Focus and Scope

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to advance knowledge engineering, global information architectures, and systemic data integration, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, computational system evaluations, and empirical case studies within the following thematic areas:

Knowledge Engineering, Ontologies & Semantic Web: Knowledge representation frameworks, ontology engineering, semantic data integration, enterprise knowledge graphs, and Linked Open Data (LOD) systems.

Global Information Systems & Digital Architecture: Cross-border data infrastructure, cloud-native knowledge repositories, enterprise content management (ECM), and interoperable information architectures.

AI-Driven Knowledge Systems & Decision Intelligence: Integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) with knowledge bases, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, expert systems, and automated reasoning tools.

Organizational Knowledge Management & Learning Systems: Institutional memory preservation, cross-organizational knowledge sharing, tacit-to-explicit knowledge conversion models, and collaborative knowledge ecosystems.

Knowledge Governance, Data Sovereignty & Information Ethics: Cross-border data policy, privacy-preserving knowledge sharing, intellectual property in digital knowledge bases, and global knowledge equity.

Publication Frequency
To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and the timely dissemination of knowledge systems research, IJGKS is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on generative AI integration with knowledge graphs, sovereign data space architectures, or cross-border knowledge management may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.
