Editorial Introduction

            This issue of the Independent Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a selection of articles submitted and revised until December 2019. 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.

            Another year begins and a new edition is being launched. New challenges for the year 2020 are being created. In 2019, we had 8 editions, 3 special editions and 5 normal editions. By 2020, we plan to have at least 3 special editions and 6 normal editions.

            But I can say that none of this would be possible if it were not for the colleagues who make up our magazine, because we currently have over 2,500 users and we are present in over 200 countries.

            In 2020, we are adjusting Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, to BY NC SA.
