Description

Aims and Scope
Economics, Management and Sustainability is a peer-reviewed, Gold Open Access journal that publishes original, high-quality research and development in the areas of economics, management, and sustainability and aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Established in 2016 by the Scientific Platform “SciView.Net”.

Economics, Management and Sustainability is a scientific journal that publishes research articles and studies in the fields of economics, management, and sustainability. The uniqueness of this journal can be attributed to several factors, including:

Focus on sustainability: The journal is particularly focused on sustainability, which sets it apart from other economics and management journals. It covers a wide range of sustainability topics, including sustainable development, corporate sustainability, sustainable supply chain management, and green accounting.
Interdisciplinary approach: Another unique feature of the journal is its interdisciplinary approach, which encourages research collaboration across different fields. The journal welcomes submissions from scholars and researchers in economics, management, environmental studies, social sciences, and other related fields.
International scope: The journal has a broad international scope, publishing research from scholars and researchers from all around the world. This helps to promote diversity and inclusion in the academic community.
Open-access: The journal is an open-access journal, which means that all articles published in the journal are freely available online to readers. This is an important feature that allows for greater dissemination of research and wider access to knowledge.

Overall, the unique combination of focus on sustainability, interdisciplinary approach, international scope, and open-access publication makes the Economics, Management and Sustainability a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in the fields of economics, management, and sustainability.

The journal covers a wide range of subject areas in economics, management, and sustainable development, with an emphasis on topics that contribute to achieving the goals of sustainable development. These subject areas may include, but are not limited to:

Sustainable finance and investment
Sustainable supply chain management
Sustainable marketing and consumer behavior
Circular economy and resource management
Corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting
Environmental economics and policy
Social entrepreneurship and innovation for sustainability
Sustainable urban and regional development
Sustainable agriculture and rural development
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Energy and sustainable development
Gender and sustainability
Health and sustainability
Sustainable tourism
Sustainable transport and mobility
Sustainable water management and sanitation
and others

This list is not exhaustive and other subject areas that align with the goals of sustainable development may also be considered for publication in the journal.

The goals of the scientific journal correspond to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The editors of the scientific journal support authors from developing countries, as solving the problems of sustainable development for such countries is gaining more and more importance.

We are convinced that the authors can become catalysts, agents of change, activists and reformers in their countries and regions, and their work will contribute to the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals.

Based on the journal's focus on economics, management, and sustainability, some topics that are most suitable for the journal and correspond to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are:

Sustainable business practices (SDG 8, 9, 12, 13, 15): This includes topics such as sustainable supply chain management, sustainable production, and environmentally conscious business practices. Articles focusing on sustainable business practices can contribute to SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
Corporate social responsibility (SDG 8, 10, 16): This includes topics such as ethical business practices, social and environmental reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Articles focusing on corporate social responsibility can contribute to SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
Sustainable development and economic growth (SDG 1, 8): This includes topics such as poverty reduction, economic development, and income inequality. Articles focusing on sustainable development and economic growth can contribute to SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
Environmental economics (SDG 12, 13, 14, 15): This includes topics such as natural resource management, pollution reduction, and ecosystem services. Articles focusing on environmental economics can contribute to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
Social entrepreneurship (SDG 1, 8, 10): This includes topics such as poverty alleviation, community development, and social impact. Articles focusing on social entrepreneurship can contribute to SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

These topics are not exhaustive, but they provide a general idea of the types of articles that would fit well within the journal's scope and align with the UN SDGs.

Article types:

Papers. Reports of original research work.
Design notes. Brief contributions on current design, development and application work; not normally more than 2500 words (3 journal pages), including descriptions of apparatus or techniques developed for a specific purpose, important experimental or theoretical points and novel technical solutions to commonly encountered problems.
Rapid communications. Brief, urgent announcements of significant advances or preliminary accounts of new work, not more than 3500 words (4 journal pages). The most important criteria for acceptance of a rapid communication are novel and significant. For these articles authors must state briefly, in a covering letter, exactly why their works merit rapid publication.
Review articles. These are intended to summarize accepted practice and report on recent progress in selected areas. Such articles are generally commissioned from experts in various field s by the Editorial Board, but others wishing to write a review article may submit an outline for preliminary consideration.

