Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management accepts reviewing scientific articles related to the journal's focus and scope. The contributions must be written in English, and they must be original (not published in another journals or any other media). Along the reviewing process, it is forbidden that the contribution follows a parallel reviewing process in another journal. The articles may be sent in Word 97-2004 (doc), Word 2007 (docx) or Open Office (odt) formats. The journal's editorial team will acknowledge the receipt of originals. In order to follow the formatting instructions, it is strongly recommended to use the journal's templates for contributors, available on doc, docx and odt formats. There is no limit to the length of the contributions. In addition to respecting the template formatting, contribution must comply the following norms:
  • Title (and optionally, subtitle): The title must adequately describe the contribution's content.
  • Authors: Authors must NOT include the author's names or any other information about  them in the paper. Authors should include the author's names, their institutional affiliation and their e-mails in the intranet during the submission process.
  • Abstract: The contribution must include an abstract of no more than 300 words in length, a set of keywords that adequately describe the contribution's contents, and the specialization areas that best fit the contents of the paper.
  • Contribution's structure: The structure of the paper should be the usually accepted in social sciences. Being an empirical research, the paper should include introduction, literature review, sample and methods, discussion and conclusion sections. The references must be listed after the conclusions, and before the appendices, if any.
  • Notes: Footnotes or endnotes will NOT be accepted.
  • Citations: Whenever the authors make reference to another author's ideas or results, they must indicate its origin using the adequate citation. The citations must be writen in text using APA 5th edition style.
  • Thanks: Before the references section, authors can thank to people or institutions that have helped or financed the research presented in the article.
  • Tables and figures: Tables and figures must be correlatively numbered, following their order of appearance in the text. They must include captions that adequately describe the table's or figure's contents, and they should include the source of information used to build the table or figure.
  • Bibliographical references: At the end of the main contents of the document (prior to appendices), authors should include the bibliographical references cited along the text. The references must be written in text using APA 5th edition style.
  • Appendices: If needed, authors can add appendices to the document, that include complementary material useful to other researchers (e.g., questionnaires used in surveys or econometric models). Appendices will be placed after the bibliographical references section, and they must be labelled using capital letters (Appendix A, B, ...), and should have a title descriptive of its contents.
As soon as the paper fits the guidelines for authors, the peer review process will start, following the policies described in the peer review process section. The process ends when the article is accepted or rejected. Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management takes no compromise about dates of publication, and disclaims any responsibility about the contents of the contributions sent to the journal. The journal reserves the right to make modifications to the article's contents, always noticing the authors and respecting their criteria.


Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management does NOT change authors any kind of fees  in any moment.
