Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

The advances in distributed computing and networks make it possible to link people, heterogeneous service providers and physically isolated services efficiently and cost-effectively. As the economic dynamics and the complexity of service operations continue to increase, it becomes a critical challenge to leverage information technology in achieving world-class quality and productivity in the production and delivery of physical goods and services.

The IJSOI, a fully refereed journal, provides the primary forum for both academic and industry researchers and practitioners to propose and foster discussion on state-of-the-art research and development in the areas of service operations and the role of informatics towards improving their efficiency and competitiveness.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of the IJSOI are:

  • to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the science and technology of service operations and information technology and
  • to promote research and practice of new strategies, operations, and technologies for realising competitive advantages of both service providers and enablers around the world

The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating service globalisation and technological change and changes in the global economy. IJSOI will publish high quality papers in all areas of service design, operations, and management; service process engineering; event management; production; integrated logistics and supply chain networks; productivity and quality management; and communications and information systems. Ultimately, the presented empirical results, discovered science and technology in the areas of service operations and informatics can be effectively disseminated in academia and explained to policy makers, practicing professionals and managers.

 Go Top  Readership

IJSOI is a forum to help researchers, professionals, business analysts, managers, and policy makers, working in the field of service operations and information technology, to exchange their learning and disseminate their findings of the science and technology in the areas of service operations and information technology.