Ethics & Disclosures

The journal is committed to maintaining the highest level of integrity in the content published.

Content published in this journal is peer reviewed.

The journal has adopted clear and rigorous ethical guidelines for best working practices. It follows guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and abides by its Code of Conduct in dealing with potential cases of misconduct. It adheres to the principles outlined below, which have been devised to ensure accurate, trustworthy, transparent and efficient publication of scientific papers.

Corrections and Retractions

JEMS publishes corrections, retractions, and expressions of concern as appropriate, and as quickly as possible. We follow the COPE guidelines where applicable.
A notice of correction will be issued by JEMS to document and correct substantial errors that appear in online articles when these errors significantly affect the content or understanding of the work reported (e.g., error in data presentation or analysis) or when the error affects the publication's metadata (e.g., misspelling of an author's name). In these cases, JEMS will publish a correction that will be linked to the original article.
In very rare cases, we may choose to correct the article itself and re-post it online. If that course is taken, a correction notice will also be created to document the changes to the original article.
Authors who wish to alert JEMS to a situation where a correction may be warranted are requested to contact us with the relevant details (journal, full citation of the article, and description of the error) at: corrections@sciview.net
Authors are encouraged to post comments to their articles to note typographical errors, and other problems that do not significantly affect the scientific integrity of the work.

Conflicts of Interest

Economics, Management and Sustainability requires all authors, editors, members and reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest that may be inherent in the submissions. Financial relationships, personal relationships, academic relationship, intellectual passion, etc., are usually considered to be the most important conflicts of interest. Such arrangements must be disclosed where there is any risk of a perception of compromise. The policy of the journal is that the judgment or decision taken on submitted manuscript should not be compromised or affected by any conflict of interest. The corresponding author must ensure that all authors have been asked to disclose any conflict of interest. Reviewers must disqualify themselves from reviewing specific manuscript if they believe that they are involved in any conflict of interest. If a potential bias exists, editors and editorial staff should withdraw themselves from handling the paper.

When a conflict of interest is disclosed either by the author or editor, a footnote describing the conflict must be included with the published article. All sources of funding must be disclosed at the end of the main text under a separate heading ‘Funding’. Authors, referees, or editors who have deliberately or recklessly failed to disclose conflicts of interest may receive sanctions, including being banned from publishing in Economics, Management and Sustainability for a period of time.

Editors, authors, and peer reviewers have a responsibility to disclose interests that might appear to affect their ability to present or review data objectively. These include relevant financial (for example, patent ownership, stock ownership, consultancies, speaker's fees), personal, political, intellectual, or religious interests. The editors of JEMS require statements about conflicts of interest from authors. Editors should explain that these statements should provide information about financial (for example, patent ownership, stock ownership, consultancies, speaker's fees), personal, political, intellectual, or religious interests relevant to the area of research or discussion.

Editorial independence

Editorial independence is respected. Journal publishers do not interfere with editorial decisions. The relationship between the editor and the journal publisher is set out in a formal contract and an appeal mechanism for disputes is established. Editorial Centre of Sociological Research, as the publisher of JEMS, works with the journal editors to set journal policies appropriately and aim to meet those policies, particularly with respect to: editorial independence; research ethics(including confidentiality, consent, and the special requirements for research in social sciences); authorship; transparency and integrity (conflicts of interest, research funding, reporting standards); peer review (for further information concerning responsibilities in relation to peer review process.

Accuracy

The editors of JEMS have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the material they publish. JEMS encourages authors and readers to inform them if they discover errors in published work. We publish corrections if errors are discovered that could affect the interpretation of data or information presented in an article. Corrections arising from errors within an article (by authors or journals) are distinguishable from retractions and statements of concern relating to misconduct.

Academic debate

JEMS encourages academic debate. JEMS encourages correspondence commenting on published items and should always invite authors to respond to any correspondence before publication. However, authors do not have a right to veto unfavourable comments about their work and they may choose not to respond to criticisms.

