Scope Principle

AJEB is an economics and business-centered interdisciplinary journal. Manuscripts involving economics, business economics, development studies, human resource management, organizational behavior, sustainability, ESG, marketing, accounting, finance, governance, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, or related disciplines are welcome when they demonstrate a clear and substantive scholarly connection to the journal's stated economic, business, organizational, managerial, or interdisciplinary research domains.

Topics from adjacent disciplines should demonstrate a meaningful relationship with the journal's scholarly domains. Such relevance should be reflected in the research problem, framework, analysis, findings, discussion, implications, or scholarly contribution rather than appearing only as incidental background.

Article Types

AJEB considers the following two principal categories of scholarly manuscripts:

Research Papers include original empirical, analytical, quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, comparative, case-based, methodological, or other research that provides a substantive scholarly contribution within AJEB's stated scope.

Literature Review Papers include systematic, integrative, meta-analytic, bibliometric, or other rigorous literature reviews that synthesize existing scholarship, identify research gaps, and provide a clear scholarly contribution within AJEB's research domains.

Out-of-Scope Clarification

Manuscripts focused primarily on disciplines or topics outside AJEB's scholarly domains may be considered outside scope when economics, business, management, organizations, markets, governance, finance, sustainability, or another recognized AJEB research area does not constitute a substantive element of the study.

Examples: A purely technical, clinical, engineering, legal, educational, or other disciplinary study without a meaningful relationship to economics, business, management, organizations, markets, finance, governance, sustainability, organizational behavior, or another recognized AJEB research domain would normally fall outside the journal's scope.

A manuscript should not be submitted to AJEB merely because economic, business, managerial, organizational, or policy implications are mentioned briefly in the background or conclusion.

Editorial Scope Screening

During initial editorial screening, the Editorial Team assesses whether the manuscript's research problem, objectives, conceptual or theoretical foundation, methodology, findings, discussion, implications, and scholarly contribution are sufficiently aligned with AJEB's stated scope.

Manuscripts that clearly fall outside the journal's scholarly domain or do not demonstrate an adequate substantive relationship with economics, business, management, organizations, markets, sustainability, finance, governance, or another recognized AJEB research area may be declined without external peer review.

Target Readership

AJEB is intended for researchers, academics, doctoral students, economists, business professionals, managers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, consultants, institutional decision-makers, and practitioners interested in economics, business, management, organizational behavior, human resource management, sustainability, marketing, accounting, governance, finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, development studies, and related scholarly fields.

Before Submission

Authors should ensure that the manuscript's relevance to AJEB is clearly demonstrated throughout the research problem, theoretical or conceptual framework, objectives, methodology, analysis, discussion, implications, and scholarly contribution. Alignment with the journal's scope does not guarantee publication.
