Guidelines for the authors

Editors and reviewers appreciate receiving manuscripts that conform to our guidelines. The following information provides guidance in preparing your research reports.

General Principles

The papers are submitted electronically to:
 
cristian.paun(at)rei.ase.ro (Managing Editor: C. Păun). 

Before submitting the final form of the paper, please check your submission for academic language feedback: CHECK WITH WRITEFULL / CHECK WITH GRAMMARLY.

The text of the report should be double-spaced and typewritten in Times New Roman 11 in all portions of the manuscript— including the title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, and legends. Authors should number all the pages of the manuscript consecutively, beginning with the title page. The manuscript should be no more than 30 pages in length.

Authors publish open access in this journal through our diamond route using a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 user licence. There are no article processing charges (APC) associated with submissions to the journal and readers are not charged to access the open content.

Title Page

This is the first page of the manuscript submission file. The title page should have the following information:

1. Article title.

2. Authors’ names and institutional affiliations. Provide the names of all authors including first name, department where the work was performed, and a foot line with contact information of the corresponding author with address, telephone number, and e-mail. Authors should also include their persistent digital identifiers provided by author identifier services such as ORCID, ResearcherID, or UEFISCDI ID (UEF-ID).

3. Source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment etc.

4. Abstract. The abstract should be of 100 words in length and provide the context or background for the study: the study’s purpose, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusions.

5. Keywords. A maximum of 5 keywords is allowed.

Body text

1. Manuscripts submitted to the Government, business, and international economy series are usually (but not necessarily) divided into the following sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Reports submitted to the other two series (i.e. Competing ideas in economics and Case studies in international business) may need to be formatted differently with headings to clarify their content.

2. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Author name and year of publication. References must conform the Chicago style (the Author-Date system). A tutorial is available here:

3. Include table(s) in the main manuscript document as text, not as an image. Number tables and figures using Arabic numerals, and supply a brief, informative title for each table and figure. Table text and figures must be consistent in size and style with main manuscript text.

4. Number footnotes using Arabic numerals.

Authorship

The authors need to have exclusive rights on their work and acknowledge that their work has not been submitted elsewhere and is not under consideration with any other publication. Attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work which has been submitted to consideration for publication.
Use of Large Language Models (LLMs) should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript. The name and version of the LLM tools used should be appropriately cited and referenced.

Peer Review

At the time of submission, the paper is checked for originality using a plagiarism detection software. Our model of peer review is single anonymized which means that the authors don't know the identity of the reviewers.

Publishing Ethics

We publish in accordance with the principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the Code of Ethics of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. If we find that any of these conditions have not been met we may take action, which may result in article withdrawal and/or correction.
