Comparative Technology Transfer and Society (CTTS) is an academic journal in the field of science and technology studies published by Johns Hopkins University Press and sponsored by the Colorado Institute for Technology Transfer and Implementation.
CTTS is an interdisciplinary & international social science journal. It's intended purpose, according to its editorial mission, is to "link researchers who share an interest in the process, nature, significance, and implications of technology transfer."
The journal offers articles that investigate using the comparative method technological research, engineering, innovation, and design; the role of patents, licenses, and copyrights in technology transfer; entrepreneurship, manufacturing and marketing of new technologies. The journal also encourages an international comparative approach.
The editorial mission notes that the journal is "particularly committed to publishing articles that view technology transfer (defined very broadly to include hardware, software, processes, and organizational change) as a complex social process, considering such issues as the perspectives of non-Western users, consumers, and original producers of transferred technology; the social and ethical implications of transfer activities; or studies of failures and successes alike."
