Ethics
This journal is committed to maintaining high standards of integrity in the research it publishes and to promoting ethical practices throughout the editorial and peer-review process.
The publication of peer-reviewed articles plays a central role in the advancement of knowledge in international economics. It is not only a means of communication, but also a reflection of the quality and reliability of the authors' work, and, by extension, the institutions supporting them. For this reason, all parties involved in the publication process—authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher—are expected to act with honesty, fairness, and respect.
The journal has a competing interest policy in place. Authors are required to declare any potential conflicts of interest at the time of submission, including financial, personal, or professional relationships that could be perceived to influence the content of their manuscript.
All manuscripts are subject to a rigorous double-anonymous peer review process, aimed at ensuring an objective and impartial assessment of submitted work. Reviewers are expected to provide constructive feedback and maintain confidentiality throughout the process.
Authors must submit original work that has not been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The journal does not tolerate plagiarism or any form of academic misconduct. All submissions may be checked using plagiarism detection software. In cases of suspected misconduct, the editorial team will follow recognized international guidelines, including the COPE Core Practices and Best Practice Guidelines .
Authors are responsible for adhering to applicable ethical standards, particularly in studies involving human participants, personal data, or sensitive economic or social information. Where relevant, informed consent and appropriate ethical approvals must be documented. Editors and reviewers are also expected to act in accordance with COPE’s principles, particularly regarding confidentiality, impartiality, and transparency.
The journal is committed to fostering a respectful academic environment. Discrimination, harassment, or retaliation of any kind will not be tolerated.
