JOURNAL PROFILE

The Journal of Digital Economic Studies (JDES), published by Zamzami Scholar Publishing, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, is an international peer-reviewed and open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing critical and interdisciplinary studies on the transformation of contemporary economic systems in the era of digitalization. The journal focuses particularly on the development of the Digital Sharia Economy, a rapidly evolving field shaped by the interaction between digital technologies, platform-based markets, financial innovation, and Islamic economic principles. Positioned within the broader discourse of global digital transformation, JDES examines how digital infrastructures, fintech ecosystems, online marketplaces, and data-driven economic practices reshape economic behavior, institutional governance, entrepreneurship, and socio-economic inclusion in contemporary societies.

JDES provides an academic platform for rigorous empirical and theoretical discussions on the opportunities, challenges, and implications of digitally mediated economic activities, especially within Muslim societies and emerging economies. The journal encourages scholarship that critically explores the transformation of Islamic finance, halal industries, zakat and waqf governance, digital entrepreneurship, and ethical economic development in the context of rapidly expanding digital ecosystems. In this regard, JDES seeks to bridge discussions between digital economy studies and Islamic economic thought while maintaining strong engagement with broader international debates on innovation, sustainability, platform economy, and inclusive development.

The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across economics, Islamic economics, management, political economy, sociology, communication, public policy, information systems, and related interdisciplinary fields. JDES prioritizes studies that demonstrate analytical depth, methodological rigor, and international scholarly relevance, including quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, and digital-based research approaches. By fostering critical and globally engaged scholarship, JDES aims to contribute to the development of ethical, inclusive, and sustainable digital economic systems while foregrounding the significance of Sharia-oriented economic values in the contemporary digital age.
