AUTHOR SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS

I. Initial requirements: (a) Full-length papers should be 4,000-7,000 words in length; (b) Submission, processing, and online publication are free of charge; (c) Editors evaluate all manuscripts first, rejecting those that are insufficiently original, poorly written, or outside the journal’s scope. Papers meeting these criteria proceed to an in-depth review by two reviewers; (d) Upon acceptance, authors must complete and sign the VE Publishing Agreement.

II. Initial data: a) A title. Concise and informative, b) Authors' names and affiliations. Present the authors' affiliation addresses below the names and provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the e-mail address of each author, c) ORCID, d) A corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of the publishing process.

III. Abstract. A concise abstract, of about 200-250 words that includes a statement about the economic content of the paper is required. An abstract should state briefly, the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the paper, so it must be informative enough to stand alone.

IV. Keywords. Provide a maximum of 7 keywords.

V. The structure of the paper. Divide your paper into clearly defined and numbered sections. 1. Introduction. This is a mandatory section stating concisely the objectives of the paper and indicating its contribution to the economic literature. 2. Literature review. 3. Methodology. 4. Results and Discussion. This section should describe the results of the research and explore their scientific significance. 5. Conclusions.

VI. Acknowledgements. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the paper, before the references, if necessary.

VII. Stating the funding sources. List the sources of funding in accordance with the funder's requirements, if necessary.

VIII. References. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also available in the reference list and vice versa. References in the text should be numbered in order of appearance in the text (including citations in tables and legends) and listed individually at the end of the paper. Apply APA style formatting in your reference list at the end of the paper.

IX. Math formulae, tables and figures. Please submit math equations and tables as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., A/B.

X. Submission. A manuscript must be 'spell-checked' and 'grammar-checked' by the authors. Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your paper details and uploading your files. You can track the status of your submitted paper online in OJS.

XI. Open access policy. Articles are freely available to both subscribers and the wider public. For open access articles, permitted third party (re)use is defined by the Creative Commons License - Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). For non-commercial purposes, others are allowed to distribute and copy the article, and include it in a collective work, as long as they credit the author(s) and provided they do not alter or modify the text.

XII. Referees. Please submit the names and institutional e-mail addresses of several potential referees. The best referees are those who do research that is closely related to your submission.

XIII. Ethics. a) The authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study reported. b) The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. c) Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for the editorial review.

XIV. Plagiarism Policy The Virtual Economics pursues an intensive plagiarism policy. It ensures that none of the parts of the manuscript is plagiarized from other sources and proper reference is provided for all contents extracted from other sources. All the submitted papers have to pass through an initial screening and will be checked through the Plagiarism Detection Software: iThenticate and StrikePlagiarism.com. 

XV. Declaration of license grant and Author(s) declaration. Please sign the Declaration of license grant and Author(s) Declaration. It can be either emailed, with your electronic signature(s), back to editor@virtual-economics.eu or to the postal address of the journal "Virtual Economics."
