Dirassat Journal Economic Issue (DJEI) promotes equitable global scholarly communication without financial barriers. The journal operates strictly under the Diamond Open Access model (completely free for authors and readers) and enforces rigorous research funding disclosure standards aligned with COPE Core Practices and international open scholarship mandates.

1. Zero Article Processing Charges (No APCs)

2. Research Funding & Grant Disclosure Policy (COPE Standard)

To ensure complete scientific transparency and avoid potential conflicts of interest, all authors are required to disclose every source of financial and institutional support received for the research:

• Funding Bodies & Grant IDs: Authors must state the full legal name of funding organizations, research councils, universities, or laboratories, along with specific grant/project identification numbers.
• Role of the Funder: Authors must explicitly describe what role (if any) the funding sponsor played in study design, data collection, statistical analysis, interpretation, manuscript writing, or the decision to submit for publication. If the sponsor had no such involvement, this must be explicitly affirmed.
• No Funding Statement: If the study received no external financial support, authors must include the standard declaration: "This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors."

3. Compliance with Funder Open Access Mandates

Because DJEI publishes under the Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 license with zero embargo periods and permits immediate self-archiving of published PDFs in institutional repositories, our publishing framework is 100% compliant with national and international funder open access policies, including Plan S, institutional open science mandates, and national research agency regulations (e.g., DGRSDT / MESRS).

4. Article Full-Text Funding Statement

Every article published in PDF format must feature a dedicated section entitled "Funding" immediately preceding the reference list, ensuring full compliance with COPE criteria:

5. Institutional Sponsorship & Editorial Independence

DJEI is permanently funded and hosted by the Faculty of Economics, Commercial and Management Sciences at Amar Telidji University of Laghouat, Algeria. This sustained public sponsorship guarantees that editorial acceptance decisions depend solely on academic merit, methodological validity, and theoretical contribution, completely segregated from financial barriers.

6. Fee Waiver & Reduced Fees Policy

Because Dirassat Journal Economic Issue (DJEI) operates entirely under a Diamond Open Access publishing model with zero charges for submission, processing, or publication (0 APCs), all authors are automatically granted a 100% fee waiver. Consequently, no separate application for fee reductions or waivers is required, ensuring that lack of institutional funding or geographic location never restricts a researcher's ability to publish with us.
