Conference participants are welcome to submit full papers, short papers, extended abstracts, paper drafts, or invited session proposals. Submitted papers will be fully refereed and published in electronic formats. Please refer to Call for Papers.

For those unable to attend the conference in person, virtual presentations are available. Virtual Presentations allow participants to submit papers for refereeing and publication in the conference proceedings. Virtual participants will receive a full copy of the conference proceedings and registration fee payment receipts (Invoices) via download.              

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We recommend that you send your paper at the earliest possible date to allow us to send the manuscript to reviewers and get reviews back in timely fashion. The review cycle time tends to increase if you submit your paper right on the deadline date due to the large number of submissions around deadlines.

Interested academics and practitioners are invited to submit:

Research papers: complete papers (5000 words max.) with complete references section. 

Short papers / Abstracts: this could be research in progress, abstracts, ideas you would like to explore with audience at the conference, or draft of papers for possible co-authorship: (max. 5 pages or 2000 words) 

IBIMA focuses on real-world business research. All papers will be directed to the appropriate theme and/or track. All accepted papers that are registered by author(s) will be published in the conference proceedings.

Virtual presentation is available if you are unable to attend conference activities in person. 

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. It is IBIMA policy to make efforts to send complete papers to two reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review back to the author(s). If there is difficulty to receive reviewers’ reports, the paper will be reviewed by the conference chair and can issue a decision with or without sending review comments.  Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed by a reviewer and/or the conference chair and can issue a decision with or without sending review comments. All review comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Submitted Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere

Conference proceedings will be published as an e-book on a USB (ISSN: 2767-9640).

*IBIMA reserves the right to accept or reject any research/short paper proposal/submission. Reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to: topics not fitting the conference program main theme or panel subjects, insufficient space on the conference program, failure to meet professional obligations in prior IBIMA conferences (e.g., not completing a paper, not delivering a paper on time, failure to appear for a scheduled slot), failure to register for the conference, unprofessional conduct, or any other reason.

The following papers have been accepted for presentation in the 44th IBIMA Conference and for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The list has two categories:  "Research papers" and "Short papers".

We have many papers that are still "under review". Accordingly, this list is updated regularly.

We invite interested scholars, researchers, and managers to organize your own session(s) within the conference.  The special topic session is a unique opportunity that brings together researchers and audience from around the world to discuss a specific research question of interest and/or share research efforts with others who have worked in the same area.  These sessions could result in future joint research efforts, co-authorship of journal articles, and/or book publications.  Special topics sessions are highly beneficial if they are well organized. 

The efforts of the Special Topics Sessions' Organizers will be recognized as follows:

  • The registration fee of the session organizer will be waived if at least 4 authors of invited papers register at the conference.
  • Session organizers names will appear on the conference proceedings as Associate Editors


You can submit a proposal to organize a special topics session, workshop, and/or tutorial.  Proposals to organize a special topic session should include the following information: name and address, e-mail of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, and a short description on how the session will be advertised.  Usually, session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the session proposer.  E-mail proposal to the conference chair. 

Each special topic session will have at least 4 papers. The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, etc.  The review process for invited sessions will strictly follow the review process for regular submission.  Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution.  Each paper will be exposed to a full blind peer review by two reviewers in the topical area.  Final camera-ready papers will be reviewed by one reviewer. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

Please e-mail conference Chair with your proposal.

Temas de la Conferencia Tópicos 

IBIMA has started the "Virtual Presentation" program in 2003.  The program has helped thousands of authors around the world to publish their research efforts in an international conference, get their papers internationally recognized and cited.

Virtual presentations program was carefully designed and perfected over the years for those who are unable to attend the conference in person due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and social distancing laws, schedule conflict, teaching/research load, long flights to conference location, visa issues, or budget constraints but wish to participate with their research in this major international event. Virtual Presentations (with its reduced conference registration fee to almost 50% off regular fee) allows participants to submit papers for refereeing and publication in the conference proceedings, follow exactly the same procedures as regular papers.  Virtual participants will receive a full copy of the conference proceedings and registration fee payment receipts (Invoices) via download.

Over the past 20 years, thousands of virtual presentations’ papers have been published and indexed at top indexers.

The review process for virtual presentations will strictly follow the review process for regular submissions.  Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution.  Each paper will be exposed to a full blind peer review in most cases. Short papers will be reviewed by the editor.  Summary of review feedback/reports will be sent back to the author(s) in most cases.  All comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

Presentation on IBIMA YouTube Channel: “IBIMA Media” is a  YouTube Channel youtube.com/IBIMAMedia  designed to display presentations of many conference papers.  This is optional.  It is for those authors who would like to go one step further and present their research and at the same time receive "virtual presentation certificate". Once your paper is reviewed, accepted, and registered at the conference, you will receive complete instructions on how to upload your PowerPoint presentation with voice-over narration or upload a video tap of you presenting your own paper.
