The International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and academicians in this field to share their knowledge and experience of combining e-learning and m-learning with other educational resources. The journal offers insight into a wide range of topics such as knowledge sharing, mobile games for learning, collaborative learning, e-learning, and more. Due to its comprehensive coverage and its distinction as an official publication of the International Association for Mobile Learning, IJMBL has been accepted into prestigious indices such as Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index®, Scopus®, Compendex®, and PsycINFO®. IJMBL contains useful articles for those seeking to learn, analyze, improve, and apply technologies in mobile and blended learning, spanning theoretical, technical, and pedagogical issues in that learning. The journal also devotes discussion to comprehensive or critical reviews of the current literature, relevant technologies and applications, and important contextual issues under areas such as privacy, security, adaptivity, and resource constraints.

on the results of the double-blind peer review process.

It is also important to note that in scholarly publishing, utilizing an open access journal's resources and time with no intent to pay the open access Article Processing Charge (APC) if the article manuscript is accepted following the peer review process is considered to be unethical and exploitative.
