2. Vision and Mission of IJFMS

The vision of IJFMS is to become an internationally recognised source of authoritative knowledge in finance and management sciences. Its mission revolves around several core objectives:

2.1 Advancing Knowledge in Finance and Management

The journal aims to advance theoretical and empirical research in areas such as corporate finance, investment analysis, financial markets, behavioural finance, risk management, management strategy, human resource development, business analytics, and organisational behaviour.

2.2 Encouraging Multidisciplinary Contributions

Modern business problems rarely exist in isolation. Recognising this, IJFMS welcomes interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from economics, data science, psychology, information systems, public policy, and strategic management.

2.3 Promoting Open Access to Knowledge

IJFMS adheres to the principle that knowledge should be accessible to all. By adopting an open-access model, the journal enables scholars from both developed and developing countries to contribute to and benefit from global research without financial barriers.

2.4 Supporting Ethical and Transparent Scholarship

The journal enforces strict ethical standards, encouraging originality, transparency, repeatability, and academic integrity. This includes clear policies on plagiarism, conflicts of interest, and responsible data handling.
