Focus and Scope

The aim of Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that are aimed to contrast and extend existing theories, and build new theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with industrial engineering and industrial management in organizations, from the perspectives of (1) Production, Logistics, Quality, and Operational Research; (2) Information Systems, Technology and Communication;  (3) Industrial Economics and Regional Development; (4) Management, Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources; (5) Finance, Accounting and Marketing; and (6) Education, Training and Professional Skills. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. JIEM selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. JIEM is published six-monthly exclusively on-line, and following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. JIEM defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone.

Peer Review Process

Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management selects its articles following a double blind, peer review process. Once the editorial team has checked that the contribution follows the formatting and content author guidelines, it is sent to two anonymous reviewers with expertise in the field. Grounded on reviewer's recommendations, the editor will communicate the results of the evaluation to the corresponding author. The editor will communicate the overall result of the evaluation (rejected, accepted or accepted with modifications), including the reviewer's comments. If the article has been accepted with modifications, authors should send back to the journal a new version of the article, that will be reviewed again by the same team of reviewers. Moreover, the authors can attach a letter to the editor, which should indicate the modifications made in the article following the editor's and reviewer's comments. If the authors decide not to follow a particular reviewer's instruction, they can expose in the same letter their reasons for not doing so.

 

Publication Frequency

Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management is published two times a year (June and December), on a semestral (six months) basis. The two issues of one year are the two numbers of one volumen. Occasionally, JIEM can publish special issues about specific research themes. These special issues can have specific editors. For these special issues, specific calls for papers will be announced.

 

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
