Journal Information

The Journal of Digital Economic Studies (JDES), published by Zamzami Scholar Publishing, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to advancing high-quality empirical and theoretical research on the dynamics of the digital economy, with particular emphasis on the Digital Sharia Economy. Situated within the broader transition toward digitally mediated economic systems, the journal critically examines how digital technologies, data infrastructures, algorithmic governance, and platform-based markets reshape the principles, institutions, and practices of Sharia-based economic activity. JDES provides an academic forum for analyzing transformations in Sharia finance, halal industries, zakat and waqf governance, Sharia entrepreneurship, and socio-economic justice within digitally structured economic environments.

JDES welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from economics, Sharia economics, management, political economy, sociology, information systems, and data science that rigorously engage with the intersection of digitalization and the Digital Sharia Economy. Its scope includes digital Sharia finance and fintech, platform-based halal economies, digital labor and gig work in Muslim societies, data-driven governance of zakat and waqf, digital entrepreneurship and innovation, network and platform economics, big data and AI applications in Sharia-compliant economic decision-making, sustainable and green Sharia economy, and regulatory and policy frameworks for inclusive, ethical, and socially responsible digital growth. By fostering analytically robust and methodologically sound scholarship, the journal seeks to contribute to international debates on digital economic transformation while foregrounding Sharia ethical principles in economic development, social equity, and sustainability in the digital age.
