Information Processing & Management is devoted to refereed reporting of:
1. Basic and applied research in information
science, computer science, cognitive science and related areas that deals with: the generation, representation, organization, storage,
retrieval, and use of information; the nature, manifestations, behavior, and effects of information and knowledge; communication and
distribution of information and knowledge; and human information behavior.
2. Experimental and advanced processes related
to: information retrieval (IR); digital libraries; knowledge organization and distribution; digitized contents - text, image, sound and
multimedia processing; and human-computer interfaces in information systems. Implementations in information retrieval systems and a variety
of information systems, networks, and contexts. Related evaluation.
3. Management of information resources, services, systems
and networks, and digital libraries. Related studies of the economics of information and the principles of information management.
The aim is to provide an international forum for advanced works and critical analysis in these interdependent and interdisciplinary areas.
Invited are original papers and critical reviews of trends reporting on: • Progress in the theory, principles, and procedures
in information processing, particularly involving information retrieval; search engines; knowledge and distributed intelligence;
information representation, classification, extraction, filtering and summarization; question answering; information navigation, browsing
and visualization; and human-computer interaction in information systems. • Research on the formal characteristics and properties
of information and knowledge and the associated processes of communication among humans and between humans and machines.
Includes studies of human information needs, seeking, searching, and use; and bibliometric and infometric studies
of the structural and statistical properties of information artifacts. • Modeling and evaluation of information systems
performance, particularly of information retrieval systems, knowledge systems, and digital libraries. Studies of their effectiveness,
efficiency, value, or impact. • Studies in management and economics of information and information systems. Use of
information for decision making and problem solving. • Studies in information policies. Data and issues relevant to
information policies on organizational, national, and international levels. Derivation and use of information indicators.

We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for Information Processing & Management. This 'Elsevier Editorial System' (or EES) is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. This is part of our on-going efforts to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our editorial procedures and the quality and timeliness of the manuscripts published. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to the journal. EES can be accessed at http://ees.elsevier.com/ipm/ (First time users will need to register).
