            This issue of the Independent Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a selection of articles submitted and revised until March 2018. 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.

And our journal has obtained the classification B2 in five areas of interest, which represents the recognition of the international scientific community regarding our work. We hope to achieve in this year 2018 the indexation in the Web of Science database and to start the evaluation process with SCOPUS.
