The HRC Journal of Economics and Finance is a double-blind peer–reviewed academic journal for students, researchers, and faculty to showcase their research pertaining to the discipline of economics and business. Our mission is to provide a platform through which scholars can publish their scholarly findings to showcase them with the research community at large. We invite research papers and articles on topics related to the field of economics, business and management for its quarterly journal publication.
HRC Journal of Economics and Finance team aims to bring high quality content with the utmost transparency and clearest ethical behavior as possible. Nearly each attribute of this process involves important ethical principles and decisions, which are seldom explicitly stated and even less often shared with the readership. Journal’s reputations depend on the trust of readers, authors, researchers, reviewers, editors, research subjects, funding agencies, regulatory agencies & administrators. This trust is enhanced by describing as explicitly as possible the journal’s policies to ensure the ethical treatment of all participants in the publication process. For authors, the journal has the policy that the submitted work has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture, review or thesis). The work is not under consideration elsewhere. The copyright has not been breached in seeking its publication. The publication has been approved by all co- authors and responsible authorities at the institute or organization where the work has been carried out.
