Abstract

We are pleased to introduce the first issue of the Journal of Digital economy research (JDER), a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary scientific journal.

Digital economy rapid developments raise plenty of discussions. The aim of this journal is to be the forum for researchers and practitioners, politicians, and officials to discuss the development strategies and best international case studies to ensure the comprehensive development of society in the digital economy.

The journal focuses on:
• the research results in the field of the development of the digital economy,
• issues in digital transformation management,
• assessmentofresultsandrisksof digitalization,
• the challenges of international cooperation, and
• the development of separate industries and regional segments of the digital economy.

JDER is an open access journal with four issues per year. We do hope that this publishing strategy will support the broader discussions of theoretical and empirical aspects of digital transformation pushing forward cooperation between relevant groups of actors. Research and review articles covering examples from practice and cases, reviews of conferences and books, interviews of leading experts could brief researchers and practitioners with contemporary development issues.
