Structure
JEB has restrictions on the length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive. The text, therefore, has a minimum of only 4,000 words and does not exceed approximately 6,000 words. Manuscripts should be written and typed in English. All manuscripts should contain at least 3 keywords; and have an abstract of from 150 to 250 words.
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to “the text”. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Methodology
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. It is similar for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Essential title page
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, references should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author (s) and year (s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The abstract must have a limit of 150-250 words.
Writing an abstract can be difficult because you are tasked with condensing tons of work into such a small amount of space. Remember the abstracts you have ever read? What made you read the papers? What made you not to read the papers? Ask yourself these questions when writing an abstract.
When writing an abstract, you should focus on:
Tips for writing an abstract
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a minimum of 3 keywords, and avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, “and”, “of”).
Abbreviations
Abbreviations must be defined at their first mention there and ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
Acknowledgments
Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. List here those individuals who provided help during the research.
Math formulae
Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Footnotes
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the article by using the automatic function of creating footnotes at the end of a page. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Artworks
Tables
References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list, they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as “in press” implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Reference links
Increased discoverability of research and high-quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year, and pagination may prevent link creation. When copying references, please be careful as they may already contain errors. Use of the DOI is highly encouraged.
A DOI is guaranteed never to change, so you can use it as a permanent link to any electronic article. An example of a citation using DOI for an article not yet in an issue is:
Buckley, P. J., Tian, X. (2017). Internalization Theory and the Performance of Emerging-market Multinational Enterprises. International Business Review, 26(5), 976-990. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ibusrev.2017.03.005
Reference webs
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given.
How should a manuscript be styled?
JEB applies the referencing style of APA. For more details, please see http://www.apastyle.org/
Text: Indicate the author name (s) and publication year (s) in parentheses.
Example: “... as demonstrated (Buckley and Tian, 2017). Barkema and Vermeulen (1998) obtained a different result...”
References: The list of references is prioritized in alphabetical order, then in chronological order if necessary. Multiple documents from the same author(s) within the same year must be identified by the letters “a”, “b”, “c”… after the year of publication. Vietnamese documents must be translated into English.

Reference management software
JEB appreciates popular reference management software programs such as Mendeley, Zotero, Citavi, EndNote, the Citations & Bibliography function in Word... When using these software programs, the author only selects the appropriate referencing style of APA when writing his/her manuscript, then the citations and bibliographies are automatically formatted according to the journal's specifications.
