Kerbala International Journal of Management and Economics

     Kerbala International Journal of Management and Economics (KIJME) is a scholarly journal published by the University of Kerbala, officially authorized by Iraq's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Established in 2010 by the Faculty of Management and Economics, the journal was originally titled "مجلة كلية الادارة والاقتصاد" and published exclusively in Arabic. At that time, it followed a manual peer-review process and was available only in printed format.

     In June 2024, the journal underwent a significant transformation, including a name change to Kerbala International Journal of Management and Economics, granted by official permission from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq. This change was introduced under the leadership of Associate Professor Mohammed Faez Hasan, a newly appointed expert in finance, to reflect the journal's expanded international focus. Alongside the rebranding, the journal transitioned to an English-only publication format and adopted the modern Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to improve global accessibility, enhance the review process, and meet the standards of prestigious academic indexing systems.

    Despite its evolution, the journal preserves its legacy by maintaining access to its previous Arabic-language publications, which can be explored (50 Issues) here. With its new name and digital platform, KIJME aspires to be a prominent venue for high-quality research in management and economics, fostering scholarly dialogue on a global scale.
