FUZZY ECONOMIC REVIEW welcomes original high-quality papers within the scope of the journal.  Manuscripts must not be under review by another journal or previously published. It is not mandatory to be a SIGEF member to submit your paper.

Manuscripts will be independently reviewed by two anonymous referees (three in case of disagreement). Articles will be assessed following double-blind peer review.

Manuscripts must be submitted in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by an English speaking colleague prior to submission.

After an article is accepted, and prior to actual publication, all authors must submit a signed publication agreement giving SIGEF permission to publish their articles.

Authors can self-archive their manuscripts and enable public access from their institution's repository after an embargo period (2 years).
