"Systematic Innovation" is a set of knowledge/tools/methods which can enable systematic development of innovative problem solving, strategy setting, and/or identification of product/process/service innovation opportunities. IJoSI is a doubly blinded peer review, open access online journal with lag prints which publishes original research articles and reviews in the field of Innovation Methods emphasizing on Systematic Innovation and applications of Artificial Intelligence. The aims of the journal are to publish high-quality scholarly papers with academic rigor in theoretical and practical studies in order to enhance human knowledge/skills in and promote beneficial applications of Innovation Methods, especially Intelligent Innovation Methods and their integration with and applications in the related fields. Readership of the Journal include anyone who is interested in the fields and topics of the Journal.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

I. Strategic & Business Aspects of Innovation Methods:

1. Systematic identification of opportunities and issues in Business Model/ Product/ Process/ Service Innovation.)
