Aims and Scope

JIPM is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of information science by fostering a collaborative environment for researchers and practitioners. Our core objectives include:

£ Scientific Communication: Facilitating the exchange of ideas between science producers, technologists, and those who apply these advancements in professional settings.

£ Global Visibility: Showcasing Iranian research excellence to the international community while integrating the latest global scientific breakthroughs into the local discourse.

£ Research Archiving: Providing a definitive platform for recording validated research findings, ensuring the long-term preservation of national and international intellectual assets.

£ Knowledge Advancement: Improving the quality of research and professional practice through the introduction of innovative methodologies, standards, and ethical guidelines.

JIPM welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, and case studies that explore the theoretical, philosophical, and practical dimensions of "Information and Knowledge." Our scope spans architecture, algorithms, foresight, and education, organized into five strategic pillars:

1. Information Processing & Infrastructure

£ This pillar focuses on the lifecycle of data management. Topics include:

£ Production, organization, and representation of information.

£ Advanced storage, retrieval, and digital archiving.

£ Evaluation, quality management, and language-processing tools.

 

2. Society, Ethics, and Policy

£ We examine the broader impact of information on human structures, including:

£ Information policy-making, law, and ethics.

£ The economics of the information industry and digital entrepreneurship.

£ Open Access, Open Science, and the monitoring of societal impact.

 

3. Human-Information Interaction (HII)

£ Understanding how people engage with data is central to our mission:

£ Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX/UI).

£ Information-seeking behavior and digital literacy.

£ Cognitive aspects of information processing and mental models.

 

4. Advanced Technology & Intelligent Systems

£ We prioritize research on the technological drivers of the modern era:

£ Artificial Intelligence: Intelligent recommender systems and knowledge discovery.

£ Emerging Tech: Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, and Cloud Computing.

£ Data Science: Big Data analysis, content management, and semantic web architectures.

 

5. Interdisciplinary Frontiers

JIPM remains adaptive, welcoming research on new technologies and unconventional topics—such as the legal reflections on brain-chip implants or the role of ICT in "Future-Smart Cities"—that push the boundaries of traditional information management.
