Journal History

The Studies in Economy and Public Policy (SEPP) was established in 2025 as a scholarly response to the growing need for rigorous and policy-relevant research in the fields of economics and public policy. The journal was initiated to address the increasing demand for academic works that not only advance economic theory but also inform governance practices and public policy formulation in diverse socio-economic contexts.

Since its first publication, SEPP has been designed as a peer-reviewed academic forum that encourages critical inquiry and evidence-based analysis of economic and policy issues. The journal provides space for scholars and practitioners to engage with complex topics such as economic development, fiscal and monetary policy, public sector governance, political economy, and sustainable policy innovation, reflecting the dynamic interaction between economic systems and policy decisions.

SEPP adopts a biannual publication schedule, releasing two regular issues each year in May and November. The journal is published online to ensure accessibility and wider dissemination of knowledge, and all manuscripts are processed through a double-blind peer-review system to uphold academic integrity, transparency, and quality assurance. Editorial oversight is led by the Editor-in-Chief, Devi Valeriani, who ensures that published works meet the journal’s scholarly and ethical standards.

Published by Goodwood Publishing, SEPP continues to develop its editorial governance and publication practices in alignment with internationally recognized standards of academic publishing. Through its commitment to methodological rigor and policy relevance, the journal seeks to contribute to informed decision-making and to the advancement of effective, equitable, and sustainable public policies at local, national, and global levels.
