Membership is open to organizations as well as individuals. The mission of the academy is to create, nurture, and empower a global community of scholars focused on creating, advancing, and disseminating knowledge in international business research, education, policy, and practice.[1]

AIB publishes the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS), the Journal of International Business Policy (JIBP), and the AIB Insights.

JIBS is the premier scholarly journal in the field of international business. Published since 1970, it is currently published nine times a year. It is highly rated by the Social Sciences Citation Index (2022 2-year Impact Factor: 11.6, 5-year Impact Factor: 14.6) and is one of the 50 journals used by Financial Times to determine business school rankings.[2]

JIBP is the principal outlet for theoretical and empirical research in all areas of policy that relate to international business. Published since 2008, it is currently published four times a year. The journal announced in May 2021 its addition to Emerging Citation Sources Index (ECSI).[3] It received its first impact factor in 2022 (2-year Impact Factor: 7.9).

AIB Insights is an open access journal and provides an outlet for short (around 2500 words), interesting, topical, current and thought-provoking articles.
