About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Dynamic Econometric Models (DEM) is an open access and peer-reviewed journal published once a year.  DEM aims to present rigorous research works regarding different aspects of time series and panel data techniques for the analysis of macroeconomic and financial data. It intends to integrate both time series techniques, dealing with univariate and multivariate time series models,  and panel data models.  The journal accepts papers written in English dealing with a wide range of topics that apply to this scope. 


Peer Review Process

Two-stage Peer Review Process: an internal review by Dynamic Econometric Models and the process of double blind review, that is two experts independent of the Editorial Office.

The internal review concerns checking if the paper meets the submission criteria of the journal, mainly scope and presentation.

 

Reviewers’ responsibilities are:

  • to assist the editor in making editorial decisions and improving the quality of the published papers by reviewing the manuscript,
  • to conduct the review process objectively by expressing views with supporting arguments and indicating the relative strengths and weaknesses of the paper,
  • to make a recommendation that the paper may be published, re-submitted with corrections  (major or minor) or rejected.
  • to complete reviews by the specified deadline or notify the editor that a review will not be able to complete by the deadline,
  • to declare all potential conflicts of interest (financial, institutional, collaborative or other relationships between the reviewer and author) to the editor, 
  • to alert the editor if the manuscript under review is substantially similar to any published work, 
  • to maintain the confidentiality of all information under review and not to discuss or use idea, methods or findings from review material.

  • The editor should not use for his or her own research any part of any data or work reported in submitted and as yet unpublished articles.

  • All authors must take public responsibility for the content of their paper. The award of authorship should balance intellectual contributions to the conception, design, analysis and writing of the study against the collection of data and other routine work.
  • Gather and interpret data in an honest way: Editors, reviewers, readers and publishers have the right to assume that submitted (and published) manuscripts do not contain scientific dishonesty and/or fraud comprising among others fictitious or manipulated data, plagiarised material (either from the previous work of the authors or that of other persons), reference omissions, false priority statements, 'hidden' multiple publication of the same data and incorrect authorship. Authors must not breach any copyright.

  • Declare all sources of funding for the work in the manuscript, and also to declare any conflict of interest (e.g. where the author has a competing interest (real or apparent) that could be considered or viewed as exerting an undue influence on his or her duties at any stage during the publication process).

  • To notify promptly the journal editor or publisher if a significant error in their publication is identified. To cooperate with the editor and publisher to publish an erratum, addendum, corrigendum notice, or to retract the paper, where this is deemed necessary.
