Editorial Introduction

            This issue of the Independent Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a selection of articles submitted and revised until July 2017. Observe the works are the fruit of research and publications of undergraduate, postgraduate and entrepreneurs.

            It is important to mention that all the works are showed without any kind of payment. All of them are published free from payments or taxes.

            The publication also counts on the work of researchers from various parts of the world, which have undergone a process of peer review.

            As chief editor of IJM&P, I am indebted to all members of the editorial board and reviewers, which contributed to achieve a very decent job during the evaluation and revision. Moreover, that they have contributed to the Journal in recognition of the international scientific community.

            In addition, with all the authors, who trusted the results of their research and publications to the scrutiny of editors and reviewers who are part of our Journal.

            Since 2015 we are promoting the dissemination of articles published on LinkedIn Pulse, through Chief Editor account of Professor Dr. Paulo Cesar Chagas Rodrigues.

            In this fourth quarter we had the gratifying news that we were being indexed in Openaire, Dialnet and the new indexing platform of PKP. The system was also successfully upgraded to OJS version 2.4.8-1, which made it possible to correct problems in metadata export via the OAI-PMH protocol.

            For the year 2017 we will be launching the new logo of our journal, as well as resuming the negotiations for indexing with Scopus and the Web of Science.

We have been working to consolidate our partnership with the team that coordinates the international IFLOG congress, which is held at the campus of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo, in the city of Suzano.

In 2017, will have a special edition published in July 2017.
