International
Journal of Economic and Business Management (IJEBM)
is an
international academic open access journal which gains a foothold in
Singapore, Asia and opens to the world. It aims to promote the
integration of trade, economics, and finance. The focus is to publish
papers on state-of-the-art economics, business and management. Submitted
papers will be reviewed by technical committees of the Journal and
Association. The audience includes researchers, managers and operators
for economics, business and management as well as designers and
developers.
All submitted articles should report original, previously unpublished
research results, experimental or theoretical, and will be
peer-reviewed. Articles submitted to the journal should meet these
criteria and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts should follow the style of the journal and are subject to
both review and editing.
You can send your manuscripts as email attachments to our editorial
office at:
academicresearchjournalsijebm@yahoo.com
or
ijebm@academicresearchjournals.org .
A manuscript number will be emailed to the corresponding author within
48 hours.
Author's Guide
Manuscripts must
be sent as e-mail attachment to
ijebm@academicresearchjournals.org.
IJBM editorial board makes an objective and quick decision on each
manuscript and informs the corresponding author within three weeks of
submission. If accepted, the article is published online within days.
Submit manuscripts as e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at:
ijebm@academicresearchjournals.org.
A manuscript number will be mailed to the corresponding author same day
or within 48 hours.
The cover letter should include the corresponding author's full address
and telephone/fax numbers and should be in an e-mail message sent to the
Editor, with the file, whose name should begin with the first author's
surname, as an attachment.
Article Types
Three types of manuscripts may be submitted:
Regular articles: These should describe new and carefully
confirmed findings, and experimental procedures should be given in
sufficient detail for others to verify the work. The length of a full
paper should be the minimum required to describe and interpret the work
clearly.
Short Communications: A Short
Communication is suitable for recording the results of complete small
investigations or giving details of new models or hypotheses, innovative
methods, techniques or apparatus. The style of main sections need not
conform to that of full-length papers. Short communications are 2 to 4
printed pages (about 6 to 12 manuscript pages) in length.
Review: Submissions of reviews
and perspectives covering topics of current interest are welcome and
encouraged. Reviews should be concise and no longer than 4-6 printed
pages (about 12 to 18 manuscript pages). Reviews are also peer-reviewed.
Review Process
All manuscripts are reviewed by an editor and members of the Editorial
Board or qualified outside reviewers. Decisions will be made as rapidly
as possible, and the journal strives to return reviewers’ comments to
authors within 3 weeks. The editorial board will re-review manuscripts
that are accepted pending revision. It is the goal of the PJBM to
publish manuscripts within 6 weeks after submission.
Regular articles
All portions of the manuscript must be typed double-spaced and all pages
numbered starting from the title page.
The Title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper.
The Title Page should include the authors' full names and affiliations,
the name of the corresponding author along with phone, fax and E-mail
information. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote.
The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory,
briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate
significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The
Abstract should be 100 to 250 words in length.. Complete sentences,
active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract
should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be
used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.
Following the abstract, about 3 to 10 key words that will provide
indexing reference should be listed.
A list of non-standard Abbreviations should be added. In general,
non-standard abbreviations should be used only when the full term is
very long and used often. Each abbreviation should be spelled out and
introduced in parentheses the first time it is used in the text. Only
recommended SI units should be used.
The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the
relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or
solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range
of scientific disciplines.
Materials and methods should be complete enough to allow experiments to
be reproduced. However, only truly new procedures should be described in
detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important
modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly.
Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address.
Subheadings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described
in detail.
Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results
should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the
authors' experiments. Previously published findings should be written in
the present tense. Results should be explained, but largely without
referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed
interpretation of data should not be included in the Results but should
be put into the Discussion section.
The Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results
obtained in this and in past studies on this topic. State the
conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. The Results and
Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when appropriate, both
sections can be combined.
The Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as
possible. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including
headings and footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page,
numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading
and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the
text. The details of the methods used in the experiments should
preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same
data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in
the text.
Figure legends should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet.
Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating
high resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG or Powerpoint before pasting in the
Microsoft Word manuscript file. Tables should be prepared in Microsoft
Word. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters
for their parts (Fig 1). Begin each legend with a title and include
sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without
reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should
not be repeated in the text.
References: In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s
name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses.
When there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s name
should be mentioned, followed by ’et al‘. In the event that an author
cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the
reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be
identified by a lower case letter like ’a‘ and ’b‘ after the date to
distinguish the works.
References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical
order. Journal names are abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts.
Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Short Communications
Short Communications are limited to a maximum of two figures and one
table. They should present a complete study that is more limited in
scope than is found in full-length papers. The items of manuscript
preparation listed above apply to Short Communications with the
following differences:
(1) Abstracts are limited to 100 words;
(2) Instead of a separate Materials and Methods section, experimental
procedures may be incorporated into Figure Legends and Table footnotes;
(3) Results and Discussion should be combined into a single section.
Open Access
IJEBM is an open access journal. Abstracts and full texts of all
articles published in the journals can be read online without any form
of restriction.
Creative Commons
All IJEBM articles are published under the terms of the
Creative Commons
Attribution License 4.0 International License. Readers can
copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the work provided the original work
and source is appropriately cited.
Copyright
Submission of a manuscript implies that authors have met the
requirements of the editorial policy and publication ethics. Authors
retain the copyright of their articles published in the journal.
However, authors agree that their articles remain permanently open
access under the terms of the
Creative Commons
Attribution License 4.0 International License.
Review Policy
The journal operates a blind review policy. Manuscripts are reviewed by
editorial board members or other qualified persons.
Manuscript Handling Fee
The manuscript handling fee for IJEBM is $300 (USD).
Waiver Policy
I will like to give some of the reasons for charging publication
handling fee.
Academic Research Journals
is a self supporting organization and does not receive funding from any
institution/government. Hence, the operation of the Journal is solely
financed by the handling fees received from
authors. The handling fees are
required to meet operations expenses such as employees’ salaries,
internet services, electricity, etc.
It costs money to produce a
peer-reviewed, edited and formatted article that is ready for online
publication, and to host it on a server that is freely accessible
without barriers around the clock.
We ask that as a small part of the cost of doing the research, the
author, institution, or funding agency pays a modest fee to help cover
the actual cost of the essential final step, which is the publication.
However, we can offer you a partial waiver of the handling fee, but not
a full waiver.
Please send your application for waiver to
ijebm@academicresearchjournals.org
