World's first in management & commerce publishing

Blockchain-Verified Article Lifecycle

IJMCBR is the first management and commerce journal to record the complete lifecycle of every article on an immutable ledger — making our timestamps independently verifiable and impossible to alter after the fact.

Blockchain Article Lifecycle

Every article has a public lifecycle page. Every event is hashed and written to an immutable ledger — a tamper-proof record no one, not even the publisher, can edit retroactively.

Submission date & time, anchored on-chain
Plagiarism result & similarity score
Editor assignment & profile
Reviewer count, type & duration
Revision rounds
Acceptance date & rationale
Publication date & DOI activation
Views, downloads, citations, Altmetric

Why it matters. Predatory journals fake fast timelines and rubber-stamp reviews. With blockchain anchoring, a 14-day timeline is not a claim — it's a proof.

Public Indexing Transparency

Every journal has a public indexing dashboard showing exactly where it stands in every database pipeline — including the failures most publishers hide.

Active indexing with verification links
Applications submitted, with dates
Under-review status & windows
Rejections — published, with reasons
Scopus / WoS / PubMed eligibility
Impact-factor pathway milestones
Geographic author distribution
Editorial board international mix

Why it matters. Most publishers hide indexing failures or falsely claim listings. We disclose everything — including rejections. Authors know exactly what they get.

How it works

At each lifecycle event, the platform computes a cryptographic hash of the event record — timestamp, action and verifiable metadata — and commits it to the ledger. Anyone can later verify the published timeline was not back-dated, edited, or fabricated by checking the on-chain hash against the displayed record.
