Submitting an article to the editors means the author's consent to the right of the Publisher – L.N.

More than one author (co-author) publication in the same journal issue is prohibited. The author (authors) are responsible for the content of the article.

- as well as a cover letter (the cover letter template is attached on the journal's website) about the independent nature of the submitted manuscript, consent to check the article for plagiarism, inclusion in various databases and information systems, including full-text versions in case of publication and granting exclusive rights to the Publisher.

The files of the article should be numbered, the first 4-5 words of the title of the article should be named (for example: 1. On the methodology of teaching the limit – the file with the authors; 2. On the methodology of teaching the limit – a file without authors).

  1. Recommended article length and number of literary sources: reviews (і10,000 words and і100 references), mini reviews (6,000 to 10,000 words and і50 references), research papers (і3,500 words and і25 references).

Works exceeding the specified volume are accepted for publication in exceptional cases by the decision of the editorial board of the journal.

The template for the design of the article is presented in the template 

Template

The “Economic series of the Bulletin of L.N. Gumilyov ENU” requires authors to adhere strictly to the American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition, referencing style for all in-text citations and bibliographic entries(https://apastyle.apa.org/).  Every source cited in the manuscript must be accurately reflected in the reference list, and each item in the reference list must correspond to an in-text citation. When a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is available, it must be provided without exception.

 

In-text citations follow the author–year system. When the author's name is not incorporated into the sentence, the author's surname and year of publication appear in parentheses. For example, in the analysis of negotiation models, the citation may appear as (Barro, 2018). When the author’s name is integrated into the narrative, only the year is placed in parentheses, as illustrated in the statement by Virah-Sawmy and Sturmberg (2025). When several works are cited simultaneously, the sources are listed alphabetically and separated by semicolons. This approach is commonly applied when synthesizing extensive multi-year research results by various scholars, for example: (Khalilov, 2025; Li et al., 2017; Morgan & Felbermayr, 2025; Gorz et al., 2020).

The reference list is placed at the end of the manuscript and must fully comply with the structural and formatting requirements of APA 7. For journal articles, authors must provide the full list of authors, year of publication, article title, full journal title in italics, volume, issue, page range, and DOI. A correctly formatted example is as follows:

Arthur, K. K., Asongu, S. A., Darko, P., Ansah, M. O., Adom, S., & Hlortu, O. (2025). Financial crimes in Africa and economic growth: Implications for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Journal of Economic Surveys, 39(3), 1212–1251. https://doi.org/10.1111/joes.12652

 

For monographs, the author’s surname and initials, year of publication, full title in italics, and publisher’s name must be indicated. For example:

Gorz, A. (2025). Critique of economic reason. Verso Books.

 

When referencing a chapter in an edited volume, the citation must include the chapter author, year, chapter title, information about the editors, title of the book, edition, page range, and DOI. An example is:

Rivera, A. C. (2020). Innovations in marketing strategy in the digital age. In G. T. Walker & D. A. Taylor (Eds.), Marketing in a globalized world (3rd ed., pp. 90–108). CityLine Press. https://doi.org/10.1235/bkch2022.00032

 

 

Electronic sources must include the date of publication, title of the material, name of the platform or website, and the date of access. For instance:

Kassymova, S. T. (2023, October 12). Fiscal sustainability challenges in emerging economies: Trends, risks, and policy responses. Economic Analytics Report. Retrieved January 15, 2024, from https://www.economic-analytics.org/reports/fiscal-sustainability-2023

 

The use of a unified APA 7 style enhances the scholarly transparency of publications, ensures accuracy and consistency in citation practices, and facilitates the verification of sources. These requirements fully align with international standards of academic integrity and the editorial policy of the “Economic series of the Bulletin of L.N. Gumilyov ENU.”
