Vie et Sciences de l'Entreprise
VSE is the official journal published by the National Association of Doctors of Economics and Management Sciences since 1960.
VSE Journal (Life & Business Sciences) VSE was published under the title "Life & Economic Sciences" until fall 2009. The title Life & Economic Sciences was replaced by Life & Business Sciences in winter 2009.
Since then, the VSE journal has focused mainly on publishing articles in business and management sciences (currently 90% of articles), with no more than 10% of articles in economics, given the journal's history and insofar as these economics articles are closely related to business sciences.
The organization of university research by academic disciplines has promoted a high degree of specialization at the expense of cross-disciplinary work. We want to offer our readers a balance between articles dealing with the various disciplines of management science and economics. That is why VSE features articles on finance, human resources, sustainable development, strategy and organization, energy transition, and, more recently, climatology.
In 25 years, this management science journal has achieved a high level of quality by remaining independent and practicing double peer review. VSE is primarily a French language journal, but 20% of its articles are written in English. It is widely recognized by the international management science community. It has been ranked fourth by FNEGE since 2020, and its articles are read on every continent (Source: Cairn.info).
VSE has been referenced by the Econlit economic database since 2010.

Mission and objectives
The journal enables researchers in management and management sciences to communicate their research and submit it to scientific criticism on managerial practices and their developments, integrating the fields of CSR and, more recently, the impact of climate change on businesses.
It focuses on economic actors involved in the various disciplines of management science and management.
Target audience
While it is primarily aimed at researchers, teachers, and students, it also targets businesses and institutions (executives, entrepreneurs, association leaders, regional actors, and public institutions) that want to keep pace with economic and societal developments (SDGs: Sustainable Development Goals).
Scientific requirements and formats
Articles published in VSE adhere to the most rigorous scientific standards in terms of conceptual approach, use of appropriate theories, and methodology. Theoretical articles are illustrated with practical examples. Some articles are specifically geared toward use in business or government.
The journal offers two publication formats: _
- Articles with strong research content, supported by a scientific approach with significant data sampling, are classified in the research section of VSE.
- Articles presenting analyses based on small samples (fewer than 100 respondents) are classified in the Forum section. It should be noted that articles classified in the Forum section are highly appreciated by businesses as they are generally easier to read than articles with more sophisticated levels of theorization and statistical analysis.
International Reach
The VSE journal is predominantly French speaking, but its readership is international and not limited to French speakers (Cairn statistics: 17% of readers are non-French speakers).
The journal welcomes international researchers and is actively developing its international reach. Several special issues have been edited by guest editors.
The journal is indexed in EBSCO, PROQUEST, and CAIRN, and is seeking to be listed in SCOPUS.
Recognition and rankings
The journal is ranked 4th by FNEGE and appears in international rankings through its listing in the EBSCO and PROQUEST databases. 540 of its articles have been cited 352 times, and the number of citations is constantly increasing. It has been viewed more than 1,600,000 times on the Cairn website.
