Manuscripts must be original and unpublished. A manuscript submitted to GER must not be under review or consideration by another journal while the GER editorial process is ongoing.

Manuscripts must be written in English using clear, precise, and academically appropriate language. Authors are responsible for grammar, spelling, terminology, and clarity.

Use APA 7th Edition for citations, references, tables, and figures. Reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero is encouraged.

The manuscript should contain 5,000–7,000 words, excluding references. Submit an editable MS Word file on A4 paper (210 × 297 mm).

Tables, charts, and figures should be editable wherever possible. Do not use screenshots in place of editable tables. All visual elements must be numbered, titled, cited where necessary, and discussed in the manuscript.

Research must comply with applicable ethical requirements, including informed consent, confidentiality, data protection, and institutional ethical approval or clearance where relevant.

Under the stated GER policy, authors who have previously published in GER may submit a new manuscript only after two years have elapsed since their most recent publication. Authors should confirm eligibility before submitting.

Research Scope

Manuscripts should present empirical research relevant to green economics, sustainable finance, Islamic economics, environmental policy, or related fields. The research should have a clear objective, appropriate methodology, credible analysis, and conclusions supported by findings.

Blind Peer Review

Remove author names, institutional affiliations, email addresses, identifying acknowledgements, and other identifying information from the review manuscript. Enter author details in the appropriate OJS metadata fields. Remove identifying information from document properties as well.

Editorial Screening

Submissions may be returned or rejected before external review if they do not meet the journal's scope, originality, ethical standards, language requirements, or essential formatting requirements. Compliance with these guidelines does not guarantee acceptance.

• Number tables and figures consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text.
• In APA 7, place table numbers and titles above tables. Place figure numbers and titles above figures as well; explanatory notes or source information may be placed below.
• Refer to every table and figure in the main text and explain its relevance to the findings.
• Provide tables and charts in editable formats wherever possible; do not use screenshots in place of editable tables.
• Ensure labels, units, legends, notes, and data sources are clear and accurate.
• Keep visual elements legible and consistent with APA 7th Edition conventions.
• Position tables and figures near their first mention or as specified by the journal's layout requirements.
• Ensure that reproduced or adapted material is properly attributed and permission is obtained where required.

Note. Values are illustrative only and do not represent actual empirical findings. Add measurement units, definitions, and source information where relevant.

• Place the table number in bold above the table.
• Place the descriptive title on the next line in italics.
• Use consistent decimal places, units, and column headings.
• Prefer simple layouts with minimal horizontal rules and no unnecessary vertical lines.
• Place explanatory notes and source information below the table.
• Refer to the table in the manuscript text, for example: “The descriptive statistics are presented in Table 1.”
• Use editable tables instead of screenshots wherever possible.

Note. This is an illustrative conceptual framework, not an empirical finding. Authors should replace it with a figure that accurately represents their own research.

• Number figures consecutively according to their first appearance in the manuscript.
• Place the figure number in bold above the figure, followed by an italicised title.
• Use readable labels, axis titles, measurement units, symbols, and legends.
• Ensure adequate resolution and avoid blurry images.
• Use consistent terminology, fonts, and visual styles.
• Place explanatory notes and source information below the figure when necessary.
• Refer to every figure in the manuscript text.
• For adapted or reproduced figures, cite the original source and obtain permission when required.

• Ensure that every in-text citation has a corresponding reference-list entry and that every listed reference is cited in the manuscript.
• Use Mendeley, Zotero, or another reference manager to improve consistency, then check the final references manually.
• Prioritise relevant, credible, and recent scholarly literature. Foundational works may be cited when necessary.
