About the Journal
SCECO – Studies and Scientific Researches. Economics Edition is an international, peer-reviewed, and fully open-access academic journal that publishes high-quality original research in economics, business, and public policy. The journal serves as a platform for interdisciplinary contributions that bridge the gap between theoretical insight and practical relevance, encouraging both conceptual advances and applied studies with clear societal, policy, or managerial implications.
While our scope is global, SCECO places particular emphasis on the dynamics of economic and institutional transformation in Central and Eastern Europe, including comparative analyses across post-transition economies, emerging markets, and global innovation hubs. We welcome empirical studies, policy evaluations, and theoretically grounded investigations that address topics such as economic development, digital transformation, ESG frameworks, innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurship, inclusive governance, and sustainable business strategies.
SCECO operates under a Diamond Open Access model: authors are not required to pay submission or publication fees, and all published articles are made freely available to readers around the world under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license. This model reflects our commitment to open science, academic equity, and global knowledge dissemination, ensuring that both researchers and practitioners can benefit from unrestricted access to current scientific insights.
Whether you are an author seeking a respected and transparent publishing platform, a reader exploring contemporary challenges in economics and business, or a reviewer supporting academic rigor, SCECO invites your participation in shaping a journal that values quality, accessibility, and regional relevance on an international stage.
