Paper Length: typically, 3,000-7,000 words (excluding tables, figures, references, and appendices); anything exceeding 10% of the limits may be returned to authors for reduction before consideration by the Editors. Figures and tables should be numbered properly in the text as well.

Article Types

Journal of Business Science Philosophy publishes original articles, empirical, conceptual, or review articles that contribute significantly to academic discourse in the fields of business, science, and philosophy. Articles should be concise, rigorous, original, and offer implications for research and practice in these interdisciplinary domains.

Reference Style (APA Style):

In-text citations should follow the author-date format, where the author’s last name and the publication year are enclosed in parentheses. For example: (Author, Year). References should be listed alphabetically by the authors’ last names. If there are multiple works by the same author, arrange them in chronological order, with the earliest publication first.

Here is an example of how to format different types of references in APA style:

1. Journal Article:

Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. DOI or URL

2. Book:
