Association for Business Teaching and Research News

A Division of NBEA

The editorial team of the Journal of Research in Business Education invite researchers to submit proposals for the Winter 2020 Issue. This is a high-quality research journal with 30% acceptance rate, credibility, and impact factor. The Journal of Research in Business Education is open to all areas of business teaching and research, including such disciplines as management, marketing, accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, information technology, and human resources management.

Contributions

Journal contributors make a clear and significant contribution to research in business education and the teaching of business. The journal will continue to address the importance of business education research. Contributors attest to the value of research publication in the Journal of Research in Business Education.

Publishing in the Journal of Research in Business Education and its predecessor, The Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, greatly benefited my career. Through exposure of my work in the leading refereed business education journal, I earned two early promotions and rose through the ranks from assistant professor to professor in six years. Equally important was the opportunity to meet through the sponsoring association wonderful professional colleagues who have been collaborators on projects, articles, and presentations and have become friends.

Dr. Carol Blaszczynski, Professor, California State University

The Journal of Research in Business Education, formerly The Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, has been the premier research journal in the field of business education for the last 50 years. Publishing in this prestigious journal has allowed me to meet the requirements for promotion and tenure at several universities. I have always worked in an AACSB-accredited college of business and The Journal of Research in Business Education has always been classified as a Tier I journal. Publishing in a Tier I journal has allowed me to receive more funds for travel, computer equipment, and other extra items. In summary, publishing in the premier research journal in the field of business education has allowed me to make significant contributions to the world of business education while meeting the promotion and tenure requirements.

Dr. Jorge Gaytan, Associate Professor, North Carolina A & T State University
