Journal of the Academy of Business and Emerging Markets (JABEM)

JABEM, a double anonymous peer-reviewed, biannual and Open Access multi- and inter-disciplinary international journal, aims to publish debatable and testable articles. Empirical, comparative and iconoclastic articles based on alternate views, theories or diversity in methodologies are particularly welcome. JABEM does not publish opinions, interviews or case studies.

Mission of JABEM is to disseminate emerging markets based research worldwide and develop scholarship of authors within the scope of topics relating to Business, Government and Community. JABEM publishes solely on articles’ merit and is absolutely free. There are no Article Processing Charges (APC).

Special Issue JABEM invites Special Issue (SI) proposals from guest editors (professors, scholars and practitioners) whose research interests are aligned with the aim and scope of the Journal. Please note the following criteria when submitting your SI proposal to the editor-in-chief (EIC): (1) The EIC is responsible for the content of the entire Journal, including all SIs and has the final authority to accept or reject papers based on the paper quality, the Journals’ aim and scope, and the Journal guidelines (see Author Instructions tab); (2) EIC ensures that guest editors’ credentials are checked and approved; (3) EIC or a dedicated board member will oversee the guest editors; (4) papers submitted to a SI by the guest editor(s) must be handled under an independent review process. Guest editors cannot submit their papers in the same SI they edit. Guest editors should declare any conflict of interest in writing to the EIC; (5) Guest editors are responsible for sending a call for papers, inviting quality papers relating to the aim and scope of the Journal for the SI, setting the timeline for submissions, reviews and publications, managing the double-blind review process (same as the regular issue) independently following the COPE guidelines (See Ethics, Conflicts and Plagiarism tab), and encouraging the authors to deposit their papers to repository of their choice for broader dissemination of the research; (6) Guest editors should plan for giving six months to authors to write, six months for the review process, and another three months to EIC to finally check and approve the SI publication. The publication cycle can take 12 to 18 months, assuming unexpected delays; (7) Guest editing is a volunteering role; however, it has benefits such as gaining visibility, expanding network, updating knowledge and professional development, building editorial experience, and getting recognized by tenure, promotion and awards committees. JABEM will publish a maximum of one SI per year beginning V4(1).

Each issue of JABEM is periodically deposited to Library and Archives Canada, Government of Canada.
