Innovation-the European Journal of Social Science Research

期刊简介：Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research is a social science journal on innovation, change, and transformation of organisations, institutions, and societies at large. It combines analytical and descriptive rigour with an attempt to provide and discuss solutions, visions, roadmaps as well as threat scenarios and dystopias. We consider this combination of hermeneutical analysis and application of deconstruction and construction as the cornerstone of the journal, which is open for all social and cultural sciences. The journal is not focusing on Europe alone but publishes articles on all parts of the world. However, authors, which submit manuscripts on non-European regions, are encouraged to include a comparative chapter or paragraph with a European region, Europe at large or highlight the relevance of their research results for said regions, as we see the journal as a developer of solutions to further European integration. European integration and enlargement pose fundamental challenges for policy, politics, citizenship, culture, and democracy. Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research provides a unique forum for discussing these processes. It welcomes articles on all aspects of European developments that contribute to the improvement of social science knowledge and the setting of a policy-focused European research agenda. This does not exclude theoretical reflections. For as we know: “There is nothing more practical than a good theory” (Kurt Lewin) Our aim is to develop societal innovations , contribute to methodological innovations in the social sciences and to create solutions for Europe . We welcome articles that can be included in the following categories: Analyses • Public Policy Analysis • Polity Analysis and Multilevel Governance • Institutional Analysis from a Societal and Political Perspective Tools and instruments • Managing Political and Socio-Economic Transformations • Scenarios and Strategic Planning Topics • Democracy and Civil Society • Social Structures and Integration • Social Justice and Inequality • Digital Transformation and the Future of Societies • Sustainability and Ecological Modernisation • Science-Technology-Society Relations While generally open, our non-special issues are bound by thematic foci identified by the responsible editors. This allows to further strengthen the journal’s goal of supporting interdisciplinarity and comparative research perspectives. We expect articles in methodological terms to primarily use qualitative approaches, without excluding quantitative instruments. Besides regular Research Articles , the journal publishes Research Notes and Research Discussions . Research Notes are typically shorter in length than articles (e.g., 1,500-3,000 words) and may involve less conventional outputs and preliminary findings, and methodological questions and concerns of on-going research projects. Research Discussions provide statements to current scientific discussions and theoretical debates (e.g., as a statement or a literature survey). In all formats, scientific standards have to be observed. The language of the journal is English only. Please make sure to indicate which category your contribution shall be attributed to.

【译文】创新：《欧洲社会科学研究杂志》是一本关于组织、机构和社会的创新、变革和转型的社会科学杂志。它结合了严谨的分析和描述，试图提供和讨论解决方案、愿景、路线图以及威胁场景和反乌托邦。我们认为解释学分析与解构与建构的应用的结合是该期刊向所有社会和文化科学开放的基石。该杂志不仅关注欧洲，还发表关于世界各地的文章。然而，我们鼓励提交有关非欧洲地区的稿件的作者加入与欧洲地区、整个欧洲进行比较的章节或段落，或强调其研究成果与所述地区的相关性，因为我们认为该期刊是进一步欧洲一体化解决方案的开发者。欧洲一体化和东扩给政策、政治、公民、文化和民主带来了根本性挑战。创新：《欧洲社会科学研究杂志》为讨论这些过程提供了一个独特的论坛。它欢迎有关欧洲发展各个方面的文章，这些文章有助于提高社会科学知识和制定以政策为重点的欧洲研究议程。这并不排除理论上的反思。众所周知：“没有什么比好的理论更实用的了”（Kurt Lewin）我们的目标是发展社会创新，为社会科学的方法论创新做出贡献，并为欧洲创造解决方案。我们欢迎以下类别的文章： 分析 • 公共政策分析 • 政体分析和多层次治理 • 从社会和政治角度进行制度分析 工具和手段 • 管理政治和社会经济转型 • 情景和战略规划主题 • 民主和公民社会 • 社会结构和一体化 • 社会正义和不平等 • 数字化转型和社会的未来 • 可持续性和生态现代化 •科学-技术-社会关系 虽然总体上是开放的，但我们的非特殊问题受到责任编辑确定的主题焦点的约束。这可以进一步加强该期刊支持跨学科和比较研究观点的目标。我们希望方法论方面的文章主要使用定性方法，而不排除定量工具。除了常规的研究文章外，该期刊还出版研究笔记和研究讨论。研究笔记的长度通常比文章短（例如 1,500-3,000 字），并且可能涉及较少的常规成果和初步发现，以及正在进行的研究项目的方法论问题和关注点。研究讨论提供当前科学讨论和理论辩论的陈述（例如，作为陈述或文献调查）。在所有形式中，都必须遵守科学标准。该期刊的语言仅为英语。请务必注明您的贡献属于哪个类别。
