  1. Novelty: The study must provide a clear "gap analysis" and state its unique contribution to the existing body of knowledge.
  2. Scientific Rigor: Research designs and analytical methods must be robust, transparent, and clearly articulated.
  3. Recent Citations: Authors are encouraged to use primary sources (journal articles), with at least 80% of references published within the last 5 to 10 years.
  4. Global Relevance: While local case studies are welcomed, they should provide insights that are relevant to a broader international audience.

Editorial Note: JURNAL EKONOMIKA highly encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges the gaps between accounting, management, and economics to solve complex modern business and social problems.
