There are approximately 10 million full-time researchers in the world. More or less, they represent a mere 0.1% of the world population. And absolutely all of them spend countless hours trying to do one thing: Innovation. In one way or another, they are all attempting to discover new knowledge or new insights to solve old or new problems or to better understand old or new problems. Sometimes researchers are trying to gain a better understanding of a problem rather than trying to solve it. So, the two key questions are: Why should they care at all about obscure journals? And, What can they do with them to improve their innovation efforts?
