Aim & Scope

Aim

Research in Emerging and Applied Technologies provides a peer-reviewed venue for emerging and applied technologies. The journal is intended for technology researchers, applied engineers, innovation managers, and cross-sector research teams. Its editorial goal is to publish articles that make the research question, method, evidence, and limitations visible enough for readers to evaluate and reuse.

Core Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  • Original studies in emerging technologies with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on applied innovation that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving technology assessment where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting responsible deployment to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider technology evaluations, pilot deployment reports, design analyses, foresight papers, responsible innovation studies, and reviews. Article type should be selected according to the main contribution, not according to desired length or perceived prestige.

Method and Evidence Expectations

For this field, manuscripts should pay particular attention to:

  • technology readiness
  • evaluation setting
  • stakeholder context
  • risk and benefit assessment
  • implementation constraints

Out of Scope

The journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely promotional, lack a research question, duplicate previously published work, make unsupported clinical or policy claims, present unverifiable results, or fall outside emerging and applied technologies. Manuscripts that are technically sound but do not fit the journal's subject identity may be returned before peer review.

Editorial Standard

The journal does not require spectacular novelty. It requires a clear contribution, appropriate citations, transparent methods, relevant ethical approvals where needed, and a limitations section. Reviewers and editors should ask whether the work is trustworthy and useful for its intended readership.
