EKOMBIS REVIEW publishes scholarly research and review-based contributions in economics, business, management, accounting, and closely related interdisciplinary fields.

Manuscripts may be prepared in English or Indonesian and should be written clearly, concisely, consistently, and in an appropriate academic style.

As stated in the journal's current Author Guidelines, manuscripts should normally not exceed 14 pages, including references, tables, figures, and appendices, unless otherwise approved by the editor.

The title should be concise, specific, informative, and accurately reflect the principal topic, finding, or contribution of the manuscript.

• Avoid unnecessarily long titles.
• Avoid unexplained abbreviations.
• Avoid wording that overstates findings.
• Ensure that the title in the manuscript is identical to the title entered in OJS metadata.

Author names must be written without academic degrees or professional titles. Affiliations should be written clearly and consistently.

• Write the full name of each author.
• Provide department/study program, faculty where applicable, institution, city, and country.
• Identify the corresponding author clearly.
• Provide a valid email address for each author where required.
• Provide ORCID where available.
• Telephone/WhatsApp information requested for editorial communication is administrative information and is not intended for publication unless specifically required.

The fields Received, Revised, Accepted, Published, DOI, volume, issue, page numbers, and final “How to Cite” information are publication metadata managed or verified by the editorial office.

The abstract must contain approximately 100–200 words and must be understandable without consulting the full manuscript.

The abstract should concisely communicate:

Authors should provide 6–8 relevant keywords or key phrases that represent the principal concepts, variables, methods, or subject areas of the manuscript.

Keywords should support accurate indexing and discoverability and should also be entered correctly in the OJS metadata.

Original research manuscripts should normally follow the structure below, consistent with the EKOMBIS REVIEW 2026 template.

The Introduction should clearly establish why the study is necessary. It should provide sufficient context for the reader to understand the research problem and contribution.

The section should normally include:

• the research problem or phenomenon;
• the importance and relevance of the study;
• relevant recent research and state of knowledge;
• the research gap, inconsistency, or unresolved issue;
• the novelty or expected scholarly contribution; and
• the research objective, research question, and/or hypotheses where appropriate.

The literature review represents the theoretical foundation of the study and should provide a critical synthesis, rather than a simple sequence of summaries of previous publications.

Authors should critically evaluate relevant literature, identify similarities, differences, controversies, limitations, and gaps, and explain how the present study contributes to existing knowledge.

The Methods section must contain sufficient detail for readers and reviewers to evaluate the appropriateness, reliability, validity, and, where applicable, reproducibility of the study.

Report as appropriate:

• research design and context;
• population and sample or data source;
• sampling technique and inclusion/exclusion criteria;
• respondent or observation profile where relevant;
• data-collection procedures;
• variables, constructs, measures, or operational definitions;
• instrument validity and reliability where relevant;
• analytical techniques and software;
• model specification and diagnostic/robustness procedures where applicable;
• data period and database/source for secondary-data studies; and
• ethical approval, informed consent, or an appropriate exemption statement where applicable.

Results should present the research findings clearly and objectively. Report relevant results in sufficient detail to support subsequent interpretation and conclusions.

• Present descriptive findings where relevant.
• Report hypothesis/model/statistical results clearly where applicable.
• Report relevant results even when they do not support the proposed hypotheses.
• Use tables and figures only when they improve clarity.
• Avoid unnecessary duplication of the same information in text, tables, and figures.

The Discussion must explain the meaning and scholarly significance of the results rather than merely restating numerical findings.

The discussion should:

• relate findings to the study objectives or hypotheses;
• compare findings with relevant previous studies;
• explain agreements, differences, contradictory findings, or unexpected results;
• connect findings to appropriate theory;
• explain theoretical and/or empirical contribution;
• discuss managerial, economic, accounting, or policy implications where appropriate; and
• avoid introducing new results that were not presented in the Results section.

The Conclusion should directly answer the research objective and state the principal conclusion supported by the results.

The conclusion may emphasize important theoretical, managerial, practical, economic, accounting, or policy implications. It should not simply repeat the Abstract and must not introduce unsupported new findings.

Authors should identify material limitations that directly affect the interpretation, generalizability, reliability, or validity of the study.

Do not merely list limitations. Explain how important limitations may have influenced the findings and indicate focused opportunities for future research where appropriate.

• Tables and figures must be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals.
• Each table and figure must have a clear and informative title.
• Every table and figure must be cited in the manuscript text.
• Sources must be stated where applicable.
• Figures must be clear and of sufficient resolution.
• Tables must remain editable where required by the template.
• Do not place essential information only in an image when it can be presented as accessible text or an editable table.

The Acknowledgments section is optional. Authors may acknowledge individuals, organizations, institutions, technical support, or other legitimate contributions that do not qualify for authorship.

References must follow the Harvard-Anglia author-date style consistently, in accordance with the current EKOMBIS REVIEW template.

• The reference list must contain only works cited in the manuscript.
• Every citation appearing in the text must have a corresponding reference entry.
• References should contain sufficient bibliographic information for unambiguous identification.
• Use DOI links in the format https://doi.org/... whenever available.
• For the same author and publication year, differentiate works using a, b, c, and so forth.
• Prioritize relevant scholarly and primary research sources.
• Authors are strongly encouraged to use Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero.

The principal manuscript type published by EKOMBIS REVIEW is the Original Research Article. The journal may also consider review, conceptual, or analytically rigorous case-based manuscripts where they are consistent with the Focus and Scope and provide a clear scholarly contribution.

EKOMBIS REVIEW applies a double-blind peer-review process. Authors should therefore ensure that the manuscript version intended for review does not unnecessarily reveal author identities.

• Remove author names from the anonymous review manuscript where required.
• Remove identifying information from document properties where reasonably possible.
• Avoid self-identifying wording such as “in our previous study at [institution]” when it compromises anonymity.
• Complete author names and affiliations accurately in OJS metadata so the editorial office retains the required administrative information.

Authors receiving a revision decision must submit the revised manuscript through OJS within the deadline specified in the editorial decision.

Authors should provide a clear point-by-point response explaining how editor and reviewer comments have been addressed.

Submission and scientific peer review are administratively separate from publication charges.

Current publication-charge information should be consulted separately on the journal's Author Fees / APC page.
