About the Publisher

Before the founding of Economix – International Journal of Economic Sciences, Consulting and Training Center KEY has had a long track record in publishing, training, and event management, enjoying wide recognition both domestically and internationally.

It has published various titles within the food industry and has been responsible for organizing many international events, such as Congresses, Conferences, Seminars, Workshops, Round table discussions, and B2B meetings. It also has trained over 1000 people in the fields of Food Safety, HACCP, Hygienic Design, Implementation of EU standards, and Utilization of EU funds.

This has been possible by founding its first journal, the Journal of Hygienic Engineering and Design (JHED), founded in 2011, a journal that also serves as the official publishing platform for the international and Scientific Congress for Food Quality and Safety, Hygienic Engineering and Design, Health and Nutrition – NUTRICON, organized annually since 2014, in June, in Ohrid, Macedonia.

Now, Consulting and Training Center KEY has expanded its expertise in the field of economic sciences, with ambitions of matching and enriching all its previous achievements in the food industry through the founding of the International Journal of Economic Sciences – Economix, a journal which also serves as the platform of its core International Scientific Congress of Economic Sciences – ECONOMICON, organized annually in June, in Ohrid, Macedonia.

Each of these services contributes towards the overall strategy of KEY becoming an indispensable partner to all target stakeholders and continually improving in all areas of scientific achievements.

The license permits any user to download, print out, extract, archive, and distribute their article, as long as appropriate credit is given to the authors and source of the work.

Revision and Correction

When advised by the Editorial Board members, or language editor, the Publisher has the right to send back manuscripts to their authors for correction. The Publisher may also reject manuscripts for publication if the suggested corrections are not appropriately implemented.
