"Economic Challenges" Journal: Diamond OA, EBSCO Accepted, M24 Candidate 2026 – No Publication Fees!
Dear colleagues, esteemed authors and collaborators,
It is my great pleasure to inform you about several important achievements of the journal “Economic Challenges” in strengthening scientific excellence, openness and international visibility.
In line with the highest standards and practices of open science, we are proud to announce that our journal has been officially admitted to the elite European Diamond Open Access club. This recognition brings an important benefit for all researchers – publishing in our journal is entirely free of charge (No APC). Our strategic commitment is to make high‑quality scientific work accessible to everyone, without financial barriers for authors.
Regarding international visibility, in addition to successful indexation in the prestigious ERIH PLUS database, we are pleased to share that the journal has been formally accepted for inclusion in the global EBSCO database. We are currently waiting for the final technical implementation of this indexation, which will soon further and significantly increase the visibility and citation of your papers worldwide.
At the moment, the journal holds the national category M52, but our long‑term work opens the door to a higher rank. Considering that Economic Challenges has been published for more than 10 years, with a stable publication frequency of three issues per year, we fully meet the strict criteria for advancement. As a journal that continuously invests in quality, we are an official candidate for obtaining the M24 category for 2026, in accordance with Article 7 of the national Rulebook on the categorization and ranking of scientific journals.
In my capacity as Editor‑in‑Chief, I invite all members of the academic community – professors, researchers and early‑career scholars – to actively contribute and submit their scientific and professional papers.
Manuscripts are submitted exclusively online through our Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, which ensures maximum transparency and efficiency of the double‑blind peer‑review process.
I would like to thank you for your previous engagement, trust and contribution. I look forward to your future submissions and our continued cooperation.
Kind regards,
Assoc. Prof. Dženis Bajramović, PhD

Poštovane koleginice i kolege, uvaženi autori i saradnici,
Sa izuzetnim zadovoljstvom želim da vas obavestim o novim, značajnim iskoracima koje je ostvario časopis „Ekonomski izazovi” u pravcu unapređenja naučne izvrsnosti, dostupnosti i međunarodne prepoznatljivosti.
U skladu sa najvišim standardima i praksama otvorene nauke, ponosno ističemo da smo zvanično primljeni u elitni evropski Diamond Open Access klub. Ovo priznanje sa sobom nosi i važnu vest za sve istraživače – objavljivanje radova u našem časopisu je u potpunosti bez kotizacije (No APC). Naše strateško opredeljenje je da kvalitetna naučna misao bude dostupna svima, bez finansijskih barijera za autore.
Časopis trenutno nosi kategorizaciju M52, ali naš višedecenijski rad otvara nova vrata. Imajući u vidu da „Ekonomski izazovi” u kontinuitetu izlaze duže od 10 godina, sa stabilnom dinamikom od tri broja godišnje, ispunjavamo sve rigorozne kriterijume za viši rang. Kao časopis koji je uspešno indeksiran u prestižnoj ERIH PLUS bazi, zvanični smo kandidat za dobijanje kategorije M24 za 2026. godinu, a sve u skladu sa članom 7. Pravilnika o kategorizaciji i rangiranju naučnih časopisa Ministarstva nauke.
Ovim putem, u svojstvu glavnog i odgovornog urednika, pozivam sve članove akademske zajednice, profesore, istraživače, kao i mlađe kolege saradnike, da uzmu aktivno učešće i dostave svoje naučne i stručne radove. Vaše iskustvo, istraživački rezultati i stručnost daće izuzetan doprinos podizanju kvaliteta časopisa i jačanju naučne misli.
Radovi se, kao i do sada, podnose elektronski putem našeg Open Journal Systems (OJS) portala, čime obezbeđujemo maksimalnu transparentnost i efikasnost dvostruko slepe recenzije.
Zahvaljujem se svima na dosadašnjem angažmanu, poverenju i doprinosu koji dajete našem Departmanu i Univerzitetu. Unapred se radujem Vašim radovima i budućoj saradnji.
Srdačno i kolegijalno Vas pozdravljam,
