Ethical Standards

In its editorial practice, „Ekonomista” follows the guidelines specified by the Committee on Publication Ethics.

“Ekonomista” accepts submissions of original, previously unpublished scientific papers. Their assessment is carried out on the basis of their scientific merit and compliance with ethical principles regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, citizenship or political view of the author(s).
The Editorial Board takes necessary steps to counteract abuse in the publication process, in particular to eliminate such practices as plagiarism, self-plagiarism, ghost writing, and guest authorship.

The Editorial Board follows the confidentiality rules in the publishing process. Only the author, editor-in-chief, subject editors, members of the Editorial Board and reviewers have access to data related to the paper under consideration. The submitted texts are assessed by reviewers in a double-blind procedure. The Editorial Board ensures the protection of personal data (GDPR) and monitors compliance with the confidentiality rules.

The Editorial Board applies the principle of transparency in the publishing process. The publication policy is described in the [For Authors] on the journal's website. After logging into the Editorial System, the author can check at what stage of the editorial process the submitted text is. A list of reviewers who evaluated the submitted texts in a given calendar year is published on the journal's website. Authors and reviewers are required to disclose any conflict of interest to the journal's editors.
