''Research-Technology Management'' (''RTM'') is an award-winning journal published by the Industrial Research Institute (IRI). It publishes peer-reviewed, research-based articles and personal perspective pieces written by and for R&D practitioners. Published bimonthly, the journal is offered both in print and electronically to subscribers interested in the management of innovation. IRI members receive a complimentary annual subscription as a benefit of membership. Oversight of ''RTM'' is handled by an appointed Board of Editors, led by the Editor-in-Chief; the Managing Editor handles day-to-day operations. ==History== ''RTM'' was initially launched as ''Research Management (RM)'' in the spring of 1958;〔(WorldCat Online Library Resource: ''Research Management'' ), accessed Feb. 17, 2012.〕 its mission was to serve as the vehicle for dissemination of information on techniques of organization, administration, and operation of industrial research.〔Burrill, Charles. ''Research Management'', Interscience Publishers, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Spring 1958), p. 3.〕 According to Charles Burrill, the first chairman of the Board of Editors for ''RM'', “Why another publication? Because there has been no one place to turn for the latest ideas regarding research management discussions from the research administrator’s point of view.”〔Burrill, Charles. ''Research Management'', Interscience Publishers, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Spring 1958), p. 3.〕 ''RM'' was published quarterly, in digest format, averaging 64 pages per issue. In 1962, the quarterly schedule was upgraded to a bimonthly publication schedule in response to heightened demand and increased research output from IRI membership. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, new editorial features and departments were added, including “Perspectives,” “Information Resources,” and “Managers at Work.” “The Human Side,” now a regular column, appeared as a Q&A exploring difficult scenarios in managing human resources for R&D. In 1982, IRI began presenting the Maurice Holland Award for the best paper published in ''RM'' during the previous year. In 1985, ''RM'' began publishing the ''R&D Trends Forecast'', which summarized the data collected during IRI’s annual survey of its member companies’ spending expectations for the coming year. The article continues to be published in the first issue of ''RTM'' each year. In 1988, as part of a redesign marking the journal’s thirtieth anniversary, ''Research Management'' was renamed ''Research-Technology Management (RTM)''. ''RTM'' retained ''RM’s'' focus on practitioner-oriented articles, pursuing IRI’s mission of “enhancing technological innovation in industry.”〔(Industrial Research Institute, Inc. ), accessed Feb. 17, 2012.〕 Authors are generally respected R&D experts in well-known organizations, with some representation of academic researchers. ''RTM'' has been offered electronically since 2001 via Ingenta, with issues as far back as the November–December issue of 1998 available.〔(IngentaConnect Publications: RTM ), accessed Feb. 17, 2012.〕 In 2007, the journal became available on iTunes. In 2011, the journal underwent a redesign; the new layout was unveiled in the January–February 2012 issue—marking the beginning of ''RTM’s'' 55th year of publication.〔("A Fresh Look for Research-Technology Management" ), ''International Association for Management of Technology'', January 6, 2012, accessed Feb. 17, 2012.〕 Past Editors * 1958-1959, Charles M.
