Social Science Research is an intellectual and systematic investigation of issue/problems/concerns to create new knowledge and perspectives about the phenomenon under investigation. In fact, universities are the centres for intellectual discourses and research excellence.
This Research Policy is serving as a guideline to stimulate a research culture at IUM and to help this university to be on par with other research universities in the world.
Substantial educational achievement at IUM should be supported and accommodated by scholarly research and their publication. During the first years of its establishment, research was not one of the priorities of IUM.
But as the university started to enrol graduate students, the need to strengthen the research awareness and capacity of IUM academic staff became imperative. The need for a Research Policy and Strategy was recognized as an essential element to guide research activities at IUM.
It was also felt that developing a strong research culture at IUM will further enhance the reputation and recognition of the university.
Review of the Maiden Copy of the Namibia Journal of Managerial Science (NJMS)
By: Dr. Tjingaete and published in New Era
This maiden copy covered a spectrum of topics that are enticing to a social scientist who wants
to appreciate the progress that African scholars have made in critiquing their own society, from the African point of view.
For a first journal of its kind in Namibia, the glossy cover is not only eye-friendly but the smell of its newness is enticing to open it.
The cliché that you should not judge the book by its cover holds true for this journal.

Survey to determine opinions on how to strengthen research at IUM
This report is based on information obtained from IUM academics through a survey questionnaire administered through their e-mails.
IUM has developed a research policy that is already in place to guide research activities at IUM. Having this policy is an indication of the commitment to which the University is to research as a tool of academic and applied knowledge.
