Journal of Contemporary Economics (JCE) is an open-access, international, peer-reviewed journal, publishing high-quality original research. The primary aim of the JCE is to disseminate relevant scientific knowledge and information in contemporary economics and business and multidisciplinary research, relevant to the economic theory and practice of managing contemporary business, non-profit, and public organizations and institutions. JCE has been a continuous scientific publication of the Republic of Srpska Association of Economists “SWOT”, Bosnia and Herzegovina. “SWOT” is a professional publishing organization providing administrative and technical support for the Journal.

Editorial independence is a core principle of JCE. All editorial decisions—including acceptance, revision, or rejection of manuscripts—are made solely by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. The publisher does not influence these decisions in any way. From 2019, it was issued biannually, and since 2023, JCE has been published as an open-access journal annually, in English only, in both online and print versions, without publication fees. Open Access (OA) means you can publish your research so it is free to access online as soon as it is published, meaning anyone can read (and cite) your work.

Articles are published under a Creative Commons CC BY Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, which specifies how the work may be used and shared.

We welcome the submission of manuscripts representing a broad spectrum of approaches and formats, including theory-based research, large-scale empirical studies, dialectics and debates, engaging, evidence-based, provocative questions, rigorous summaries of best practices, regional and international studies, and more.

We are committed to anonymous peer review and open access. We gather an academic community of top researchers and professors, members of the editorial board, and a team of reviewers from higher education institutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Austria, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Greece. The Editorial Board sets the Journal's mission and purpose, objectives and strategies, policies, content, and layout.

To maintain the highest ethical standards in publishing, the Editorial Board of the Journal follows the recommendations of the COPE Code of Conduct for Journal Editors (https://publicationethics.org/).
