Global Business and Economics Review indexed by Clarivate's Emerging Sources Citation Index
27 August, 2025
The Global Business and Economics Review has been indexed by Clarivate's Emerging Sources Citation Index.
The journal's Editor in Chief, Dr. Peter-Jan Engelen, has made the following comments on this achievement:
"GBER's inclusion in the Emerging Sources Citation Index is an important milestone for our journal and a welcome stamp of approval on the quality of our contribution to the international research community.
GBER is a well-regarded, international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a vital platform for scholarly research in international business, economics and finance. The journal plays an important role in fostering academic dialogue and supporting the global scientific community.
I want to thank our contributing authors, reviewers and Editorial Board Members. Without their trust in our journal and their dedicated cooperation, this would not have been possible. In particular, I would like to thank our Section Editors, who showed continuous professionalism, sustained commitment and unwavering dedication to academic service. This achievement is only possible because of their hard work over many years. Finally, I would like to thank our readership for engaging with GBER as a source of inspiration for their research activities.
We continue to look forward to cooperating with all of our stakeholders in the future, and we continue to welcome manuscripts in the fields of economics, finance and international business, along with cross-country or comparative studies of capital markets, businesses and business processes."