Responsible publication practices

Editors of JEMS pursue cases of suspected misconduct that become apparent during the peer-review and publication processes. In instances of confirmed misconduct, editors may consider imposing sanctions on the authors at fault for a period of time. Sanctions must be applied consistently. Before imposing sanctions, editors formally define the conditions in which they will apply (and remove) sanctions, and the processes they will use to do this.

Basic aspects of transparency

Readers have a right to know who funded a research project or the publication of a document. Research funders should be listed on all research papers. Funding for any type of publication, for example, by a commercial company, charity or government department, should be stated within the publication. Other sources of support for publications should be clearly identified in the manuscript, usually in an acknowledgment.

Authors of the Papers

The list of authors should accurately reflect who did the work. All published work should be attributed to one or more authors. JEMS instructions for authors explain the concepts of academic authorship, setting out which contributions do and do not qualify for authorship. The editors of JEMS ask for a declaration that all authors meet the journal's criteria for authorship and that nobody who meets these criteria has been omitted from the list (Submission Preparation Checklist https://jems.sciview.net/index.php/jsdtl/about/submissions). If an authorship dispute emerges after publication (for example, somebody contacts the editor claiming they should have been an author of a published paper, or requesting that their name be withdrawn from a paper), the editors of JEMS contact the corresponding author and, where possible, the other authors to establish the veracity of the case.

Publication of papers that have not been published before

JEMS considers only work that has not been published elsewhere. One reason for this is that the scientific literature can be skewed by redundant publication, with important consequences, for example, if results are inadvertently included more than once into meta-analyses. JEMS asks authors for a declaration that the submitted work and its essential substance have not previously been published and are not being considered for publication elsewhere (Authors Guidelines). If a primary research report is published and later found to be redundant (i.e. has been published before), the editor contacts the authors and considers publishing a notice of redundant publication. The editors of JEMS have a right to demand original work and to question authors about whether opinion pieces (for example, editorials, letters, non-systematic reviews) have been published before.

Copyright Policy

Authors retain copyright to their work and are asked to grant SciView.Net the right to publish the article as the final, definitive and citable Version of Scholarly Record. In turn, we will make the article in its entirety freely available on our online platform with no subscription fee, article pay-to-view fee or any other form of access fee, and with no publication embargo. We use the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license on articles published in the SciView Series. Authors retain copyright and allow anyone else to distribute, remix and build upon their work; commercial reuse is allowed. Anyone doing so must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that the authors endorse them or their use of the work).

For anyone wishing to re-use an author’s work, we require:

the full article citation (as indicated in the PDF of each article) to be included, unchanged, with the reused article or derivative work
for the original license terms to be made clear and that the work is previously published in an open access journal and freely available
for the DOI of the version of record to be included

For more information on the Creative Commons Attribution licenses take a look at the human readable summary, or the full legal code.

Plagiarism and copyright

JEMS editors and readers have a right to expect that submitted work is the author's own, that it has not been plagiarized (i.e. taken from other authors without permission, if permission is required) and that copyright has not been breached (for example, if figures or tables are reproduced). We ask authors to declare that the work reported is their own and that they are the copyright owner. Papers are revised with Similarity Check to avoid plagiarism. In case of plagiarism, the author could state the situation through the e-mail: editor.jems@sciview.net.

Protecting intellectual property

JEMS authors have a right to protect their intellectual property. JEMS licenses content from authors, they have the copyright of their papers. The authors may transfer the copyright from their papers to the editors of JEMS.

Peer reviewer conduct and intellectual property

Authors are entitled to expect that peer reviewers or other individuals privy to the work an author submits to JEMS will not steal their research ideas or plagiarize their work. JEMS explains to peer reviewers that material is in confidence until it has not been published. Editors of JEMS protect peer reviewers from authors and, even if peer reviewer identities are revealed, should discourage authors from contacting peer reviewers directly, especially if misconduct is suspected.

