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 rigorous empirical and theoretical inquiry into the evolving dynamics of the digital economy, with particular emphasis on the Digital Sharia Economy. Responding to the global reconfiguration of economic life under conditions of datafication, platformization, and algorithmic governance, the journal critically explores how digital technologies reconstitute the epistemic foundations, institutional architectures, and normative orientations of Sharia-based economic systems. JDES conceptualizes digitalization not merely as a technological shift, but as a transformative socio-economic process that reshapes modes of value creation, distribution, regulation, and ethical deliberation within Sharia-informed economic environments.

JDES welcomes interdisciplinary and methodologically robust contributions from economics, Sharia economics, management, political economy, sociology, information systems, and data science that engage analytically with the intersections of digital transformation and the Digital Sharia Economy. Its scope encompasses, but is not limited to, digital Sharia finance and fintech ecosystems; platform-based halal markets and value chains; the digital governance of zakat and waqf through data-driven and automated systems; Sharia-oriented digital entrepreneurship and innovation; digital labor and gig economies in Muslim societies; network and platform economics; big data and artificial intelligence in Sharia-compliant economic decision-making; and sustainability-oriented and green Sharia economic models. By foregrounding theoretical depth, empirical rigor, and methodological innovation, JDES seeks to contribute substantively to international debates on digital economic transformation while advancing Sharia ethical frameworks that emphasize social justice, inclusivity, accountability, and sustainability in the digital age.
