Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions
Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions (EIST) is the leading journal for studies of innovations and socio-economic transitions. The goal is to enhance an environmentally sustainable economy and thus solve structural resource scarcity and environmental problems, notably related to fossil energy use and climate change. This involves attention for technological, organizational, economic, institutional and political innovations as well as economy-wide and sector changes, such as in the areas of energy, transport, agriculture and water management.
The journal aims to tackle the most difficult questions, dealing with social, economic, behavioral-psychological and political barriers and opportunities as well as their complex interaction. The journal is multidisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, and invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines within the social, environmental and innovation sciences.
EIST has a 13.6 Cite Score and a 5.7 Impact Factor.
