About the Journal

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 distributed only in print.

In June 2024, the journal underwent a major transformation, including a name change to Kerbala International Journal of Management and Economics, with official approval from the Ministry. Under the leadership of Associate Professor Mohammed Faez Hasan, an expert in finance recently appointed as editor-in-chief, the journal adopted an international scope. It transitioned to an English-only format and migrated to the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to enhance global accessibility, streamline the review process, and align with international indexing standards.

Despite this evolution, the journal preserves its legacy by providing access to earlier Arabic issues, which can be explored (50 issues) here. With its new identity and digital platform, KIJME aims to become a leading venue for high-quality research in management and economics, fostering academic discourse at both national and international levels.
