The Iranian Journal of Information Processing and Management (JIPM) is a leading peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to the advancement of information science and technology. With a history dating back to September 1972, the journal began its journey as the “IRANDOC Technical Bulletin.” Over five decades, it evolved alongside the digital revolution, transitioning through titles such as “Information Science Quarterly” before adopting its current identity in 2011. Managed by the Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc), JIPM serves as a primary record of the evolution of information management within Iran and abroad, bridging the gap between historical documentation and contemporary digital scholarship.
JIPM provides a robust platform for researchers, technologists, and innovators to share original research, reviews, and case studies. The journal’s multidisciplinary scope encompasses the entire lifecycle of information—from processing and organization to human-machine interaction and the socio-economic impacts of the information society. By covering cutting-edge topics such as Big Data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence, JIPM fosters a high-level scientific dialogue that addresses the complexities of modern knowledge management and the legal and ethical frameworks governing digital information.
As an Electronic Open Access quarterly, JIPM is committed to the principles of Open Science, ensuring that its high-quality scholarly content is freely accessible to the global community without barriers. The journal maintains rigorous standards through a double-blind peer-review process, typically providing initial decisions within two weeks. Indexed in prestigious databases such as Scopus, ISC, EBSCO, and DOAJ, JIPM actively works to increase the visibility of Iranian research while integrating global scientific findings. Our mission is to promote knowledge sharing, support evidence-based policymaking, and introduce world-class innovators to the international scientific stage.
