The Journal of Evolutionary Studies in Business (JESB), co-initiated by researchers from the Universitat de Barcelona, reached a new achievement as it has been approved for inclusion in the European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences (ERIH PLUS). This event marks a turning point for the Journal as it enhances its visibility on the international research scene and is with no doubt a recognition of the quality work carried by the JESB.

The journal was granted inclusion in ERIH PLUS after it successfully passed the approval procedure. The experts’ evaluation was based on six criteria, such as the implementation of procedures for external peer review, the existence of an academic editorial board and the diversity of authors’ professional background.

ERIH PLUS was created and developed by European researchers under the coordination of the Standing Committee for the Humanities (SCH) of the European Science Foundation (ESF). It was established in 2008 and has since become the most highly valued reference index within the European Union. Its main aim is to enhance global visibility of high quality research in the humanities and social sciences published in academic journals in various European languages all over Europe. The index enables researchers to better understand and promote the national and international importance of their research.
