1. Manuscript Submission Overview

Manuscripts submitted to Dirassat Journal Economic Issue (DJEI) must represent original scholarship that has neither been published previously nor is currently under consideration elsewhere. In strict compliance with national regulatory frameworks (DGRSDT and MESRS), all submissions are managed exclusively through the Algerian Scientific Journals Platform (ASJP).

Note: The corresponding author assumes full administrative responsibility for the manuscript during submission. All co-authors must validate their contribution via the confirmation link sent to their institutional emails upon initial deposit.

2. Article Types & Page Restrictions

3. Accepted File Formats & Official Templates

Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively in editable Microsoft Word (.docx / .doc) format prepared strictly using the official template corresponding to the manuscript language:

4. Peer Review Process & Editorial Decision Framework

A. Initial Screening & Desk Evaluation (Stage 1): Every submitted paper undergoes preliminary evaluation by the Reading Committee and the Editor-in-Chief to verify scope conformity, template layout, co-author email approvals, and similarity index. Manuscripts failing basic standards are subjected to immediate desk rejection.

B. Double-Blind Peer Review (Stage 2): Anonymized manuscripts are evaluated by at least two independent expert reviewers within an allocated window of 30 days.

5. Manuscript Structure & Core Elements

• Front Matter: Title, Authors' full names, institutional affiliations, ORCID iDs, corresponding author email, structured abstract (150–250 words covering Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion), 3–6 keywords, and JEL Classification Codes.
• Main Text Body: Introduction, Literature Review & Hypotheses, Research Methodology (sample, measurement instruments, econometric/statistical models), Empirical Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
• Back Matter: Acknowledgments & Funding disclosures, Author Contributions statement, Research Ethics & Informed Consent statement, Data Availability Statement, Conflict of Interest declaration, and References.

6. Research Ethics, Informed Consent & Human Participants

Empirical studies involving human participants (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, behavioral economic experiments, or organizational case studies) must adhere strictly to international research integrity principles:

• Informed Consent: Authors must confirm that voluntary informed consent (written or verbal) was obtained from all participants prior to study inclusion, explicitly covering participation and data publication.
• Ethics Approval / Exemption Statement: Manuscripts reporting primary empirical data must explicitly state whether institutional ethical approval was granted (citing the Institutional Review Board / Ethics Committee name and approval ID) or provide an explicit explanation if formal approval was exempt under institutional or national guidelines.
• Data Confidentiality & Privacy: Authors must guarantee strict anonymity, privacy, and data protection for all surveyed individuals and corporate entities, ensuring no confidential or proprietary information is published without prior authorization.

7. Research Data Sharing Policy & Availability Statement

Dirassat Journal Economic Issue (DJEI) strongly supports open science principles, transparency, and reproducibility in empirical research. All empirical and quantitative manuscripts must include a Data Availability Statement located immediately before the reference list.

Authors are encouraged to deposit raw datasets in recognized open repositories (such as Mendeley Data, Harvard Dataverse, Figshare, or Zenodo) while ensuring full compliance with participant confidentiality and anonymisation constraints.

8. Research Funding Disclosure Policy

Authors must explicitly disclose all financial and institutional support received for their research. Every published article must feature a dedicated "Funding" statement immediately preceding the references:

9. Standards for Tables, Figures & Equations

A. Tables (APA Format): Tables must be editable Word tables with top, bottom, and header dividing borders only (no vertical lines).

B. Figures & Diagrams: High-resolution vector or bitmap graphics (minimum 300 DPI) placed directly after the referring paragraph, with numbering, titles, and sources positioned underneath.

C. Mathematical Equations: Must be inserted as editable text using Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType and numbered sequentially in parentheses (1), (2).

10. References & Romanization Rules (APA 7th Edition)

• References must strictly conform to the APA 7th Edition format with active digital persistent identifiers (https://doi.org/...).
• Mandatory Romanization: Non-Latin citations (e.g., Arabic references) must be fully transliterated into Latin script, accompanied by the English translation of the article/book title in square brackets [...].

11. Reviewer Suggestions & Editorial Independence

Authors must nominate two potential external reviewers during the ASJP submission stage, ensuring absence of competing interests. The editorial team retains absolute independence in selecting reviewers. Submissions authored by editorial members are processed through segregated independent workflows.

12. Special Issues Governance

Proposals for Special Issues undergo rigorous editorial board evaluation and must align directly with the journal's strategic scope. All special issue submissions are subject to the same standard double-blind peer-review procedures, ethical criteria, and editorial oversight as regular issues.
