About the Journal

Integrated Business and Financial Studies (IBFS) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the advancement of rigorous scholarly inquiry across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The journal serves as a platform for academics, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to contribute original research articles, high-quality review papers, and critical analytical book reviews that address contemporary intellectual, economic, and social challenges. IBFS places particular emphasis on research that bridges theory and practice while offering meaningful insights relevant to both global and Pakistani contexts.

The scope of IBFS is intentionally broad, reflecting its commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue and integrated perspectives. The journal welcomes contributions in areas including, but not limited to, Business Management, Accounting and Finance, Economics, Philosophy and Theology, as well as social, economic, and public policy issues pertaining to the Republic of Pakistan. In addition, IBFS actively encourages comparative and cross-cultural studies that examine similarities, differences, and shared challenges across societies, regions, and economic systems.

IBFS particularly values manuscripts that engage with modern and emerging challenges, such as economic transformation, financial innovation, governance and ethics, sustainable development, social justice, and policy reform. Submissions should demonstrate strong methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, and practical relevance, offering evidence-based reflections that inform academic discourse and policy decision-making at both national and international levels. Through its interdisciplinary approach, IBFS aims to foster intellectual exchange, support informed policymaking, and contribute to the development of knowledge that addresses the complex realities of an interconnected world.
