) and innovation today absorb very considerable resources. These activities have great influence on the policies of industrial firms, government departments, universities and nations. Research Policy is a multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the policy and management problems posed by innovation, R&D, technology and science, and related activities concerned with the acquisition of knowledge (learning) and its exploitation. Its papers examine the interaction between these activities and economic, social, political and institutional processes. Many of the papers are empirically focused but others are more theoretical.
