KJBM also accepts Research briefs and book reviews within the articulated scope and focus. Research briefs and book reviews are not subject to peer review.

The Journal seeks papers that are grounded in the theory and practice of business relevant to scholars, educators, and practitioners of business. The papers should take into account the diversity of the targeted readership as reflected in the diverse business disciplines. The authors should avoid ambiguous terms and should define technical terms whenever used.

The journal is currently being published biannually in online format. All articles submitted are subjected to peer review process. The editor in consultation with the editorial board decides which papers to publish or not to publish. The decision on whether to accept or reject a paper is usually informed by recommendations from at least two peer reviewers per paper.

Papers submitted should conform to the author’s guidelines provided and should be written in a scholarly style. The paper should be approximately 5,000 – 7,000 words (not more than 25 pages single-spaced). However, these details are checked before a paper is sent to the peer reviewers. Those papers that do not conform to the accepted format are returned to the authors for correction and editing of the format. All the citations and references should be made in a uniform style using the American Psychological Association (APA) style.
