Aims & Scope

The Interdisciplinary Journal of Information, Knowledge, and Management (IJIKM) publishes scholarly articles on the use of information, knowledge, and information technologies to enhance decision making and organizational performance. Articles with a sound underpinning of principles/theories on information and knowledge management are also welcome. The journal publishes scholarly papers of empirical studies as well as conceptual and theoretical research in these areas. The Interdisciplinary Journal of Information, Knowledge, and Management (IJIKM), double-blind peer reviewed academically, endeavors to provide readers around the world with the widest possible coverage on the use of information, knowledge, and information technologies to create, apply, and communicate knowledge effectively in social and industrial organizations. In addition to manuscripts that center on practices of, and approaches to, information/knowledge acquisition, management, use, and sharing, papers on adoption, development, and use of related technologies are welcome, e.g., agent-based systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, deep/machine learning, and natural language processing. We also welcome manuscripts on a wide range of topics related to the organizational use and management of information, knowledge, and information technologies. IJIKM publishes scholarly papers reporting empirical studies as well as conceptual and theoretical research on the use of information, knowledge, and related technologies to enhance decision making and organizational performance. Submissions to the journal should be readable and understandable by a wide audience. Manuscripts should therefore also focus on practical application or illustration of the issues covered, rather than merely providing a mathematical or technical coverage, which would be more suitable for a specialist journal.
