Editorial Introduction

            This issue of the Independent Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a selection of articles submitted and revised until January 2016. 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.

This attitude has increased the visibility of the research published in our journal and thus increasing the visibility of the authors, in one of the biggest social and business networks.

From this edition on the magazine will show a new thing, which is the availability of articles in HTML format as a way to increase the accessibility to work.        The first table presents how our collaborators, by their categories of study and sex are.
