The journal is as a “B’” level journal in the Australian Business Dean Council (ABDC) journal list. We welcome submissions of manuscripts by researchers, and scholars from all disciplines provided the manuscript speaks to one or more of the global ABR audience.

Our definition of businesses also includes organizations in the non-profit or non-governmental organizations. Business Faculty includes all faculty who teach at any level globally (including Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D. or Executive Programs). Similarly, Business Students include all full time and part-time business students. Manuscripts that are conceptual or empirical are both welcome. We welcome both qualitative and quantitative methodologies for empirical manuscripts. See more details in Author Guidelines. Why publish in the American Business Review?
