AIMS OF THE JOURNAL
MISSION
The mission of the Journal of Economics and Management (JEM) is to create a platform where scholars, learners, and thinkers can exchange informed, critical, and respectful contributions on important topics in business domains across disciplines. The journal aims to the academic gap by brining scholars, learners and professionals and community under one roof.
VISION
The vision of the Journal of Economics and Management (JEM) is to become the leading platform for multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research and writing. The journal aims to cover the new perspective research and become known for its high standards, innovative approach, and impact on the learned community.
The Journal of Economics and Management (JEM) aims to publish high-quality research articles, reviews, and perspectives per issue to improve business management conditions and move forward interdisciplinary and disciplinary discourse.
The key objectives of the journal include providing authors with detailed and constructive feedback within weeks of their submission of articles, expanding online readership across continents, keeping a tally of interdisciplinary knowledge and theory-building works from the submissions received on making the business discourse more sustainable, smart, and practicable, ensuring the implementation of copyright and intellectual property laws, and exploring tools and resources for visibility of the journal and maintenance of its academic standards for dissemination of research.
Additionally, the journal focuses on creating intellectual capital by prescribing and improving business theories and practices and encouraging scientific research into sustainable governance and business ethics. To achieve these objectives, the journal operates a double-blind peer review model and publishes both theoretical and empirical research papers in the general fields of economics and business.
Journal of Economics and Management (JEM) is a double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to publishing high-quality papers using multidisciplinary approaches with a strong emphasis on emerging issues of business, economics, communication, management, finance, administration, English, and social issues on a yearly basis by Birgunj Public College (BPC), affiliated to Purbanchal University and Tribhuvan University. The journal concentrates on both empirical and theoretical papers that advance our understanding of management science. It aims to provide a platform for academia, management researchers, management practitioners, and management students to publish their original works. We believe that management is an innovation-oriented discipline that inherently demands evolving knowledge and skills that cross discipline boundaries or intersect in many areas. We also believe that both researchers and practitioners can and should contribute by translating their understanding into action and linking theory into practice. This, in turn, will enhance relevance and thought in various related fields, ushering us outside the traditional field of management.
JEM is published annually.
