Accepted Types of Articles      

Accepted types of articles considered for publication in the Journal of Resilient Economies include:

• Original Research/ Research Articles
• Review Articles
• Case studies
• Research Notes
• Editorials- by invitation or request

·       Original Research/ Research Article:

These types of articles are detailed studies reporting new work and are classified as primary literature. They include full Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections. They are typically between 6,000-8,000 words. The article must be closely linked to the concept of resilience.

Review Articles:

Review Articles provide a comprehensive summary of research on a particular topic and an outlook on the state of the field of research and where it is heading. Review articles are regarded as secondary literature and are often broadly read and highly cited. Review articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words (excluding reference list) . The article must be closely linked to the concept of resilience.

JRE considers the publication of three main types of review articles: 

1. Critical review – authors must present and critically analyse the current knowledge, including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic.
2. Systematic or scoping review – authors must use selected explicit, systematic or scoping methods to minimise bias and produce more reliable findings to inform decision-making processes.
3. Meta-analysis – authors must use a quantitative, formal study design to systematically assess previous research results to derive conclusions about that body of research.

Case studies:

A case study is a research approach used to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding of a complex issue in its real-life context. It reports specific instances of interesting phenomena. Authors must follow crucial stages: defining the case; selecting the case(s); collecting and analysing the data; interpreting data, and reporting the findings. They are typically between 3,000 and 4,000 words (excluding reference list) . The case study must be closely linked to the concept of resilience.

Research Note:

Research notes are short manuscripts presenting preliminary and/or exploratory findings or introducing a new method for collecting or data analysis. The academic findings should be explained and documented concisely. These research outputs should include a short abstract and introductory paragraph. Research notes may be written as continuous text in order to keep them as concise as possible. They are usually between 2,000 and 3,000 words (excluding reference list) and are considered small preliminary studies. They typically include: a title, synopsis, introduction, methodology, results and conclusion. The research note must be closely linked to the concept of resilience.

Aim and Scope

The twenty-first century has witnessed widespread global financial, and public health crises including, but not limited to, frequent large-scale natural disasters, the Dot-Com bubble crisis in the early 2000s, SARS pandemic, Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and COVID-19 pandemic. These crises adversely affected businesses, communities, and economies globally, resulting in social and economic disruptions. In a global-scale emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic, even strong economies demonstrated a lack of resilience and adaptive capacity. Equally, for businesses and communities, the impacts of these shocks have evidenced the need to pivot thinking, repurpose resources and be resilient. The effect of these crises is extended to industries, occupations, and livelihoods. Moreover, traditional methods of addressing external risks often preclude weaker economies from recognising their underlying vulnerabilities and economic weak-spots. Hence, the call for creative and innovative solutions is critical and imperative. This journal seeks to fill this gap through research and thinking that builds knowledge, understanding and insight into solutions that address the building of resilient economies.

Therefore, the Journal of Resilient Economies (JRE) allows for multidisciplinary contributions with local to global perspectives. Accordingly, the principal areas covered by JRE are:

• Resilience and business continuity
• Organisational resilience
• Economic resilience (at micro, meso, or macro levels)
• Industry resilience
• Occupational resilience
• Regional, urban, and rural resilience
• Community resilience
• Indigenous resilience
