Exciting News: New Title- Journal of Sustainable Business!

We are thrilled to announce that the International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility will have a new title soon! Starting from January 2025, it will be known as the Journal of Sustainable Business. This change reflects our evolving focus and commitment to providing cutting-edge research and insights in the research field. We believe this change will enhance our identity and better serve our readers, authors, and the broader academic community. At the same time, the journal will continue to provide continued excellence in our content and will remain a fully open access title providing  free access to our articles  to our research communities worldwide.

Stay tuned for updated aims and scope, new and improved design, new submission guidelines, new APC, expanded and diverse editorial board and other enhancements!

In order to facilitate these changes, we will no longer be publishing any further content under the old title after 15 October 2024.

Aims and scope

The International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility (JCSR) offers a unique platform for the latest theoretical and empirical research and for innovative concepts for sustainable business strategies which create value for business and society (shared value). It contains best practices, literature reviews and leading foresight thinking in the field of business and society. It makes latest innovative management approaches accessible to academics from various disciplines, business leaders and interested research students alike. JCSR aims to bridge gaps from various perspectives on sustainability challenges (financial crises, climate change, demographics, business disruptions etc.) from all over the world and contributes to a broad trans-disciplinary and intercultural discussion on the role of business in society. In addition, its goal is to develop sound academic concepts as well as empirical data with the idea of creating value for business and society at the same time. It aims to become the leading platform for the latest management thinkers by providing articles not published before and approved by an international scientific community.
