Editorial Policy
The journal seeks to publish the results of research from both national and in-
ternational universities and research centers. In this sense, the journal is aimed
at economists, researchers and professionals in related areas to economics and
social sciences. It considers unpublished papers related to economic and social
issues of economic development, as well as contributions to theoretical, applied
economics and quantitative methods, paying special attention to studies about
Colombia and Latin America.
Every article published has a DOI (digital object identifier) and it should be ci-
ted by authors and users of contents, as well as the short title of the journal:
DESARRO.SOC.
At present, the journal is published twice a year. One of the yearly editions is a
special issue whose objective is to develop a specific economic area with wide
relevance. Special issues published so far include editions on social preferences,
poverty and inequality (2006), social and welfare economics (2007), applied
microeconomics (2007), informal labor (2008), household economics (2009),
macroeconomic crisis (2011), impact evaluation (2012), a special edition in honor
of Miguel Urrutia (2013) and education (2014).
Manuscript contents are responsibility of authors. Once received, manuscripts are
checked for plagiarism. If editorial committee raises any doubt, manuscript will
be returned to authors who can clarify the concerns raised. Articles submitted
to Desarrollo y Sociedad are firstly reviewed by the Editor. Based on academic
quality and originality criteria, the editor decides on whether the articles can
continue the process or not. Once accepted in this first stage, articles are sent to
two national or foreign referees (double-blind peer review). In order to speed up
this process, authors should suggest at least three potential reviewers. Reviewers
have the possibility of declaring conflict of interest. The editorial team will let
the author(s) know the final decision on whether their article will be published
by Desarrollo y Sociedad or not, based on the referees’ concept (which is sent to
the authors) and the editor’s own opinion. According to the editor, the Journal
may also publish methodological notes, book reviews and brief commentaries on
published articles, along with the response of the author(s) of the original arti-
cle. It is editorial policy to publish articles whose computational details, either
