JIPE accepts submissions via two intake paths: general issues and special issues.

General Issue

Submissions for the general issue are always open. Articles in this workflow are published online as they are accepted. Twice a year, we collect these articles and publish them as part of a General Issue.

Benefits of Rolling Submissions

Accepting and publishing journal articles on a rolling basis offers many benefits. Authors may submit at any time during the year and avail themselves of the opportunity to have their research and knowledge disseminated in a timely manner. JIPE is adapting to the digital publishing sphere to meet the needs of seasoned and emerging researchers.

Some of the benefits include:

• Knowledge is disseminated in a timely manner to meet the needs of researchers.
• Submissions are more likely to appear in search results if published up to date and in a timely manner.
• Research impact indicators are evolving to focus more on articles/manuscript rather than journals.
• Work backlog is reduced for the editorial team and the reviewers.

Special Issue

Every year, JIPE issues a Call for Papers (CFP) for an annual Special Issues, with details available on our website under the Announcements section. Special Issues are published once all the papers are received and accepted. If the required minimum of five submissions for a Special Issue is not met, JIPE reserves the right to publish the articles in a General Issue or postpone the Special Issue’s publication until the requisite number of submissions is reached.

As part of Humber Polytechnic's sustainability plan, JIPE will only be published digitally to reduce paper consumption.
