Journal Information
Journal of Management and Business Education (JMBE) was born in 2018 with the name of Journal of Management and Business Education as an initiative of the European Academy of Management and Business Economics (Spain).
JMBE is an open access journal devoted to the publication of internationally relevant research practice-oriented articles pertaining to business education, and allied fields.
JMBE aims to make a significant scholarly contribution to the field of management and business education by disseminating original research that explores the processes involved in teaching and learning business management from any approach. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts to shed new light on contemporary challenges in the broad domain of business education.
JMBE accepts manuscripts for evaluation written in English or Spanish. If the manuscript is submitted in a non-English language, we encourage authors to translate it to English once it is accepted.
Publishing ethics issues
JMBE as an international journal of excellence is inspired by the ethical code of publications prepared by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and aimed to editors, referees and authors.
The JMBE's ethics statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines. JMBE works to manage editorial work ethically and transparently. The Direction of JMBE (the editor-in-chief together whith the associate directors/deputy editors) are who make the decisions about the published content; they ensure the accuracy, completeness, and originality of every published article.
Note this journal uses Turnitin software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts.
Peer review process
JMBE is committed to peer review integrity. Papers will only be sent to review if the editor determine that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements. Papers authored by editors or Editorial Board members will be monitored carefully to ensure there is no peer review bias.
The content of each peer review is confidential, for use only by the handling editor, authors, and Direction of the JMBE. The article review process is done with the Open Journal System software (OJS) that guarantees automated and auditable electronic registration of all interactions.

Publication frecuency
JMBE has a periodicity of three (3) issues per year: April-August-December.
Open Access
Open access (OA) refers to the practice of providing online access to scientific information (research articles and research data) that is free of charge to the end-user and reusable.
JMBE is a Diamond open access journal. Diamond OA refers to a scholarly publication model in which journals and platforms do not charge fees to either authors or readers. JMBE provides immediate and fully open access to its content, which means that all content will be permanently available for free without delay. There are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing publications.
In support of the OA initiative, we encourage authors self-archive their publications in open access repositories. Specifically, Spanish authors should make a deposit of their accepted manuscripts to their respective institutional repositories upon acceptance of their articles. In papers published in JMBE, we encourage sharing their publications with colleagues and other stakeholders. For further information and guidance, please refer to the Recolecta website.
To make research data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), we also encourage authors to deposit their research data (data underlying publications considered as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation) in their institutional repositories or open access thematic repositories (e.g., repositories within the European Open Science Cloud initiative - EOSC).
Publication charges
There are no submission fees, publication fees or page charge for this journal. Authors are not asked to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs) for this journal in any case.
Copyright
Copyright regulates the rights of creators of literary, scientific or artistic works. Copyright generates two different rights: moral rights and patrimonial rights that JMBE recognizes and respects. Moral rights are those relating to the recognition of the authorship. They are rights of a personal nature that are perpetual, inalienable, unseizable and imprescriptible as consequence of the indivisible union of the author and his/her work. Patrimonial rights are those that can be derived from the reproduction, distribution, adaptation or communication of the work, among others.

DOI & ORCID
Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
JMBE uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) as a platform for managing and publishing articles. OJS support natively in the generation of Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The DOI system is a unique alphanumeric string that is used to identify an online resource, such as a journal article or a book chapter. DOIs are assigned to JMBE's publications in order to provide a persistent and reliable way to locate the publication on the internet.
Crossref is the organization responsible for assigning DOIs to scholarly items (articles, datasets, etc.). AEDEM (JMBE's Editorial) is a member of Crossref, and every time we publish a new issue we will deposit new DOIs at Crossref's databases.
Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID)
ORCID serves a purpose for researchers similar to that of DOI for articles. ORCID is an unique identifier for researchers/authors. Researchers can apply for an ORCID free of charge using a simple registration form on the ORCID website. An ORCID enables disambiguation between two researchers with the same name, ensuring that academic credit for a publication is given to the correct author.
It would be desirable that all authors have an ORCID account and, in any case, the corresponding author should have it. We encourage all authors to create them. As a member of Crossref we are linking each unique article (DOI) with its corresponding authors through their ORCID numbers.
Privacy Statement
The names and email addresses entered in this journal site will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.
Anti-Plagiarism checker
JMBE maintains a policy of an anti-plagiarism that ensures that all work is previously unpublished, through the use of the professional services of Turnitin software to compare the text of submitted papers for similarity. We use this service on all documents that have surpassed the editorial classification process and so are susceptible to revision from some blind reviewers.
JMBE reserves the right to reject articles with an unacceptable proportion of similarities.
Digital Preservation policy
Digital preservation can be seen as the set of processes and activities that ensure information which now exists in digital formats is backed up and distributed to guarantee continued access for the long term. The digital content of the journal is extremely valuable, and measures are in place to ensure both its current accessibility and long-term preservation. The preservation policy includes the following measures:
Website Archiving
All of our electronic content (website, manuscripts, etc.) is stored on several sources. Content on one server is online and accessible to the readers. The copy of the same content is kept as a backup on as the OJS software makes weekly copies through LOCKSS archiving systems. DOIs of the articles also ensure the durability of access through Crossref. The content of the journal is also available in open access in different databases such DIALNET, which guarantees the preservation of content by more than one database.
Abstracting/Indexing Services
Our journal’s Abstracting/Indexing services store many essential information about the articles. Additionally, journal’s Abstracting/Indexing services archive not only the metadata about the article, but also the electronic versions of the articles. Therefore, copies of the articles are available to the scientific community through their systems as an alternative to the journals own.
Self-Archiving
Authors may archive and share the accepted and published version of their articles. JMBE encourages authors electronically disseminate their works including self-archiving or deposit in open access repositories, as it favours the dissemination of the knowledge.
Metadata and Full-Text XML Harvesting
The OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a low-barrier mechanism for repository interoperability used to harvest (or collect) the metadata descriptions and in our case also the full-text articles. Metadata for all published articles is available in the Dublin Core format (oai- dc). Website: https://journaljmbe.com/
PKP Preservation Network (PN)
JMBE is included in the Public Knowledge Project Private Network (PKP PLN). PKP has developed the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) to digitally preserve OJS journals. Open Journal Systems supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe). The LOCKSS program offers decentralized and distributed preservation, seamless perpetual access, and preservation of the authentic original version of the content. The PKP PN ensures that journals can be preserved for long-term access.
Frequency of the Keepers Registry updates: Quarterly.

Repository
JMBE is indexed in different databases to ensure preservation and access to the content of the journal in case it is not published anymore (e.g., Dialnet, RePEC repositories).
