Journal description
Peer-reviewed, open access journal on the sustainability of business and economics from global, regional, national, or even local level. Published by Emerald publishing services in partnership with University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City.

History of the Journal
Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES) previously existed as the Journal of Economic Development (JED) from 1994 to 2017 and is published by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. Previously, JED published a monthly Vietnamese issue (from 1994) and a quarterly English issue (from July 2012) with assigned code ISSN 1859-1116. From Jan/01/2018, JED’s name was changed to JABES.
JABES publishes a monthly Vietnamese issue and a semi-annual English issue.
Aims and Scope
JABES seeks to explore ways of improving the sustainability of business and economics. The journal examines potential theoretical and empirical solutions to business and economic issues with the recognition of 'sustainable development' as a process of change that brings long-term benefits involving nations, economies, political alliances, institutions, groups, firms, and individuals. JABES welcomes papers covering global, regional, national, or even local topics of business and economic development that are of wider significance to sustainable policy, and of interest to international agencies, governments, public and private sector entities, local communities, non-governmental organizations, and businesses. All policy prescriptions should be supported by rigorous analysis and appraisal.
Open access
All articles published in JABES are published Open Access under a CC BY 4.0 licence.
From 2018, all English issues of the JABES are published by Emerald Publishing on behalf of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. JABES is owned by University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. JABES is published under a platinum OA arrangement, in which all charges for publishing an OA article in JABES are to be covered by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.
