Focus and Scope

AREMA publishes applied and empirical research across three core disciplines:

  • Economics – applied micro/macroeconomics, development and regional economics, monetary and public sector economics, labor and behavioral economics, Islamic economics, international trade, and sustainability economics.
  • Management – strategic management, entrepreneurship, marketing, human resources, financial management, operations and supply chain, digital business and innovation, and SMEs.
  • Accounting – financial and management accounting, auditing, taxation, public sector accounting, accounting information systems, sustainability accounting, and forensic accounting.

Interdisciplinary submissions and studies grounded in emerging-market and Indonesian/ASEAN contexts are encouraged. Purely theoretical work without a clear applied contribution is outside the scope.

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review. After an initial editorial and similarity check, suitable manuscripts are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers. Based on their recommendations, the editor issues one of four decisions: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. The typical time to first decision is 4–8 weeks.

Publication Frequency

AREMA is published twice a year (June and December). Accepted and copyedited articles are added to the current issue as soon as they are ready (continuous publication).
