Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia (JEI), also known as the Indonesian Economic Journal (IEJ), was established in 2004 by the Ikatan Sarjana Ekonomi Indonesia (ISEI), or the Indonesian Economist Association. Since its establishment, the journal has served as a scholarly platform for disseminating theoretical and empirical research on the development and dynamics of the Indonesian economy. Its mission is to contribute to academic discussions, economic research, and policy-relevant knowledge concerning Indonesia's economic development. Further information about the journal's establishment and institutional background is available on the official About the Journal page.

Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia was established by ISEI in 2004. The journal was founded to support scholarly communication in economics and to provide a publication venue for research addressing the Indonesian economy. As the journal's founding organization and publisher, ISEI provides the institutional framework under which JEI operates. The journal's stated academic focus is on theoretical and empirical research concerning Indonesia's economic development and dynamics, as described on its Focus and Scope page.

The journal's currently accessible online archive includes issues beginning with Volume 8, Number 1, published in August 2019. This archive provides a digital record of the journal's published scholarship and enables readers to access previous issues through the journal's website. The available archive establishes the earliest issue displayed in the current online archive; it does not necessarily represent the beginning of the journal's digital publishing activities. Readers can consult the JEI Archives for the available publication record.

Beginning in 2020, JEI adopted a regular publication schedule of three issues per year, released in April, August, and December. The journal also continued to publish print editions through ISEI. This publication frequency is documented in the journal's About the Journal page and reflected in its subsequent publication archives.

The journal's archives also record national accreditation at SINTA 4 under Decree No. 148/M/KPT/2020. This accreditation represents a documented milestone in JEI's development within Indonesia's national scholarly publishing and research evaluation system. The relevant historical information appears in the journal's publication archive. The journal's current accreditation information should be read together with the latest details published on its Abstracting and Indexing page.

As part of its current publishing operations, JEI maintains a publicly accessible editorial team listing the Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editors, and Editorial Board members. The published editorial structure identifies the scholars responsible for editorial oversight and the management of submitted manuscripts. The current names and institutional affiliations are available on the Editorial Team page.

JEI's published editorial policies establish a peer-review process in which manuscripts are assessed by at least two reviewers with relevant expertise. The journal's stated review model is blind peer review, and editorial decisions are based on academic merit, including relevance, originality, validity, significance, readability, and language. These procedures are described in the journal's Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

JEI also publishes its ethical framework for editors, reviewers, authors, and the publisher. Its Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement identifies the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as a reference for responsible editorial and publishing practices. The journal's stated principles address editorial independence, confidentiality, competing interests, publication decisions, plagiarism, duplicate publication, authorship, and responses to suspected misconduct. The applicable policies are available on the official Publication Ethics page.

JEI currently uses Open Journal Systems (OJS) version 3.3.0.22, an open-source journal management and publishing platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). The platform supports the journal's online submission, editorial workflow, publication, and access to published articles. The software information is documented on the journal's About Open Journal Systems page.

The journal is registered under ISSN 0854-1057 for its print edition and ISSN 2721-222X for its online edition. Its DOI prefix is 10.52813/jei, supporting the persistent identification of published articles. These identifiers are listed on the journal's official website and should be used consistently in its publishing metadata and article records.

JEI's current Abstracting and Indexing page lists the following services: the Science and Technology Index (SINTA), GARUDA, Google Scholar, Dimensions, ROAD, and OpenAlex. These services support the discovery of the journal's articles and the visibility of its scholarly output. The journal's listing should be understood as a statement of the services currently identified by JEI, rather than evidence that all of them began indexing the journal in the same year. Further details are available on the Abstracting and Indexing page.

JEI's current website reports national accreditation at SINTA 4. Readers and authors may consult the journal's indexing information and the relevant official national accreditation records for the applicable accreditation period. The journal's published indexing status is available on the official Abstracting and Indexing page.

JEI provides immediate open access to its published content, allowing readers to access scholarly articles without subscription fees. Its open access policy permits users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full text of published articles in accordance with the journal's stated terms. The policy is intended to facilitate the dissemination of economic research to academics, researchers, policymakers, and the wider public. Further information is provided in the Open Access Policy.

The journal states that it does not charge authors publication fees. This policy supports access to the publication process without an article publication charge. Authors should consult the journal's current submission instructions and editorial office for any applicable requirements associated with manuscript preparation and submission. The no-publication-fee statement is documented on the About the Journal page.

JEI's copyright notice identifies Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), or an equivalent license, as the preferred licensing arrangement for the publication, distribution, use, and reuse of scholarly work. Authors should review the journal's current copyright and licensing terms to understand the rights and obligations associated with publication.

As of 2026, Jurnal Ekonomi Indonesia continues to publish research on the development and dynamics of the Indonesian economy. The current publishing model comprises three issues per year, online access to published articles, a print edition, an editorial team, and a publicly documented set of editorial and publication ethics policies. Its current website also identifies its ISSNs, DOI prefix, abstracting and indexing services, and national accreditation status. These details can be verified through the journal's official website, publication archive, and Abstracting and Indexing page.

JEI remains committed to disseminating scholarly research relevant to Indonesia's economy and to maintaining transparent editorial procedures, accessible publication policies, and reliable bibliographic information. To preserve the accuracy of its historical record, future updates to this Journal History should document significant changes in editorial leadership, publishing frequency, digital infrastructure, accreditation, indexing coverage, access arrangements, and publication ethics policies only when supported by official records.
