If you have ever searched for “where to submit business‑technology research papers” or “journals accepting papers in innovation and digital business,” you know how hard it can be to find a venue that appreciates qualitative and mixed‑methods research in these fields.

The London Institute of Business and Technology (LIBT) is addressing this need with the launch of the British Research Review (BRR). BRR is a new open‑access, peer‑reviewed journal that seeks to publish insightful studies on business, innovation, entrepreneurship and technology. The first Call for Papers opens on January 15 2026.

Why BRR?

BRR is designed for researchers, doctoral students and professionals who want to explore how organisations respond to change in an increasingly complex and interconnected digital environment. By focusing on qualitative and mixed‑methods research, the journal aims to:

• Bring depth and clarity to discussions about digital transformation and organisational adaptation.
• Highlight new business models, strategic renewal and innovative practices.
• Support studies on entrepreneurship, start‑up ecosystems and founder leadership.
• Examine technology’s influence on work, management and society.
• Feature research on artificial intelligence, data practices and emerging digital tools.

The journal will also consider papers that address other topics in business and technology, provided they offer thoughtful and rigorous analysis.

What Kind of Work Can You Submit?

BRR accepts a variety of paper types, including:

• Empirical studies that collect and analyse qualitative or mixed‑method data to shed light on a specific phenomenon.
• Conceptual papers that develop theories or frameworks to understand trends in business and technology.
• Case studies that dive into the experience of a single organisation, project or industry to extract broader insights.
• Reviews that synthesise existing literature and point to future research directions.

If you have a study that analyses current trends and aims to shape future academic and professional conversations, BRR could be the right venue for you.

How to Prepare for the 2026 Call

Here’s a simple checklist to help you get ready for the submission window:

• Align your work with BRR’s focus. Make sure your research falls within the journal’s scope on business, innovation, entrepreneurship or technology, with an emphasis on qualitative or mixed‑methods approaches.
• Ensure methodological rigour. Highlight how your study design, data collection and analysis support your conclusions.
• Provide a clear contribution. Explain how your work advances understanding, challenges existing ideas or offers practical implications.
• Follow the guidelines. Visit the BRR website to read the author instructions, formatting requirements and submission process.

The submission portal will open on January 15 2026, and the journal will continue to accept papers for its first volume on a rolling basis.
