The importance of knowledge creation and sharing are well understood in the knowledge society. Academicians and researchers across the world sweat for making a better world; conduct research, attempt for quality publications, meet other scholars at research forums to share knowledge, etc. Yet factors are hindering the target. Over the decades, it had been observed that a large number of published research articles are erroneous due to a lack of knowledge in quantitative research. Institute of Mathematics and Management(IMM) determined to fill the knowledge gap; take the initiative to conduct the conference along with the "Workshop in Data Analytics".

Call for Papers
Original research papers and review papers in Management, Business Administration, Education, Social Sciences, and related disciplines from Undergraduate and Post Graduate Students, Research Scholars, Faculty, Scientists, etc., are invited for presentation and publication.
The review process consists, Desk screening and Peer Review as follows;
Desk Screening
Each manuscript submitted to the conference will be first evaluated by the Editor/Editorial Board. The Editor/Editorial Board has the right to desk review and “desk rejects” the manuscript without sending it out for peer review.
Peer Review
After an initial evaluation by the Editor/Editorial Board, the manuscript will be sent to two reviewers appointed by the Editor/ Editorial Board. The number of reviewers can be increased if necessary. IMM employs double-blind reviewing – both the reviewer(s) and the author(s) remain anonymous throughout the process. The reviewer(s) will evaluate the manuscript's originality, significance, research design, methodology, presentation of results, and appropriate referencing of relevant past studies. If the reviewer(s) recommend revision, the Editor/Editorial Board may invite the author(s) to revise and resubmit the manuscript based on the comments and suggestions from the reviewer(s). The author(s) need to re-submit the revised manuscript on or before the date announced by the Editor/Editorial Board. The Editor/Editorial Board will make the final decision on acceptance/rejection based on the final reviewer (s).
Publication Opportunities
Abstracts of the papers will be published in Conference Proceedings; Hard copy or E-copy, with ISSN. Selected full papers will be published in the Journal of New Frontiers in Economics and Business (JNFEB) or Journal of New Frontiers in Education and Social Sciences (JNFESS) with ISSN, within three months from the date of the conference.
Deadline for Abstract Submission: 31st July 2021
Submission of Papers: Participants intending to present papers at conferences are requested to submit a soft copy of the abstract.
Participants intending to publish the full paper in journals, JNFEB/JNFESS are requested to submit a soft copy of the full paper within 30 days from the date of the conference.
Submission Guidelines: Refer to the Abstract Template and Full Paper Template for guidance. Notifications of acceptance/ rejection are within 2 weeks from the date of submission. Indicate the conference name on the right top of your paper "IMMCMSS 2021 Canberra".
Workshop on Data Analytics (WDA)
Instructors: Dr (Mrs.) W. G. Samanthi Konarasinghe, and Major K. M. Udaya Banda Konarasinghe (Retired)

The intended participants for the course are students and practitioners of a data-driven environment.
Outline and Objectives
The statistical software; MINITAB, MATLAB / SPSS, and Excel will be the main tools utilized in the workshop, but the previous knowledge in handling the above software is not a must.
