Intangible Capital is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes theoretical, empirical, and methodological research advancing the understanding of how intangible resources —such as knowledge, innovation, intellectual capital, and strategic capabilities— create value and transform organizations and society. The journal promotes interdisciplinary dialogue across management, economics, innovation, and public administration, with particular interest in studies on the governance and valuation of intangibles, knowledge creation and diffusion, and the alignment between digital transformation and innovation-driven growth.
News: Update of Author Guidelines and Submission Template
The Intangible Capital (IC) is pleased to announce several updates to its author guidelines and manuscript preparation requirements. These changes aim to improve transparency, align the journal with current international academic standards, and facilitate consistency in manuscript submission and publication. Updated Manuscript Template A new manuscript template has been introduced and must be used for all new submissions. Authors are required to prepare their manuscripts using this updated template before submitting their articles to the journal. The template standardizes the structure of the manuscript and provides detailed guidance on formatting sections, headings, tables, figures, equations, and references. Adoption of APA 7th Edition Referencing Style JIEM has adopted the APA 7th edition (American Psychological Association) citation and referencing style, replacing the previously used APA 5th edition. Authors must ensure that both in-text citations and reference lists comply with the APA 7 guidelines. The updated template includes practical guidance and examples covering: In-text citations for one, two, and multiple authors Use of et al. from the first citation for works with three or more authors Formatting of direct quotations and block quotations Citation of works without authors Multiple works cited together and works by the same author in the same year Formatting of reference lists with alphabetical order and hanging indentation The template also provides examples for a wide range of reference types, including: Journal articles (with and without DOI) Books and book chapters Conference papers Doctoral dissertations Organizational reports Datasets and preprints Webpages and social media posts Videos, podcasts, and government documents In accordance with APA 7 recommendations, DOIs must be presented as active URLs (https://doi.org/...), and the reference list may include up to 20 authors before using an ellipsis. New Mandatory Transparency Statements To strengthen research transparency and integrity, several new sections must now be included at the end of all manuscripts: Authors’ Contributions For articles with multiple authors, the specific contribution of each author must be indicated using standardized contribution roles based on the CRediT taxonomy. Data Availability Statement Authors must specify the availability of the data supporting the findings of the study. The template provides several options, including public repository availability, inclusion within the article or supplementary materials, availability upon request, or restrictions due to ethical or legal reasons. Use of Artificial Intelligence Authors must disclose any use of artificial intelligence tools in the preparation of the manuscript, including writing, data analysis, or generation of figures or other materials. The journal requires the honest and responsible use of research tools. The generation and dissemination of synthetic data, text, or graphics without proper disclosure is considered inappropriate practice. When such materials are generated through code, the code necessary to replicate the results must be provided as an appendix or supplementary material. Authors are encouraged to carefully review the new template and updated guidelines before preparing their manuscripts. These updates reflect IC’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards of academic quality, transparency, and research integrity.
News: New Focus and Scope of Intangible Capital
Focus and Scope The journal focuses on the pivotal role of intangible resources as engines of value creation and transformation across organizations, public services, and society. It welcomes theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions that deepen understanding of how knowledge, innovation, research and development (R&D), intellectual and relational capital, learning processes, and strategic capabilities drive organizational performance, competitiveness, and societal impact. We are especially interested in research addressing the creation, transmission, and diffusion of knowledge; the management, valuation, and governance of intangible assets; and the design of strategies and policies that foster innovation ecosystems. Particular attention is given to studies exploring the governance of public services and institutions—such as universities, healthcare systems, and local administrations—examining how they leverage intangible resources to improve service delivery, accountability, and citizen engagement. The journal also welcomes contributions that investigate the strategic alignment between intangible resources, digital transformation, and innovation-led growth, as well as their implications for science, technology, and innovation policy. By promoting interdisciplinary dialogue across management, strategy, economics, innovation studies, public administration, and information systems, the journal aims to advance scholarly insight and practical guidance for navigating the challenges of a knowledge-driven and service-oriented economy. Intangible Capital publishes scholarly articles that either challenge existing theories or contribute to the development of new theoretical frameworks. Submissions may employ confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) research methodologies. The journal also welcomes theoretical essays that advance or expand existing conceptual approaches. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process, in line with the standards of high-quality academic journals. The journal publishes three regular issues per year and follows an open access policy, ensuring that all articles are freely available to the public. Online publication helps reduce costs and accelerate the review and editorial process. Intangible Capital strongly supports open access publishing as a means to promote the advancement of scientific knowledge by making research results accessible to everyone. Articles are published in English (mandatory) and optionally in Spanish and Catalan.
