Ari Van Assche, Best Reviewer at the Journal of International Business Studies
June 10, 2024
Professor Ari Van Assche from the Department of International Business has been named Best Reviewer by the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS).
Ari Van Assche has been collaborating with JIBS since 2015, primarily as a member of the editorial review board. His role involves reviewing and commenting on manuscripts submitted by other researchers who would like to get their paper published in the journal.
“I am incredibly honored to receive such a distinction from the best journal in the field of international business.”
Mr. Van Assche’s dedication to the journal, which was reflected in the rigor and quality of his reviews over the past year, was the reason for this honor.
The prestigious academic journal had three main selection criteria:
- The quality of each review.
- The speed with which the reviews were submitted.
- The total number of reviews and/or guest editor assignments that were carried out.
The award will be presented to Professor Van Assche at the Academy of International Business Conference (AIB 2024), which will take place from July 2 to 6 in Seoul, South Korea.
