Vision & Mission
Vision
The Vertex Journal of Economic Sciences (VJES) is founded on the belief that economic scholarship plays a vital role in building a more informed, equitable, and sustainable world. We envision a vibrant academic platform that critically examines economic systems, institutions, and policies with intellectual rigor and ethical responsibility. Our vision is to foster a dynamic scholarly community that contributes to inclusive growth, social well-being, and long-term development by advancing innovative and impactful economic research.
Economics, at its core, is not merely the study of markets and numbers—it is the study of human behavior, institutions, and decision-making processes that shape everyday life. This journal aims to illuminate these complex dynamics through independent inquiry, interdisciplinary engagement, and open dialogue, ultimately guiding us toward better futures for all.
Mission
Our mission is to promote critical, independent, and globally relevant economic scholarship that challenges conventional thinking, explores new frontiers, and deepens our understanding of the economic forces that shape societies. The Vertex Journal of Economic Sciences (VJES) is committed to serving as a trusted platform for both established and emerging scholars to engage in high-quality research that speaks to academic, policy, and societal audiences alike, particularly:
- Promote Rigorous Economic Research Encourage the publication of original theoretical, empirical, and methodological studies across all branches of economics—including microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics, and beyond—that address both foundational questions and contemporary challenges.
- Foster Interdisciplinary Dialogue Support scholarly work that bridges economics with disciplines such as political science, sociology, environmental studies, public health, and technology, thereby enriching analytical perspectives and addressing complex global issues.
- Empower Emerging Scholars Provide a credible and supportive platform for early-career researchers, facilitating scholarly development and integrating fresh voices into mainstream economic discourse.
- Strengthen Policy Relevance Promote research that informs public policy, institutional design, and governance, emphasizing the practical applications and societal implications of economic inquiry.
- Cultivate Global Collaboration Encourage contributions from diverse cultural, regional, and institutional backgrounds, fostering international exchange and comparative research that enhances the global relevance of economic studies.
- Advance Public Understanding Bridge the gap between academic research and public discourse by disseminating insights that enhance societal understanding of economic issues and support evidence-based decision-making.
VJES welcomes contributions from scholars worldwide and values diversity of thought, methodological plurality, and ethical integrity. By maintaining a rigorous, inclusive, and forward-looking editorial vision, the journal aspires to make a meaningful contribution to economic scholarship and its role in shaping just and resilient societies.
