Submitted articles should be based on recent research and recognized studies, covering topics such as Regional Economics and Regional Development, and other related scientific fields. Manuscripts must align with the RSIJ’s defined scientific scope, as assessed by international evaluation bodies. Manuscripts that fall outside this scope will not be considered for publication.
