Authors intending to submit to Advances in Business & Industrial Marketing Research (ABIM) should ensure that the manuscript is relevant to the journal's Aims & Scope, academically rigorous, original, ethically prepared, and compliant with the requirements below.
All manuscripts must be prepared in English and submitted through the ABIM Online Journal System (OJS). ABIM applies a double-anonymous peer-review process; therefore, author-identifying information must not appear in the blinded manuscript.
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the official ABIM OJS platform.
Before submission, authors should confirm that all requirements below have been satisfied. Non-compliant manuscripts may be returned before editorial evaluation.
- The manuscript is written in academic English.
- The work has not been previously published and is not simultaneously under consideration by another journal.
- Two separate files are prepared: (1) blinded manuscript and (2) title page.
- The title page contains author names, affiliations, corresponding-author details, funding, acknowledgments, conflicts of interest, author contributions, and Generative AI declaration where applicable.
- The blinded manuscript contains no author names, affiliations, email addresses, acknowledgments, or other identifying information.
- Files are submitted in DOC or DOCX format, not PDF.
- The manuscript follows the official ABIM formatting requirements.
- All citations correspond accurately with the reference list.
- Necessary ethical approval, informed consent, permissions, or instrument-use authorization has been obtained where applicable.
- Tables, figures, supporting materials, and research-data disclosures are complete where relevant.
ABIM applies a double-anonymous peer-review process. Manuscripts proceeding to external review are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers.
Authors must remove identifying information from the blinded manuscript. Author information should be entered in OJS metadata and included only in the separate title page.
Submitted manuscripts must represent original scholarly work and must not contain plagiarism, fabricated citations, inappropriate text recycling, or substantial unattributed material from other sources.
The manuscript should use clear, professional, inclusive, and academically appropriate language. Authors are encouraged to use suitable grammar-checking and reference-management tools before submission.