From the March 15, 2021, PhD. Jasmina Berbegal-Mirabent will become the new editor-in-chief of the journal. Progressively the editorial team and editorial board of the journal will be expanded. With this, it is intended to give greater agility in the revision and publication process of the papers and increase the scientific quality of the journal. The journal has currently been published for eighteen years without interruption and we take the opportunity to thank all those who have made it possible such as editors, reviewers and also authors who have participated in an article over the years.

Journal Scholar Metrics is a bibliometric tool that seeks to measure the performance of Art, Humanities, and Social Science journals by counting the number of bibliographic citations their articles have received according to Google Scholar. In keeping with the research line the EC3 Research Group began a few years ago, aimed at unravelling the inner depths of Google Scholar and testing its capabilities as a tool for scientific evaluation, the goal of this product is to identify the subset of journals indexed in Google Scholar Metrics (GSM) dedicated to any field of study which falls within the scope of the Humanities or the Social Sciences, and to offer an array of basic citation-based indicators for these journals. GSM mainly covers scientific journals (~95% of the sources). The rest of the sources are conference proceedings (mostly from Computer Science and Engineering), and collections in repositories (i.e. arXiv, SSRN). Only journals, conference proceedings, or repository collections which have published at least 100 papers in the last five complete years and received at least one citation are included in this product. There are two bibliometric indicators computed for every journal: the H5-index (h-index computed from the citations to documents published in the last five years) and the H5-median (median of the citation counts in the documents that contribute to the H5-index).
The REDIB is a platform for aggregating scientific and academic content in electronic formats produced in the Ibero-American space. The REDIB has a clear purpose: promoting technological innovation in publishing-output tools. These provide access to, and facilitate the dissemination and implementation of scientific work done in the countries where it operates, particularly in the various languages belonging to them. The recipients of this information are both the academic community and society at large, as well as those responsible for scientific policy, and those who put it into practice and analyse it. The Internet ensures this information has global reach.

II Conference on Business Servitization Granada (Spain), 7 and 8 November 2013. Conference web: https://www.servitization.org EL PAPEL DE LOS RECURSOS INTANGIBLES BAJO LA LÓGICA DOMINANTE DE LA GESTION DE SERVICIOS Gest editors: Ferran Vendrell (Universitat Politècnica de Cataluya), Oscar F. Bustinza (Universidad de Granada) & Daniel Arias Aranda (Universidad de Granada). The fact that the provision of services generates higher margins than manufacturing has increased the incorporation of services in the portfolio of firms (Wise & Baumgartner, 1999). This process receives the name of Servitization (Vandermerwe and Rada, 1998), affecting a wide range of firms (Neely, 2008), from technology companies (Eggert et al., 2011) to creative ones (Parry et al., 2012 ). According to the dominant logic in service management, consumer participation in the process involves a shift in the paradigm: from a goods transaction premise to an exchange of intangible resources (Vargo and Lusch, 2004). Learning and continuous adaptation to consumer needs are produced through the exchange of information and experience. The competitive advantages arising from the management of services are frequently more sustainable over time because they are based on intangibles; which hinders the competitor’s ability to imitate (Heskett et al., 2003). However, consumer participation in the service is in itself a source of uncertainty (Giannakis, 2011), which requires coordination mechanisms (Larsson and Bowen, 1989). This special issue in Intangible Capital is focused on analyzing the following issues concerning the relationship between the dominant logic of service management and the role of intangible resources: Conceptualization of the main relevant dimensions in the servitizacion process and changes in business models. Design and engineering of product-service systems (PSS) Planning timing of the service incorporation in the product life cycle Managing innovation and service operations in PSS Analyze supply chain and production systems in the context of service management Open Innovation Strategies in PSS Service Operations Management The link between intangible resources, services and global strategies Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the link between intangible resource management and performance of service operations Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the role of consumers in servitizacion processes and their impact on business performance. Papers on related issues not explicitly listed above are also welcome. All submitted manuscripts must follow journal guidelines and be written in Spanish.

