The Progress of International Journal of Business Anthropology
Dear readers and friends:
In addition to the inclusion of Cabell’s Directory, I am pleased to share with you that our journal (International Journal of Business Anthropology) is also listed in Ulrich's directory of publications, it is now carried by Proquest and EBSCO, which are library full text databases used by most of the university libraries.
More importantly, our journal is indexed with Google Scholar, which is somewhat of an open source location driven by google where you can access full text versions of articles.
Lastly, I am working with the publisher to get our journal be included in SSCI index system and the publisher told me that the SSCI people are very interested in getting our journal included.
All these stated above is an indication that our journal has been widely accepted by the large international academic world. I am proud of what we have accomplished in just two years and sincerely thank all of you for your support and trust.
Warmest regards,
Robert
