Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies

About the Journal

Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies (IJIS) is an open-access publication from the Department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Dr Gever Verlumun Celestine founded the journal in 2019. It publishes peer-reviewed, original research and reviews articles in an interactive, open-access format. Also, beginning June 2023, there will be an article processing charge of £750 for accepted manuscripts. There is no submission fee. APC is the journals’ only source of revenue. IJIS does not accept paid advertisements on its website. Beginning from Volume 6 No. 2, IJIS became an international journal. Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies focuses on four areas, namely communication, psychology, sociology as well as management and economy. In the area of communication, the journal covers media and journalism, advertising, public relations, digital technologies, and the impact of digital media on different aspects of scholarship, including research, interpersonal communication, and communication broadly. In the area of psychology, the journal covers both basic and applied psychology. IJIS is interested in basic psychology areas like perception, emotion, learning memory, sensation and motivation. In applied psychology, we are interested in real-world issues, such as clinical psychology, industrial-organisational psychology, educational psychology, and forensic psychology. In sociology, our interest is in human relations and their behaviour. We are interested in the functioning of society, social change, social groups, institutions and their functioning. We are equally interested in cultural normal and social structures. Our interest in sociology also covers social stratification and social inequality, culture and social interaction, deviance and social control, medical sociology, social movements, social and financial institutions, the sociology of family, economic sociology, political sociology, sociology of religion and sociology of education. In the area of management and economy, the journal is interested in a broad spectrum of topics that explore the intersection of human behaviour, organisational dynamics, and economic principles. The journal seeks manuscripts on individuals, organisations, and decision-making processes, efficiency, and performance. The focus is on areas like organisational behaviour, strategic management, micro and macroeconomics, finance, marketing, operations management and entrepreneurship.

Publication Frequency

The journal was previously published annually. However, beginning in 2024, it will be published twice a year. For 2024, the journal's issues will be published in June and August. From 2025 onward, the journal will be published in January and June. The tradition of publishing supplementary articles for issues ended in 2023. Authors are encouraged to bear in mind our publication schedules when revising manuscripts or checking galley proofs. If an article misses a particular issue, the author (s) must wait for the next issue. It is essential to add here that the two issues in a year exclude any special issue. The highest number of special issues that can be published in a year is two. The theme of our special issue can be limited to a geographical area or open to international participation.
