Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in Emerging Economies: a Preliminary Review

Abstract

Interest in responsible research and innovation (RRI) has been increased in recent years in the academic, practical and policy domains. Although initially introduced in Europe and the US, in the subsequent development, attention to RRI grows in another context. The aim of this paper is to provide a preliminary review of the current status of responsible research and innovation (RRI) research, focusing on emerging economy's context. Systematic review method is used for this purpose. The current research on RRI in emerging economies has emerged since 2013, involving multi-disciplinary researchers and has been published in journals from various disciplines. The most discussed dimension is ‘inclusion’ through public engagement in different phase of research and innovation. The dimension of ‘anticipation’ that plays an important role in the early phase of research and innovation has not been much discussed compared to other dimensions.
