Inaugural Editorial: Experimentation in Innovation Studies

The purpose of the new on-line journal, CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation, is to provide an open platform and a data depository for the socio-economic innovation research. CIJ is interested in the social dimensions of experimentation in innovation. In particular, CIJ aims at increasing our understanding of what, how, why, when, and where people innovate, what, how, why, when, and where innovations are created, adopted, used, modified, and discarded and how innovations are managed, directed, governed, or influenced.
