About the Journal

The Journal of Global Business is an annual journal for those who present their research at the Global Business Conference held annually in Manila, Philippines, or direct submission to ATIFTAP through EasyChair. This conference is organized by the Association of Training Institutions for Foreign Trade in Asia and the Pacific. The Journal contains research from professors in business and other fields.

Authors submit their manuscripts to the Global Business Conference or direct submission to ATIFTAP through EasyChair.
The submitted manuscripts are initially assessed if they have implications for global business.
Accepted manuscripts undergo a double-blind review process. The authors and the reviewers do not know each other. Authors of manuscripts that are not accepted are given written notices and the reasons for non-acceptance.
The Editor and/or the Global Business Conference Chair send the submitted manuscripts to the journal’s reviewers, who are given a maximum of one month to complete the review. Reviewers are invited experts in accounting, business management, commercial law, economics, finance, and marketing. They have earned their PhDs and DBAs from reputable institutions.
The Editor and/or Global Business Conference Chair inform the authors of the results of the peer review.
After making the necessary revisions, the authors send back the manuscripts to the Editor and/or Global Business Conference Chair.
The Editor and/or Global Business Conference Chair sends the revised manuscripts back to the reviewers for their approval. Once approved, this will be communicated to the authors.
