To facilitate citations of your work published in the ABAC Journal, which, as you might be well aware, is good for all parties including our readers, authors, and the Journal, we are pleased to make this announcement:
(1) Please be informed that we are now using DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for citing an article, with a DOI number being used in place of traditional page-number citations. Citing by DOI numbering is fast, simple and efficient, having been well received by increasing SSCI and SCOPUS journals.
With thanks to TCI for their initiative and financial support, we are now using DOI numbering via Crossref, which is purposefully designed for journals.
The following are examples of article numbering by DOI via Crossref:
https://doi.org/10.59865/abacj.2023.48
https://doi.org/10.59865/abacj.2023.49
(2) Along this line, the ABAC journal has switched from APA 6th edition to APA 7th edition for in-text citation and referencing. Thus, from now on, please submit your manuscript in APA 7th ed. If you have already submitted in APA 6th edition, you are required to resubmit in APA 7th edition. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
(3) Please kindly note that by using DOI and APA 7th, you do not need page numbers for citations. As we post your work online, your work without page numbers is ready for uploading, indicated by: (in press). The current issue is in press but contains articles that are final and fully citable. Thus, no need to wait and inquire for page numbers for your work.
(4) When you publish reference lists for your content, you must include the relevant DOIs of the cited articles (if they are available).
(5) We advise you to visit our journal website regularly for advanced posting of upcoming future articles in future issues. Meanwhile authors are advised to read the author guidelines prior to making a submission.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact us at abacjournal@au.edu should you have any questions, or require any information or clarification.
THANK YOU

With the latest CiteScore2021 announcement by SCOPUS and the last two years of SJR, the ABAC Journal has now been placed in Q1 by both SCOPUS and SJR, under the category of Literature and Literary Theory, while also being placed in Q3 under Social Sciences (miscellaneous).
This has prompted us to have a critical look at our aims & scope to come up with a better fit with our strengths and evolving identity, as follows:
Effective from the date of this announcement, the Aims & Scope of the ABAC Journal will be revised to:
Journal of Business Management, and Related Social Sciences
In a practical context Business management encompasses all areas of business practices, as well as new insights and/or further developments in business theories with a specific focus on tourism, marketing, business management, finance, or economics.
Under Related Social Sciences, we welcome original papers in 3 related areas:
Please note that papers in these three areas must be related to business management in order to be published in the ABAC journal.
