Information For Authors

Editorial Guidelines for Manuscript Submission

The articles must be the product of an original research exercise, and can be presented in the following modalities:

  • Scientific and technological research article. Exposes the results of a completed research
  • Reflection article. Presents the author's original reflections, and therefore presents the author's point of view and judgments on a particular subject.
  • Review It presents an analytical, interpretative, and critical perspective of the author on published or unpublished research results, to show the advances and trends in each field. It is characterized by presenting a bibliographic review of at least 50 references.

The process of publication in Sociedad y Economía implies that the articles are submitted for review by two specialized peers of high academic level, external to the Universidad del Valle. These referees suggest their possible publication and ultimately it will be the Editorial Committee who will determine the publication. If you wish to know more about this process, please consult the Peer Review Guide. When the article is accepted for publication, the authors must correct it, according to the observations of the reviewers and the editorial team, within 15 days. The

average time between submission to peer reviewers and acceptance is up to one year. Articles will be published in order of arrival.

The article must be unpublished and must not be submitted for simultaneous submission to any other printed or electronic media; except if they are part of a graduate thesis, working papers or proceedings of an event, in which case there must be significant modifications. Submission to the journal implies authorization for publication in the journal and in the electronic media in which Sociedad y Economía is disseminated.

Articles should be submitted through the Open Journal System http://sociedadyeconomia.univalle.edu.co/. Articles are received throughout the year.

For some issues, a central theme may be defined, which will have a determined period for submission.
