International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship Upgraded to B on the ABDC Journal Quality List

The International Journal of Gender & Entrepreneurship (IJGE) is pleased to share that the journal has been upgraded to a B ranking on the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List.

The ABDC Journal Quality List is a widely recognized international benchmark used by business schools and scholars to assess the quality and impact of academic journals. This upgrade reflects IJGE’s continued commitment to publishing rigorous, theoretically grounded, and globally relevant research that advances scholarship on gender, entrepreneurship, and inclusive economic development.

This achievement is the result of the collective efforts of our editorial team, action editors, reviewers, and authors, whose dedication to developmental and high-quality scholarship has strengthened the journal’s intellectual contribution and standing within the field. We are especially grateful for the care, rigor, and scholarly judgment that our editors and reviewers bring to the review process.

As Editor-in-Chief, I would like to thank the IJGE community for their continued engagement and support. We look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to publish research that pushes theoretical boundaries, challenges dominant assumptions, and broadens conversations around gender and entrepreneurship across diverse global contexts.
