Call for Papers

Studies and Scientific Researches. Economics Edition (SCECO) invites researchers, academics, and practitioners to submit original manuscripts for publication in its upcoming issues.

As an open-access, peer-reviewed journal focused on economics, business, and public policy — with an emphasis on emerging and transition economies, particularly Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) — SCECO welcomes contributions that address both theoretical developments and applied research with clear practical relevance.

Current Thematic Interests

We particularly encourage submissions aligned with the following emerging and interdisciplinary areas:

  • Post-crisis economic transformation — analysis of structural changes and policy responses following financial, health, or geopolitical crises.
  • Digital ecosystems and smart public policy — how digital infrastructures, platforms, and innovation ecosystems shape policy design, public services, and socio-economic performance.
  • Circular economy and just transition — sustainability models, green innovation, and equitable transition strategies in economic systems.
  • AI, big data, and decision-making in governance — how emerging technologies shape public administration, evidence-based policymaking, and strategic management.
  • Comparative research in Central and Eastern Europe — cross-country analyses, regional diagnostics, and case studies on institutional reform, development paths, or integration dynamics.

We also welcome interdisciplinary papers at the intersection of economics with technology, sustainability, sociology, and law, provided they offer clear academic and policy-oriented insights and relevance to the journal's scope.

How to Submit

Manuscripts may be submitted at any time via the journal's online platform, prepared according to the Author Guidelines (APA 7th edition; double-blind peer review). Submissions are accepted on a continuous basis and assigned to the next available issue upon acceptance; accepted articles may also appear as Online First, with a DOI, ahead of issue assignment.
