The Transdisciplinary Journal of Economics and Business (TJEB) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the School of Economics and Business, Mongolian University of Life Sciences. TJEB is dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality research in economics, business sciences, and their transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary intersections with other fields. The journal provides a platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers to share original research that contributes to scientific knowledge, policy development, and practical applications.

TJEB operates a double-blind peer review process and follows internationally recognised standards in academic publishing. The journal is fully open access — all published articles are freely available to readers. TJEB does not charge any submission or publication fees to authors.

For the journal's aims and scope, please refer to the Aims and Scope page.

TJEB publishes the following manuscript types. Word counts exclude the title, abstract, keywords, references, tables, figures, appendices, and supplementary materials.

Submission method: Submit through the official online system at tjeb.muls.edu.mn/submit.

Authors must comply with TJEB's ethical standards and policies. Key requirements include:

Authors must submit a completed Author Ethics, Consent, and Declarations Form as part of the submission process.

Substantive submissions — research articles, review articles, case studies, and methodological papers — undergo double-blind peer review, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential.

All submissions are initially assessed by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) for suitability in terms of scope, quality, originality, and compliance with journal requirements. Submissions proceeding to external review are sent to at least two independent reviewers.

The EIC makes the final decision based on the editorial assessment and reviewer reports. For full details, refer to the Peer Review Policy.
