Author Guidelines

The Revista de Análisis Económico – Economic Analysis Review publishes articles in economics in Spanish and English, twice a year, in April and October, under double-blind peer review. It is open access and charges neither authors nor readers at any stage.

These guidelines set out what to submit and how to prepare it. The editorial team checks compliance before sending the manuscript for review. Submissions that do not comply are returned to the authors, who may resubmit them once corrected.

Aims and Scope

The journal publishes research articles presenting original theoretical or empirical results.

It welcomes work in theoretical and applied economics in areas such as economic development, economic history, labour economics, health economics, industrial organization, environmental economics, the economics of innovation, international economics, political economy, law and economics, finance, and monetary economics and banking. The journal has a particular interest in research that addresses economic problems in Latin America.

The two submission files

Every submission consists of two files, both required, prepared with the journal’s templates (available in Spanish and English):

• Title page (English template · Spanish template): the only file that identifies the authors. It includes their names, affiliations, ORCID iDs, the corresponding author and all declarations.
• Anonymous manuscript (English template · Spanish template): the full text of the article, with no information identifying the authors. This is the file the reviewers read.

The templates already include the margins, font, heading styles and page numbering. Authors who write in LaTeX may submit the manuscript as a PDF with the same content and the same degree of anonymity; if the article is accepted, the final version must be submitted in Word, prepared with the template.

Reviewers see the file names: the title page may carry the author’s surname, but the manuscript must not (for example, Manuscript_MinimumWage.docx).

Language

Articles may be written in Spanish or English, used consistently throughout the manuscript. In either case, the title, abstract and keywords must be provided in both languages, so that the article can be found in searches in either language. The abstract has a maximum of 250 words, in a single paragraph and without citations.

Format, references and anonymity

Guidance on format, tables, figures and references is given in the anonymous manuscript template; authors who write in LaTeX must follow it as well. References follow APA 7 style, with the DOI of every work that has one. The manuscript must contain no information identifying the authors, including in the file properties, and self-citations must be written in the third person.

Declarations

In the title page, authors declare funding, conflicts of interest, each author’s contribution according to CRediT, ethics approval when the research involves human participants, prior versions or preprints, and the use of artificial intelligence, in accordance with the Responsible AI Use Policy. Having circulated a working paper does not prevent publication in the journal, but it must be declared.

Data and code. The title page must state where the data and the estimation code can be obtained. If the article is accepted, the authors must deposit them in a public repository, such as Zenodo, Harvard Dataverse or openICPSR, and include the link in the article; this is a condition of publication. If the data are confidential, the code is deposited and the article explains how the data can be obtained. This rule does not apply to theoretical articles without data.

How to submit

Register or log in on the journal’s website and select «Make a Submission». Upload the two files separately: first the anonymous manuscript, then the title page. Enter all authors in the form, in the same order and with the same details as in the title page, because the published metadata is built from the form. Every author must have a valid ORCID iD.

After submission

The editorial team first checks that the submission complies with these guidelines; if it does not, it is returned to the authors for correction. The editor may then reject the manuscript without sending it for review if it does not meet the journal’s quality standards or does not fall within its scope.

Manuscripts that proceed are sent to reviewers selected by the editor according to their expertise. Review is double-blind: reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

On the basis of the reports, the editor decides to accept the article, request minor or major revisions, or reject it. Rejection decisions, with or without review, are final. The revised version is generally returned to the same reviewers. The entire editorial process is confidential.

Open access and fees

The journal is open access: all articles can be read free of charge from publication, and the journal charges authors no fees for submission, review or publication, nor any page charges, colour charges or withdrawal fees. Articles are published under a Creative Commons license, whose terms are set out in the copyright notice on this page, and are indexed in EconLit, RePEc, Latindex, EBSCOhost, SSRN, Scopus and SciELO-Chile.

Fraud warning. The journal’s editorial communications are made through the journal’s management system or its institutional e-mail addresses. If in doubt about the authenticity of a communication, it can be confirmed at [email protected]. Any request for payment in the journal’s name should be treated as an attempted fraud.
