Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

Scope: Manuscripts must address regional economics, business and management, entrepreneurship, MSME development, finance, accounting, public policy, or socioeconomic development, with a clear scholarly contribution and particular relevance to West Java or Indonesian regional contexts where appropriate.

Language and structure: Manuscripts must be written in clear English and normally include title, author information and affiliations, abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review or conceptual foundation, method or review procedure, results or analysis, discussion, conclusion, declarations, and references. Conceptual and review articles must explain their source-selection and synthesis procedures transparently.

Formatting: Authors must use the current JESOCIN template. Titles, tables, figures, citations, and references must be complete and consistent. References should follow APA style and include DOI or stable links when available.

Research integrity: Submissions must be original, not simultaneously submitted elsewhere, and approved by all listed authors. Authors must disclose funding, conflicts of interest, ethical approval where applicable, data availability, and any material use of generative AI in preparing the manuscript. AI tools may not be listed as authors.

Submission and review: Manuscripts are submitted through the OJS platform. Editors conduct an initial screening before assigning eligible manuscripts to qualified reviewers. Acceptance is based on scholarly merit and completion of the editorial process, not payment or publication-slot availability.

Publication schedule: JESOCIN publishes twice a year, in June and December, beginning consistently with the December 2026 publication during the 2026 transition.
