About the UJMPPS

The Ugandan Journal of Management and Public Policy Studies is a multidisciplinary high-quality, open access and double-blind peer-reviewed research journal published by Uganda Management Institute (UMI). The Journal aims to provide an in-depth analysis of developments in public administration, business, management, leadership and public policy as they apply to the public, business firms, private and not-for-profit sectors. The UJMPPS also accepts original theoretical and empirical research papers, literature reviews, book reviews, case studies, analytical and simulation models, and technical notes from researchers, academics, practitioners, professionals, and students worldwide. The UJMPPS has been available in print format with an ISSN of 2078-7049 since 2009. Recently, the journal obtained an online ISSN of 2959-4316; therefore, all upcoming journal issues will be accessible in both print and online formats. The UJMPPS does not charge authors Article Processing Charge (APC) for any of the submissions we receive as we believe quality research should be freely accessible to everyone without any financial barriers.
