Abstract
The International Journal of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Technology Management (Technovation) celebrates its
25th anniversary this year, and it does so holding a prominent position within the field of technological innovation management,
although not in entrepreneurship, and as part of the Science Edition of the Journal Citation Reports drawn up by the Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI). Our goal in this paper is to characterise the journal, analysing how its development has helped it to reach
such a position. The sources of information we have used are: the journal itself, the ISI and the Emerald Group Publishing Limited. The
information drawn from Emerald has enabled us to characterise the review, its orientation, style, originality and readability. With the
information from the journal itself as well as the ISI, we have tried to show how the journal has evolved, not only globally but also in
certain specific questions (thematic profile, impact publications and authorship of papers). Finally, ment on the results and draw
certain conclusions in addition to opportunities for the journal.
