Guidelines for Author

KIIT Journal of Library and Information Management (KJLIM) seeks to receive manuscripts with the understanding that they have not been previously published in or submitted to other journals. These Authors Guidelines are published to help authors to prepare and submit articles to a standard format that will be accepted by KJLIM.

Review Process: Manuscripts are acknowledged by e-mail to the corresponding authors upon their receipt. The manuscript is read and examined for conformity to the Authors Guidelines by one of the editors. The editor calls upon qualified reviewers to evaluate the submitted article. After this evaluation process, the editor receives the comments from the peer reviewers regarding the suitability of the submission and the editorial decision is communicated to the corresponding author.

The Editorial Board reserves all the rights to accept, alter or reject the articles without any prior intimation. The Editorial Board accepts no responsibility of the statements and opinions expressed by the contributors.
