Guidelines for Submission of Special Issue Proposals
for International Business Review
Submission deadline: 23 February 2024
International Business Review (IBR) invites proposals for Special Issues that capture important phenomena and high-impact theoretical developments in international business. These Special Issues should have the potential to offer new perspectives and point the literature in new and interesting directions.
International Business Review is a premier academic journal in the discipline of international business, and the official journal of the European International Business Academy (EIBA). The journal publishes original and insightful papers on the theory and practice of international business, broadly defined to embrace firms’ internationalization strategies, the cross-border management of firms’ operations, and comparative studies of the business environments in different countries. Put simply, the journal is interested in publishing papers that inform the international operations of firms or guide the actions of policy-makers in home or host countries. The journal welcomes conceptual, empirical and review papers, and is open to contributions from strategy, finance, management, marketing, economics, human resource management and organizational studies scholars. IBR embraces methodological plurality, and papers using quantitative and/or qualitative approaches are equally welcome.
The Special Issue proposal should include the following elements:
Details of Special Issues in progress and/or recently published in International Business Review are available at the IBR website: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/international-business-review

All proposals will be reviewed by the Senior Editorial Team in terms of their quality and alignment with IBR’s vision and scope. One or two proposals will be selected to go forward annually. The proposers will be informed of the Editorial Team’s decision approximately 6 weeks after the submission deadline.
All papers for the Special Issue will be subject to the normal double-blind peer reviewing process that is undertaken for regular issues of IBR, and accepted papers will be expected to meet the editorial standards of IBR. Papers should be prepared and submitted according to IBR’s Guidelines for Authors: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-business-review/.
The publication date will be allocated once all the papers for the Special Issue have been accepted.
