About the Journal:

This Special Issue is closely linked to the 14th Academy of Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Knowledge Conference (June 2021, Paris, France), where the Special Issue Guest Editor Team will run a track on this topic. Papers accepted for and presented at the Conference will be eligible for publication in the Special Issue. Please note, however, that only papers by participating authors who thoroughly review relevant studies published in TF&SC will be considered for inclusion in the Special Issue. Acceptance of a paper for presentation at the Conference makes that paper eligible for publication in the TF&SC Special Issue on “Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Knowledge”, provided the paper has been carefully written for the TF&SC readership.

Editors of leading journals will participate in the Conference. The Conference will take place from June 14 to 16, 2021. Papers will be presented at IAE Paris – Sorbonne Business School. The Conference will address several topics, and each participating journal will choose the topic or topics that fit that journal’s scope. One of the goals of the Conference is to select papers that, depending on the scope of the participating journals and the quality of the papers, will appear in Special Issues or Special Sections of these participating journals. The selection and review of articles will be carried out initially by the Conference Advisory Committee. Papers whose theoretical framework and method do not meet the standards of quality and rigor required by the participating journals will not be accepted for presentation at the Conference. Papers that pass the first review stage will then be reviewed by the Academy Editorial Advisory Board, and decisions will be taken by the Guest Editors of the associated journals. Papers should be highly relevant and should closely fit the participating journals’ scope and research focus. After the Conference, the Guest Editors of each journal will decide which papers will be recommended for inclusion in the Special Issues of the corresponding publications. Depending on the quality of submissions, best papers will be published in the Special Issues of these SSCI journals. The Conference is unique in this respect. The deadline for submitting papers is February 1, 2021 (for full papers). Papers should be submitted to the Conference via the Conference website. (To Visit the Website, Click Here)
