About the Journal

The International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM) publishes research and practice-based contributions on the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of interactive mobile technologies. The journal provides a forum for the exchange of current trends, research findings, and practical experience in the use of mobile and wireless technologies across education, training, industry, and other applied settings.

iJIM particularly welcomes work that examines how interactive mobile technologies support learning and teaching, learner engagement, communication, access, and innovation in digital environments. At the same time, the journal remains open to broader technical and applied contributions on mobile systems, services, infrastructures, and applications with clear scholarly or practical relevance.

The journal aims to bridge rigorous academic research and well-documented applied work by publishing studies that contribute to both understanding and practice in the field of interactive mobile technologies.

Focus and Scope

  • social, organisational, and educational impact of current and emerging mobile technologies
  • implementation studies, pilot projects, and evidence-based case studies

Screening for Plagiarism/Similarity

All submissions are checked for plagiarism using iThenticate before they undergo the peer-review process.

Peer Review Process

The submitted papers should be original, unpublished, and not in consideration for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to this journal.

After an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief, all paper submissions accepted for review will be refereed in a double-blind review process by at least two international reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.

The author then submits a revised version of the submission (that takes into account the reviewers' comments) to a second review round. The revised version is refereed again by the same experts who then give a recommendation: accept, decline or request revisions.

The responsible editor takes the final decision and either accepts or declines the submission, or they request revisions again which makes the revised version undergo another review round.
