IntroductionInformation is a critical investment for universities. 1 The constant challenge for any organization that generates statistical information is to ensure that their information quality is appropriate for their intended applications. 2 Data quality (DQ) is an essential element, "in spite of their expenditures on information technology, many organizations still do not have the accurate, timely, and useful data they require for effective operations and decision-making, and the problems of DQ are increasing practically. " 3 The accessibility, reliability, consistency and relevance of the data that supports information systems are essential to its use and effectiveness in university settings. 4 Ahmadi et al determined 669 information requirements by distributing questionnaires among the managers of the Deputy of Treatment. According to their results, 56% of the information requirements had no specific sources; hence, it was recommended to first evaluate the existing information system of the medical sciences universities and then, by concentrating all of the affairs of the university's information management under one unit's supervision, it would become possible to manage and eliminate parallel works under different deputies. AbstractBackground: By addressing the challenges of managing academic information, especially in the field of education, designing a framework as an organized structure for managing the quality of academic educational information is necessary. The framework for quality management of university educational information has received little attention so far and all of its aspects have not been elaborated comprehensively. This study has reviewed related literature. Methods: In this review paper, the databases such as Web of Science, Scopus and Irandoc were searched for valid English and Persian articles from 1995 to 2017 using keywords or a combination of keywords such as "information quality management". After reviewing the printed references, 48 relevant cases were selected. No limitations were applied in the selection of articles and sources in terms of their types. There are no in-press or personal communication sources. The review was conducted at all of the three steps of information management.Results: Four aspects of data quality (DQ) were identified: intrinsic, contextual, representational and accessibility. Information quality is the main process of information management. The framework for quality management of university educational information was recognized in five main categories: the information quality and its necessity, the features of information quality, comparative study on the models of data quality management (DQM), improving information quality and university policies about DQ. Conclusion: Quality management of university educational information is an effective step toward continuous improvement of DQ and can pave the way for information and academic managers while facing the current changing environment in the future issues.

“…Not all information management frameworks include information needs identification and information use as processes to be managed. However, many see the most critical issue facing information managers is eliciting information requirements and matching those information needs in the design and delivery of information systems to promote effective and efficient information use (Choo, 2002;Detlor, 2004;Karim & Hussein, 2008).…”

Many organizations depend on the success of rapidly deployed, limited time frame and multipartner projects as an important element of their business strategies. Information management is regarded as a critical and upmost important issue, especially in projects. Complex projects require additional team collaboration and a consistent information management strategy to support the development of the project. This paper reports the findings of an exploratory study on information management barriers in complex projects, particularly focusing issues and difficulties recognized by project participants and managers. Our study intends to fill the gap in empirical research regarding this subject and to provide new insights for project managers of complex projects to devise more effective information management strategies and tools to set up and run information technology platforms.