About peer-review

The peer-review process

Each JEMS title offers the highest standards of peer review, overseen by expert editors and editorial boards. We’re proud of the friendly and constructive approach we take with all our potential authors. Our editorial teams evaluate submissions on the grounds of relevance, sound methodology, and clarity, rather than the predicted level of future importance.
Our peer-review process is double blind.

Double blind review

Both the reviewer and the author are anonymous.
Author anonymity prevents any reviewer bias, for example based on an author's country of origin or previous controversial work.
Articles written by prestigious or renowned authors are considered on the basis of the content of their papers, rather than their reputation.
Reviewers can often identify the author through their writing style, subject matter or self-citation.

Peer reviewer selection and performance

Editors of JEMS have a responsibility to ensure a high standard of objective, unbiased, and timely peer review. Editors monitor the performance of peer reviewers/editorial board members and record the quality and timeliness of their reviews. Peer reviewers who repeatedly produce poor quality, tardy, abusive or unconstructive reviews are not used again. Editors of JEMS encourage peer reviewers to identify if they have a conflict of interest with the material they are being asked to review, and editors ask that peer reviewers decline invitations requesting peer review where any circumstances might prevent them producing fair peer review.

Timing of publication

Editors of JEMS aim to ensure timely peer review and publication for papers they receive, especially where, to the extent that this can be predicted, findings may have important implications. Authors should be aware that priority publication is most likely for papers that, as judged by the journal's editorial staff, may have important implications. The timing of publication may also be influenced by themed issues or if editors group submissions on a similar topic which, inevitably, prevents them from being published in the order that articles were accepted.

Appeals

Authors have a right to appeal editorial decisions. JEMS establishes a mechanism for authors to appeal peer review decisions. Editors mediate all exchanges between authors and peer reviewers during the peer-review process. If agreement cannot be reached, editors consider inviting comments from additional peer reviewer(s), if the editor feels that this would be helpful. All the files related to each paper to avoid academic misconduct are kept properly at SciView.NET (OJS) including author submission, review decision form, and the copyright form.

Open Access Policy

Open access is an ongoing publication practice which differs in the way traditional methods of publishing papers to the public get submitted, reviewed, authenticated and finally published. In Open Access publication model neither readers nor a reader’s institution are charged for access to articles or other resources. Users are free to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles without requiring a subscription to the journal in which these articles are published.

Article Publishing Charges (APCs)

Submit your article today and gain worldwide visibility for your article.

From May 2022, the editorial board introduced an APC. This is due to the war in Ukraine, which was unleashed by the russian federation.

All articles published in the Economics, Management and Sustainability (ISSN 2520-6303) are published in full open access (GOA). In order to provide free access to readers, and to cover the costs of peer review, copyediting, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, an article processing charge (APC) of 120 US Dollars (USD) applies to papers accepted after peer review. In addition to US Dollars (USD), we also accept payment in Euros (EUR).

Local VAT or Sales Tax will be added if applicable.

Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use SciView's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. Note that many national and private research funding organizations and universities explicitly cover APCs for articles resulting from funded research projects.

Discounts or cancellations of APCs are also available to authors from low-income countries. To do this, contact the Editor-in-Chief (editor.jems@sciview.net).

For authors from low- and middle-income countries, financial assistance may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Applications submitted before article submission are assessed by the Editor-in-Chief based on the quality of the research article and the authors’ ability to pay.

The request for financial assistance is considered only when it is made at the time of submission of the article. Any request regarding the same after processing of article will be declined.

Avoiding Surcharges from Extensive English Editing on Submitted Articles

Submitted papers should be written in good English. Authors may use SciView's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. If you use an alternative service that provides a confirmation certificate, please send a copy to the Editorial Office. Authors from economically developing countries or nations should consider registration with AuthorAid (https://www.authoraid.info/en/). AuthorAID is a free pioneering global network that provides support, mentoring, resources, and training for researchers in low and middle-income countries (https://www.authoraid.info/en/about/).

Funding of Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Many funding agencies explicitly allow the use of research grants for the payment of Article Processing Charges (APCs) to publish in open access journals.

In addition, numerous institutions have created central funds to cover APCs.

Make sure to check with your institution whether Gold OA publication costs are supported or not.
