The success of a journal depends on every stakeholder. The continued support of editorial board members, authors, peer reviewers, readers, section editors, and the production team is necessary for continued growth. We are happy to present the December 2025 issue of the International Journal of Accounting, Business and Finance (IJABF), featuring five research papers providing systematic and empirical reviews of contemporary business management literature, focusing on the strategic impacts of entrepreneurial ecosystems, ESG and CSR practices, artificial intelligence, and green consumerism, while identifying key theoretical trends, methodological boundaries, and critical research gaps. Together, these studies make significant contributions to the accounting, business, finance, and related interdisciplinary literature. We find that 67 Scopus-indexed articles have cited papers published in the IJABF since December 2021, reflecting the journal's success in serving the scholarly society.
