Journal History

Islamic Economics and Business Review (IESBIR) was established on August 8, 2022, based on the Decree of the Rector of UPN Veteran Jakarta No. 1179.1/UN61.0/HK.02/2022. The journal published the first issue on August 8, 2022, the issue of Vol. 1 No. 1 (2022): IESBIR, August 2022. The journal was launched formally by the Vice Dean III of the Faculty of Economics and Business, UPN Veteran Jakarta on October 11, 2022. The journal has been registered as a member of Aliansi Pengelola Jurnal Berintegritas Indonesia (ALJEBI).

Starting from the issuance of Vol. 1 No. 2 (2022) the journal has updated the template, therefore the published articles in that number began to be published in the new template format. Meanwhile, the metadata format had been updated by including abstracts both in English and Indonesian together. 

In 2024 IESBIR journals will be indexed by DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals since on 28 June 2024, while it would increase the visibility, impact, distribution, and usage of the journal content.

However, in early 2025, after a thorough evaluation of publication standards, editorial processes, and the evolving landscape of academic research, the editorial board decided to adjust the journal’s publication frequency from three issues per year to two. This strategic revision was implemented to enhance the rigor of the peer-review process, maintain the highest quality of published articles, and better align with global academic publishing standards. By reducing the frequency, IESBIR aims to ensure that each issue upholds the journal’s commitment to excellence while accommodating the increasing demand for in-depth, high-impact research.
