**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
To advance the education of the public in general (and particularly amongst academic researchers) on publishing research in journals of business, management and associated social sciences, and to promote that research where possible for the public benefit and to support and encourage the education of young researchers, early and later career academics wherever they may live or work, in the development, composition and publishing of their research papers in reputable journals.
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission’s Guidance on the public benefit when exercising any powers or duties in public and especially during trustee meetings. The charity was set up to advance the education of the general public but particularly the education of young business and management researchers, in the complex development and operation of publishing research into the public domain via top-tier journals produced by the leading publishers. To advance this general objective particular attention and activities have been devoted to enhancing and extending the training and education of young and early career researchers wherever they may live and work, regardless of their gender, faith, income, or status. The publication of highlevel leading-edge business and management research contributes to the more efficient operation and productive management of all kinds of organisations (whether for-profit or not-for profit, public or private) which in turn generates employment and GDP growth. The impact of business and management research is incalculable but known without question to have positive societal benefits. The trustees further the charity’s purpose for the public benefit by raising public awareness through periodically setting up and running workshops, contributing to the work of COPE (The Committee on Publication Ethics) and communicating the value to society of business and management research however obscure or distant this may seem at first glance.
