Journal of Construction Business and Management

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Construction Business and Management (JCBM) is an open-access journal published bi-annually by the University of Cape Town Libraries, South Africa. The journal is indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals ( DOAJ ) and is hosted by the Construction Business and Management Research Group of the University of Cape Town. The journal explores the experience of construction industry stakeholders and trends in the global system. It aims to publish peer-reviewed and high-quality papers emanating from original theory-based research, a rigorous literature review, conceptual papers, the development of theories, case studies, and practical notes. The journal also welcomes papers with diverse methodological approaches, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. Contributions are expected from academia, public administrators, professionals in the public sector and private practice (such as contracting organisations and consulting firms) and other related bodies and institutions (such as financial, legal and NGOs).

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
