Author Guidelines

  1. The journal accepts articles written in Spanish or English and agrees to subject them to evaluation toward potential publication.
  2. Works can be sent in electronic form (only Word, PDF, or LATEX formats are accepted) through the platform or to the following email address: publicaciones.economia@urosario.edu.co
  3. Only new and unpublished articles, drafted exclusively by the author, and neither infringing nor misappropriating third-party copyrights will be accepted for assessment and potential publication. Conducting a thorough text review is highly advised to avoid including quotations or transcriptions from works not duly cited. The citation style required by the journal is that outlined by the APA.
  4. The first page of the document must include the following:
  • The title.
  • The authors’ names, institutional affiliations, ORCID, and email addresses.
  • An abstract no longer than 100 words, in English and Spanish.
  • At least one article classification code in accordance with the classification system for journals used by the Journal of Economic Literature.
  • Three to five keywords facilitating article indexing (maximum five).
  • A first footnote including the name, address, phone number, fax, and email address of the person who will be in charge of exchanging correspondence with the editor (corresponding author). The acknowledgments and the information regarding the financial aid received for document preparation can be specified in this footnote although it must not be part of the sequential numbering of footnotes.
  1. Except for the first page, the document must never contain information that would allow for identifying its author.
  2. Documents must never be longer than 40 Letter-sized pages and have to be double-spaced and printed single-sided. Margins must be large, and the font size must never exceed 12 point. Documents edited in Microsoft Word are preferred as they facilitate the editing process although this is not a limitation for document submission.

Authors who prefer to send their articles in other formats, such as Scientific Word and LATEX, among others, are also allowed to do so.

Once the document has been accepted for publication, authors must be willing to provide charts and formulas in high-quality hard-copies for purposes of article editing. By accepting document publication, authors approve the layout provided by the journal.

  1. Footnotes must be explanatory.
  2. References, figures, and tables must be consecutively numbered.
  3. Equations must be consecutively numbered throughout the document, for example (1), (2), etc., and must be right-aligned.

For abbreviated derived equations, it would be helpful for reviewers to have the derivation written in full on a separate sheet (that will not be published).

  1. The document must be consecutively numbered as follows:

1. Title 1

1.1. Second-level subtitle

1.1.1. Third-level subtitle

2. Title 2

  1. Conceptualization
  2. Data curation
  3. Formal analysis – statistical techniques and data analysis
  4. Funding acquisition
  5. Investigation – research process
  6. Methodology – design and development
  7. Project administration – management and coordination
  8. Resources – supplying study materials
  9. Software – programming, design, and implementation
  10. Supervision and leadership role in planning
  11. Validation – verification
  12. Visualization – data presentation
