Aims and Scope
Hasanuddin Economics and Business Review (HEBR) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal. Our primary objective is to publish original, rigorous empirical research that contributes significantly to the understanding of economic and business issues, with a strong emphasis on the Indonesian context and its relevance to other developing economies.
HEBR welcomes contributions from academicians, corporate executives, staff members of research institutions, international organisations, and government officials worldwide.
The journal accepts high-quality empirical papers employing any relevant methodological approach, provided the research fits one of three core disciplines: macro- and microeconomics, finance, or economic policy. While we maintain an international perspective and welcome global comparisons, we particularly encourage submissions that explore phenomena in, or offer direct implications for, Indonesia and similarly positioned developing nations. Research topics should engage with the unique challenges, opportunities, and dynamics of these settings, thereby contributing to both local scholarly discourse and broader global knowledge.
Open access and publication fees
HEBR provides immediate open access to all published content and does not charge submission fees or article processing charges (APCs). HEBR also provides immediate open access to its content and applies a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) licence.
Copyright and Licensing
HEBR states its copyright and intellectual property arrangements clearly on the journal website here. The policy explains the terms and conditions of publication, including author retained rights for legitimate scholarly use. Authors may, for example, make personal copies, use the work for teaching, share copies with research colleagues for non-commercial use, present the work at conferences, include it in theses or dissertations (non-commercial), and reuse parts of the work in later publications, provided proper acknowledgement to HEBR is given.
Licensing is also stated explicitly. HEBR and its published articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence (CC BY 4.0), which permits reuse with appropriate attribution.

The names and email addresses entered in this journal site will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.
Archiving
HEBR maintains a clear long-term preservation and accessibility strategy to ensure that published content remains available to readers over time. The journal uses the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system, which supports distributed preservation across participating libraries for preservation and restoration purposes.
In addition to LOCKSS, HEBR maintains a digital archive by converting and upgrading file formats in line with evolving technology standards and, where relevant, works with preservation partners to strengthen permanence and accessibility. The journal also applies local backup and website archiving by storing its electronic content, including manuscripts and metadata, across multiple sources, with restoration procedures designed to restore access in the event of server disruption.
HEBR also supports self-archiving, allowing and encouraging authors to deposit the final published version (publisher’s PDF) in personal websites and recognised repositories, provided that complete bibliographic information is included and HEBR is cited as the original place of publication. Finally, the journal is listed in the Keepers Registry, strengthening transparency regarding its participation in trusted preservation services.
