"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. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, Innovation Methods and the algorithms of artificial intelligence and can be synergistically integrated becoming the integrated dual core scope of the IJoSI. 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. This international journal is dedicated to the field of Intelligent Innovation Methods with integrable dual core bases: The algorithmic aspects of artificial intelligence and the Innovation Methods.
