Introduction

The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Economic Issues (IJEEI) is an annual, double-blind peer-reviewed journal published by King’s College, Kathmandu. Established in 2017, the journal provides a scholarly platform for rigorous empirical, theoretical, and applied research in entrepreneurship, education, economics, and related fields. IJEEI brings together scholars, practitioners, researchers, and academic leaders from Nepal and beyond as contributors, reviewers, and advisors, fostering meaningful dialogue across disciplines and contexts.

Rationale

IJEEI is grounded in the belief that academic institutions have a responsibility to foster critical inquiry, challenge established assumptions, and generate knowledge that responds to contemporary economic, educational, and entrepreneurial challenges. The journal particularly recognizes the need for rigorous and contextually relevant research on entrepreneurship, education, and economic issues in Nepal and seeks to contribute to addressing this research gap. Through the publication and dissemination of methodologically rigorous, theoretically informed, and empirically grounded scholarship, IJEEI aims to strengthen the evidence base for understanding Nepal’s entrepreneurial and educational landscape while contributing to broader scholarly conversations.

Objective

The objective of IJEEI is to advance knowledge in entrepreneurship, education, economics, and related areas, with particular attention to issues relevant to Nepal and other developing economies. The journal welcomes research that examines emerging and established issues from diverse theoretical, methodological, and contextual perspectives. While Nepal remains an important geographical focus, IJEEI also welcomes research from other countries where findings offer meaningful comparative insights or contribute to understanding issues relevant to developing economies. The journal seeks to provide readers with diverse and interconnected perspectives on entrepreneurship, education, economic development, and their wider institutional and societal contexts.

Approach

IJEEI prioritizes original research that demonstrates methodological rigor, theoretical relevance, and clear empirical contribution. While the journal welcomes both primary and secondary research, it particularly encourages studies that generate or critically engage with evidence from local, indigenous, institutional, and context-specific sources.The journal welcomes contributions from established and emerging scholars alike. It seeks to provide researchers with a constructive scholarly environment in which rigorous peer review supports the development of research quality, methodological practice, and scholarly contribution.
