For researchers in Economics, Management, and Business, the pressure to publish in Scopus-indexed venues is intense. Standard journals often have review cycles extending 6-12 months. However, selecting International Conferences with established journal partnerships or indexed proceedings can drastically reduce this timeline to 3-5 months.
For 2026, we have identified the most efficient channels for rapid dissemination of economic and management research.
1. ICBER 2026 - The Broad-Spectrum Choice

Tips for Faster Publication
• Check "Special Issues": Many conferences negotiate "Special Issues" with journals. Submitting to the conference is your ticket into these fast-track issues.
• Formatting Matters: To avoid administrative delays (desk rejection), ensure your manuscript strictly adheres to the template (usually ACM or IEEE style) before submission.
• Early Round Submission: Most 2026 conferences have multiple submission rounds. Submitting in Round 1 (often late 2025 or early 2026) guarantees the earliest possible notification date.
