Abstract: The new editorial commentary of the International Journal of Innovation (IJI) reflects on the strategic role of scientific and associate editors. The text highlights that their work goes far beyond manuscript screening: it involves ensuring fairness in the editorial process, supporting the academic development of researchers, planning special issues, and contributing to the journal’s governance. Taking on the role of scientific and associate editor at IJI means developing essential skills, expanding collaboration networks, strengthening the legitimacy of editorial decisions, and investing in future academic leadership. The future of IJI depends on an editorial body capable of combining rigor, fairness, and ambition in the publication of useful and impactful knowledge.
