Buletin Ekonomi Kewirausahaan dan Inovasi (BEKI) (Bulletin of Entrepreneurial Economics and Innovation) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the intersection of economic sciences, strategic entrepreneurship, and innovation management. Positioned as a premier scholarly forum for business development and economic transformation, the bulletin serves economists, entrepreneurship scholars, business practitioners, start-up developers, and economic policymakers worldwide. BEKI prioritizes high-impact empirical research, business econometric modeling, innovation ecosystem evaluations, and in-depth case studies on enterprise resilience and growth. By synthesizing fundamental economic theory with modern entrepreneurial practices and technological disruption, the bulletin fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how new value creation and business agility accelerate inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to advance the study of entrepreneurial economics and applied innovation, the bulletin welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, empirical econometric studies, and business model evaluations within the following thematic areas:
  • Entrepreneurial Economics & Start-up Dynamics: New venture creation, business incubation and acceleration, the gig economy, scaling-up strategies, and market dynamics for emerging enterprises.
  • Innovation Management & Digital Business Transformation: Product and service innovation, disruptive business models, financial technology (FinTech) adoption, e-commerce ecosystems, and the integration of artificial intelligence in business operations.
  • MSME Development & Social Entrepreneurship: Empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), community-based entrepreneurship, social business models, frugal innovation, and local business resilience.
  • Entrepreneurial Finance & Innovation Investment: Early-stage venture financing, venture capital, crowdfunding mechanisms, MSME financial risk management, and intangible asset valuation.
  • Business Ecosystems, Creative Economy & Public Policy: Macroeconomic and microeconomic policies for entrepreneurship, creative industry competitiveness, circular economy business models, and triple-helix innovation synergy across academia, industry, and government.

Publication Frequency
To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and the timely dissemination of economic and business research, BEKI is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on post-crisis MSME resilience, digital economy acceleration, or sustainable business innovations may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process
BEKI enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, analytical objectivity, and empirical validity across economics and business management disciplines.
  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness (econometric rigor, qualitative case study depth, market data accuracy, or conceptual logic), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the bulletin's maximum threshold.
  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are established academic researchers, senior economists, or business innovation strategists in the relevant domain.
  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on intellectual merit, methodological clarity, and the potential for tangible impact on the economic and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
