Abstract The editorial article celebrates the twentieth anniversary of Studies in Business and Economics (SBE) by examining the journal’s development, increased visibility, and scholarly contributions over the past twenty years. Since its inception, SBE has undergone a significant transformation, moving from its origins as a primarily regional academic outlet to establishing itself as a recognized international publication within the broader business and economics research community. This evolution is evidenced by several key factors. First, the journal’s strategic inclusion in major academic indexes has played a crucial role in raising its profile and extending its reach to a global audience. Second, SBE’s commitment to rigorous editorial standards has helped ensure the quality and credibility of the research it publishes. The implementation of a robust open-access policy has further expanded the journal’s accessibility, allowing a wider readership to engage with its content. Finally, the diversification of SBE’s research portfolio reflects both the academic mission of its host institution and the ongoing changes in global scholarly publishing, positioning the journal as a dynamic and responsive platform for business and economics scholarship.
