International Journal of Information Management Science

Abstract

Happy New Year to all readers. I am pleased to share with you Vol. 7 and Issue # 2023.
This year someone hacked the website of IJIMS, and we lost our data. Although we installed firewalls and
other security features but hackers succeeded to get our database. We have uploaded the available backup
but we lost our data particular for the submitted articles during the year 2023. We also lost the information
about submission dates and other review process. We have provided the dates as per best of our
knowledge. Errors and omission are accepted.
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. IJIMS is not only getting popularity among
the Pakistani LIS scholars but also it is also attracting international researchers. IJIMS did not compromise
on the quality of the journal. IJIMS have zero tolerance plagiarism policy and also adopted double blind
peer review policy to enhance the quality of the journal.
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.
