Information For Librarians

The Journal of Strategic Business Research (JSBR) encourages academic, research, and corporate libraries to include the journal in their electronic and/or print collections. Our goal is to make high-quality business research easily discoverable, accessible, and preserved for future generations.

1. Library Benefits

By adding JSBR to your library’s resources, librarians can:

  • Provide faculty, researchers, and students with access to peer-reviewed business strategy and management research.

  • Support teaching, curriculum development, and policy analysis with up-to-date, relevant case studies and scholarly insights.

  • Offer open access content (if applicable) that can be freely shared across your institution without access restrictions.

  • Contribute to long-term preservation of scholarly materials through institutional archiving.

2. Access Models

  • Open Access: If JSBR operates fully open access, all articles can be freely accessed without subscription or paywall barriers.

  • Hybrid Access: For subscription-based articles, institutional subscriptions are available for both online and print editions.

  • Archival Access: Librarians can access and store past issues in their repositories for permanent use.

3. Metadata and Cataloguing

  • JSBR provides complete metadata (including MARC records, DOIs, ISSN, and keywords) to ensure easy integration into library catalog systems.

  • The journal’s content can be indexed and discovered through major academic databases and search tools.

4. Archiving and Preservation

  • Librarians may deposit JSBR content in institutional repositories to ensure perpetual availability.

  • The journal participates in LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, and Portico for long-term preservation and redundancy.

5. How to Add JSBR to Your Collection

  • Contact the JSBR editorial office for subscription inquiries, MARC records, or access credentials (if required).

  • Include JSBR in library discovery services and recommend it to faculty and students.

6. Librarian Engagement

We invite librarians to:

  • Share journal updates with faculty and research groups.

  • Encourage faculty to submit research and case studies to JSBR.

  • Recommend the journal as a teaching resource for MBA, management, and entrepreneurship courses.
