Dear Authors and Readers,

We hope this message finds you well.

We would like to inform all contributors and users of the International Journal of Business Studies (IJBS) that our internal system is currently undergoing a scheduled update and maintenance process. This essential upgrade is part of our commitment to improving the quality, reliability, and efficiency of our journal services, including manuscript processing, publication workflow, and indexing integrations.

During this transition period, certain technical issues may arise. One of the key services currently affected is the assignment and activation of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for newly published articles. We are aware of this issue and are working diligently with our technical partners to resolve it as quickly as possible. Rest assured that all DOIs will be processed and activated as soon as the system becomes fully operational.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this important upgrade. Your cooperation is highly appreciated, and we remain committed to providing high-quality academic publishing services.

Should you have any urgent concerns, inquiries, or require clarification regarding your manuscript or publication status, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through our official contact channels. Our editorial team will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your continued trust and support for IJBS.

Warm regards,
Editorial Team
International Journal of Business Studies (IJBS)
