Our purpose

Where we are going, and how we get there

Our vision

To become a trusted home for business and management research: a platform where scholars everywhere can publish openly, be heard fairly, and help shape how organisations work.

Our mission

  1. Publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research openly, without paywalls.

  2. Run ethical, transparent and efficient editorial processes.

  3. Bridge theory and practice across business and management disciplines.

  4. Open participation to authors and reviewers everywhere by removing financial and regional barriers.

Our commitments

  • Openness

    Knowledge should be freely shared, not gated by paywalls or profit.

  • Rigour

    Double-blind peer review and clear editorial standards, applied to every manuscript.

  • Transparency

    An open editorial workflow, so authors always know where their work stands.

  • Global inclusion

    Scholars from every region and career stage are welcome to read, review and publish.

Research visibility

    Persistent identifiers and rich metadata for every article.

    Article pages carry the citation metadata Google Scholar reads.

  • ORCID and ROR

    Author and institution identifiers shown with each article.
