An enormous amount of work goes into publishing a scholarly journal, and we are pleased to highlight this year’s team. With thanks for all the efforts that have helped secure FBR’s current impact factor of 5.212, its ranking as 22 out of 152 in the Business Category for Journal Citation Report (Clarivate Analytics 2020), and more than 155,000 downloads of FBR articles that occurred in 2020!
