Hasanah in Economics (HIEC) is a peer-reviewed academic journal publishing original scholarly research in Islamic economics, general economics, finance, banking, business economics, entrepreneurship, digital economics, and sustainable economic development.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that align with the journal's Focus and Scope.
Submitted manuscripts must be original, have not been published previously, and must not be under consideration by another journal. Authors must ensure that their submissions comply with the journal's publication ethics, research integrity requirements, and manuscript preparation standards.

All submissions must be made through the official HIEC website.
HIEC welcomes the following manuscript types:
Original Research Articles: Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, econometric, experimental, and other appropriate empirical studies.
Theoretical and Conceptual Articles: Contributions that develop or critically examine economic theories, models, and conceptual frameworks.
Systematic Literature Reviews: Structured reviews using transparent search strategies, explicit eligibility criteria, and appropriate synthesis methods.
Comparative and Interdisciplinary Studies: Research comparing economic systems, institutions, policies, or economic phenomena across contexts.
All submissions must demonstrate originality, methodological rigor, relevance to economics, and a clear scholarly contribution.
Research articles should generally follow the structure below, unless an alternative is justified by the research design and the journal's template.
The title must be concise, informative, and accurately represent the subject of the study. Avoid unnecessary abbreviations and overly general expressions.
Provide each author's full name, institutional affiliation, country, and the corresponding author's email address. Authors are encouraged to provide their ORCID iD.
Author identities must be removed from the anonymized manuscript file to preserve the integrity of the double-blind peer-review process.
The abstract should generally contain 150–250 words and summarize the research objective, methods, principal findings, and contribution or implications. It should be self-contained and normally avoid citations.
Provide 3–5 keywords that represent the main research concepts, variables, methods, or subject areas.
The introduction should explain the research background, problem statement, research gap, objectives, significance, and expected contribution. Relevant literature should establish the academic context of the study.
Discuss relevant theories, previous empirical findings, and conceptual relationships. Hypotheses or research propositions should be presented when appropriate.
Describe the research design, data sources, population or sample, sampling procedures, instruments, analytical methods, and relevant ethical considerations. The methodology must be sufficiently detailed to permit critical evaluation.
Present findings systematically and interpret them in relation to research questions, established theories, and previous studies. Discuss the theoretical, empirical, practical, or policy implications of the findings.
Summarize the principal findings, research contribution, implications, and limitations. Recommendations for policy or future research may be included where relevant.
Disclose relevant funding, institutional support, and contributions. Authors must also declare any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest. If no conflict exists, include an explicit declaration.
