Official statement regarding website cloning from the International Journal of Innovation Studies
Published 25 July, 2024
The International Journal of Innovation Studies (IJIS, ISSN 2096-2487/ CN 10-1440/G3) is a premier multidisciplinary journal in the field of innovation studies. It is supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointly organized by China Science Publishing & Media Ltd. and Tsinghua University, publishing services by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of KeAi Communications Co. Ltd.
Since its establishment in 2017, IJIS has been disseminating high-quality research through its quarterly open-access issues available globally. Currently, IJIS does not charge any publication fees.
IJIS publishes pioneering research across a range of disciplines, including economics, management, sociology, philosophy, natural sciences, engineering sciences, psychology and public policy. All submissions are subjected to a rigorous peer-review process, and only manuscripts in English are considered.
It has come to our attention that a fraudulent website is impersonating the official IJIS website and has established an unauthorized manuscript submission and review system. This fraudulent activity is severely damaging to the reputation of IJIS, infringes on the rights of authors, undermines the trust of our readers and contributors, and has caused significant negative impact to both the research community and society. We urge all readers and authors to verify the authenticity of any IJIS-related website.