Eight years of Intangible Capital: The challenge of its financing
In early May it will be eight years since we editing Intangible Capital as an open access journal. We cannot hide our satisfaction for being pioneers in editing open access journals. The result of the efforts made by everyone (editors, reviewers and authors) make us proud. Effort that has allowed us to grow, but without losing the initial values, and specific goals that have marked the journal's editorial line, which distinguish it from other journals in the same area. Among them, we highlight our special orientation toward and attention to new writers and their first investigations or theoretical developments. Within this growth, we are proud of announce, as we anticipated this year, our partnership with OmniaScience, which will contribute significantly to improving the quality of the journal. This collaboration enables publishers to focus only on scientific aspects, thus gaining a greater ability to cope with the increasing number of manuscripts received. We are not exempt from the effects of drastic budget cuts in research in our country, widely criticized by the international scientific community. And the journal funding was not an easy issue since its inception. Our effort has focused on maintaining the journal open access under any circumstances, and to achieve the desired income in creative ways. However, for many years we have failed in that creativity, falling editorial costs in publishers’ own pockets. Given the difficulty of finding private or public funding, most open access journals are opting to follow the author payment system. Obviously it is not the system we like most because it can be considered unfair, since does not take into account the economic situation of each country and researcher. This type of model is most widespread in areas of medicine, where the fees passed to authors are quite high. It is worth mentioning, though, that the vast majority of researchers of these areas have significant public or private resources to fund their research. In this case, the resources of the author payment do not come from the authors' own pockets, but from the public and private financing institutions. In this case, the author payment is grounded on the institutions that provide researchers funding and legitimacy. But we do not forget that there is another side of the coin. We realize that not all researchers have adequate financial resources to conduct and publish research and that many of them fund it from their own pockets. We can say that from our experience, because for years we have experienced this situation ourselves. And we do not forget also that a unfavourable socio-economic situation in most countries and the exchange rates can make unaffordable a system of fixed fees of payment per article. Analyzed the pros and cons of an author payment financing model, and considering the funding needs of the journal, we believe that the most fair model is an intermediate author payment system based on free donation. Instead of setting a fixed price per item we will accept donations by authors. From a practical standpoint, submitting articles for review to the journal will remain free, but if the article is accepted we will request a financial donation from the authors, consistent with the economic possibilities of researchers. Therefore donations are accepted from 1.00 € (valid for all articles submitted subsequent to April 30th.). Finally, responding in advance to possible criticism, we want to make it clear that the scientific and editorial team of the journal will continue working on the same line as it always has, with rigour and effort, irrespective of grants for researchers who wish to publish in Intangible Capital.

Special Issue: Qualitative Research in Social Sciences
Special Issue on: Qualitative Research in Social Sciences Area/Field: Social Sciences Guest Editor Name: Ercilia García-Álvarez Affiliation: Universitat Rovira I Virgili de Tarragona E-mail: mariaercilia.garcia@urv.cat Name: Jordi López-Sintas Affiliation: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona E-mail: jordi.lopez@uab.es Languages: English, Castellano, Català Description about the Special Issue: Qualitative research traditions (e.g. discourse analysis, ethnography, grounded theory, mix methods, thematic analysis, case analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis…) have a healthy provenance in some disciplines of social science and the arts, but have been neglected in others. The combining of ontologies and epistemologies (positivist, interpretative, postmodern) jointly with research traditions gives rise to both benefits and creative tensions, as well as promotes the debate about the nature of knowledge that qualitative research produces. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an international forum within which the disparate array of questions that arise about a pluralistic approach to qualitative research can foster a cross fertilization of research methods in the social sciences. We invite contributions from researchers working with any qualitative research methods that treat social issues in organizational contexts (health, psychology, organization, management, sociology, politics, consumption, education, arts, and humanities). We are interested in submissions that address a range of ontological, epistemological and practical issues in pluralistic qualitative research in the social sciences including, but not limited to, substantive contributions as well as methodological. Subject Coverage: Research on social issues in organizational contexts (health, psychology, organization, management, sociology, politics, consumption, education, arts, and humanities) framed in any of the qualitative traditions of enquiry Authors’ guideline: Authors should follow the guidelines of the Intangible Capital. The normal refereeing standards will apply. Our intention is to engage in a constructive dialogue with authors so that the final product will reflect the highest standards for research work in the topic of this special issue. The guest editors will be happy to answer any questions from potential authors.
