Abstract
The World Congress of Applied Economics & Policy (WCAEP 2025), held in Kuala Lumpur from July 7–10, 2025, emerged as one of the most comprehensive global gatherings for economists, policy analysts, librarians, data specialists, and researchers working across the full spectrum of applied economic sciences. The 2025 edition was distinguished not only by its impressive thematic range but also by the extensive availability of its Abstract Book and Proceedings Book, both of which are of particular relevance to scholars who emphasize literature mapping, bibliometric analysis, research synthesis, and the organization of economic knowledge—core areas of interest for Journal of Economics Library. This set of Conference Notes synthesizes the major intellectual contributions, methodological advancements, thematic patterns, and emerging research directions showcased throughout WCAEP 2025. Given the journal’s commitment to documenting, curating, and advancing the breadth of economic scholarship, this report places special emphasis on studies that highlight new data resources, literature trends, bibliometric insights, systematic reviews, and methodological innovations in economic research..
