INSTRUCTIONS TO THE AUTHORS

• Scope and policy
• Manuscript preparation
• Sending of manuscripts

Papers are published in Desarrollo Económico. Revista de Ciencias Sociales after they have been selected by the Editorial Board. Through the years, the latter has been made up by social scientists coming from the most important Argentine centers of research. The journal is completely opened to contributions from local and regional academic circles of all kind. At the same time, with the aim of supporting the task of teaching institutions and of contributing to scientific discussions, it promotes the translation into Spanish and publishing of relevant works in different fields. To fulfill its task, the Editorial Board - all of whose members work honorarily - designates referees from within its ranks or outside experts that are always acknowledged figures in the corresponding field.

(1) Only unpublished papers written in Spanish are considered for publication.

(2) The manuscript should be typewritten double-spaced in letter-size paper on only one side and sent with two copies. (Each page should contain 70 characters by line, and there should not be more than 30 lines in the page.) The printed copies should be accompanied with a diskette containing the paper in its electronic format, with indication of the word-processing program used.
