IJIMS: Intervia Journal of Integrated Multidisciplinary Studies is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research that transcends traditional academic silos. Positioned at the dynamic intersection of the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and applied technologies, the journal serves as a premier scholarly forum for global researchers, innovators, and policymakers who employ cross-disciplinary frameworks. IJIMS prioritizes holistic structural analyses, rigorous mixed-methods investigations, and integrated solutions that address the complex, multifaceted challenges of the modern world. By bridging distinct academic disciplines into cohesive, actionable insights, the journal fosters a deeper understanding of how integrated methodologies can optimize human welfare, drive technological advancement, and ensure global sustainability.

Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical reviews, and conceptual papers that offer significant contributions through the integration of two or more distinct disciplines. Thematic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Integrated Science & Technology: The convergence of artificial intelligence with biosciences, engineering solutions for medical applications, and the socio-technical impacts of emerging technologies.

  • Social Sciences, Economics & Public Policy: Behavioral economics, the sociology of digital transformation, global governance, sustainable economic models, and socio-legal frameworks.

  • Environmental Studies & Sustainable Development: Multi-scalar approaches to climate change resilience, circular economy architectures, political ecology, and environmental engineering.

  • Health, Medicine & Social Welfare: Public health epidemiology, bioethics, the intersection of mental health and socio-economic disparities, and healthcare management systems.

  • Humanities, Education & Cultural Dynamics: Educational technology innovations, digital humanities, cross-cultural communication studies, and the evolution of human identity in a globalized society.

Publication Frequency

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of cutting-edge interdisciplinary research, IJIMS is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent global crises (e.g., pandemics, climate change) or highly disruptive paradigm shifts requiring collaborative, multi-sectoral responses may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process

IJIMS enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and objective evaluation across all represented disciplines.

  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Managing Editor to assess multidisciplinary alignment, methodological soundness, and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.
  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers. Crucially, reviewers are selected from the different scientific fields integrated within the submission to ensure comprehensive validation of all cross-disciplinary claims.
  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, theoretical novelty, and practical impact of the integrated research.

Mission Statement

The mission of IJIMS is to deconstruct academic insularity and catalyze collaborative intelligence within a rapidly changing, hyper-connected global society. Grounded in the philosophy that the complex challenges of the 21st century—from climate change to digital ethics—cannot be solved within isolated scientific domains, the journal aims to democratize advanced knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for multi-sectoral scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and robust methodologies—encompassing quantitative modeling, qualitative ethnography, and mixed-method frameworks—IJIMS seeks to empower boundary-spanning researchers, inspire systemic innovation, and shape future-proof, holistic policies worldwide.
