Scope and Approach

Revista de Economía del Rosario is an academic publication, the articles of which are subject to peer review under the double-blind modality. A bi-annual publication that focuses on unpublished articles derived from research of high theoretical, empirical, or applied quality or studies of economic policy implications in any area of Economics. Short articles, literature reviews, notes, and comments are also highly welcome.

Once an article has been submitted for its potential publication in the journal, it is assumed as not being considered for publication in a different journal. In addition, the author accepts responsibility for all legal connotations associated with the originality of their work and its compliance with copyright- and plagiarism-related standards. Similarly, as from 2014, each journal article and issue has a DOI that serves as digital identifier.

The institutional reference on the journal’s name just implies that this is an initiative of the School of Economics of Universidad del Rosario. Therefore, the journal welcomes all members of the academic community, both from Colombia and abroad.

Peer-Review Process

  1. The editorial coordination team of Revista de Economíawill launch a widespread call for manuscript submission; those who wish to participate will have a previously stipulated deadline within which to send their proposal.
  2. Upon manuscript receipt, Turnitin software will be applied to detect any type of plagiarism. After that, the editorial coordination team will confirm receipt to the author, make a record of the document, and disclose the work’s title to two external peers, without revealing the author’s name, to conduct a review. Reviewers will be carefully selected by considering the manuscript’s subject and the specialized knowledge required for each subject.
  3. The external reviewers will check the articles and deliver the result of their assessment in writing, filling out the assessment form. The review process conducted by external peers will conclude after 4 to 5 weeks.
  4. Then, the article will be approved, rejected, or returned to its authors to make adjustments or changes.
  5. Where applicable, the editorial coordination team will proceed to do the following:
  • Inform the author of article approval and begin the text processing for its publication.
  • Inform the author of article rejection and the reasons that prevented its publication as provided by the peer reviewer.
  • When the peer reviewer finds an article suitable for publication, although requiring some adjustments, the editorial coordination team will send the corresponding notes to the author in writing.
  • In any of the three preceding cases, the journal’s editorial coordination team will inform the author of the peer review results in writing.
  • Under no circumstances will the final results of the review process be subject to appeal.
