Journal of Innovation

Highlighting leadership and developments across information technology and digital transformation

Supply Chains Reimagined — Circular, Smart, and Adaptive

In an era marked by global disruption, digital acceleration, and mounting environmental imperatives, supply chains are undergoing profound transformation at a global scale. This edition of Journal of Innovation (JoI) features original contributions that explore the emerging trends in supply chain design and management – anchored with lessons learned from early real-world pilots and implementation – through the lenses of circularity, intelligent systems, and adaptability at scale.

This issue of the JoI features a diverse collection of articles that address the strategic challenges posed by fluctuating regulatory, economic, and cross-jurisdiction conditions, and how firms can build flexibility into their supply chains in response to such uncertainty.

The edition was peer reviewed by Robert Martin (MITRE Corporation) and by JoI co-chairs Bassam Zarkout and Edy Liongosari.

Journal of Innovation – November 2026 & March 2027

The Role of Knowledge Graphs in the Age of AI

Due to the excellent response to our call for papers on our Knowledge Graph topic, we are excited to publish accepted articles across TWO editions in November 2026 and March 2027. Watch this space!

  • Knowledge Graphs: Foundations for Enterprise AI – November 2026
  • Operationalizing Knowledge Graphs for Trustworthy and Agentic AI – March 2027

As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, institutions, and daily life, the need for structured, explainable, and context-rich knowledge systems has never been greater. In this edition, Journal of Innovation seeks original contributions that examine the growing role of knowledge graphs in enabling more trustworthy, intelligent, and interoperable AI systems—grounded in lessons learned from early real-world deployments and implementation at scale.

Knowledge graphs are emerging as a critical foundation for the next generation of AI, helping connect fragmented and siloed data, support reasoning, improve explainability, and enable more adaptive and context-aware decision-making. From enterprise intelligence and scientific discovery to digital twins, automation, and responsible AI governance, their relevance is expanding rapidly across domains.
