Editorial, Publication and Ethics Policies
The Journal of Fiscal Economics and Financial Algorithms (JFEFA) is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to publishing original research in economics, fiscal economics, public finance, taxation, financial economics, computational finance, econometrics, and related interdisciplinary fields. The journal is committed to scientific quality, academic integrity, editorial independence, and responsible scholarly publishing.
Peer Review Process
JFEFA employs a double-blind peer review system in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another. Manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment and, when considered suitable, are normally evaluated by at least two independent expert reviewers. Editorial decisions are based on originality, methodological rigor, scientific contribution, and compliance with ethical standards.
Publication Frequency and Languages
JFEFA publishes two regular issues annually, in June and December, and accepts manuscripts written in Turkish or English. Both languages are subject to the same academic and editorial standards. The journal also supports Online First (Early View) publication, allowing accepted and fully prepared articles to be published online before assignment to a regular issue.
Open Access and Publication Fees
JFEFA operates under a Diamond Open Access publishing model. All published articles are freely accessible, and no manuscript submission fees, article processing charges (APCs), peer review fees, publication fees, or reader access fees are charged.
