From the Desk of
Editor in Chief
Dear Readers!
Happy New Year to all readers. I am pleased to share with you the Vol. 5 and Issue # 2021.
The editorial board of IJIMS is continuous trying to enhance the quality of the journal. The IJIMS has been indexed more than 10 renowned indexing agencies of the world. Detail of the indexing can be viewed through the link http://ijims.org/index.php/IJIMS/Indexing
IJIMS is not only getting popularity among the Pakistani LIS scholars but also it is also attracting international researchers. To know the similarity index of the manuscripts, all documents have been checked through the plagiarism software named Turnitin and then the process of double-blind peer review has been done. The sole purpose of these activities is to enhance the quality of the journal. The editorial board had received nine articles for this issue but only four articles were selected which were recommended by external reviewers.
I am very much grateful to all the editorial members of IJIMS who have worked hard to make this journal in its final shape. I also would like to pay thanks to those who have served as reviewers for IJIMS and sent their feedback well in time which was necessary to develop and publish high-quality material. Thanks to the Patron of IJIMS, and President of Pakistan Librarians Welfare Organization (PLWO) for their support and guidance. Finally, I want to thank all the authors of manuscripts who submitted their papers for publication in IJIMS.
We look forward to working with all of you as we continue to make the International Journal of Information Management Sciences (IJIMS) highly productive and quality conscious. We welcome your submissions, concerns, expert feedback, suggestions, recommendations, and comments for the further improvement of the journal.
