Edited by the Department of Economics at the Federal University of Paraná since 1960, the Revista de Economia is the second oldest Brazilian journal in the field of Economics still in operation. Characterized by theoretical and methodological plurality, the Revista de Economia aims to publish articles of a theoretical, historical, and empirical nature, seeking to disseminate scientific knowledge through the publication of original works that are at the frontier of research in the various areas of economic science.

Peer review process
Manuscripts are first examined by the editorial team, which assesses their alignment with the journal’s scope, standards, and publication guidelines. If these conditions are not met, the work may be rejected at this stage. Once these requirements are satisfied, the article is sent to two external reviewers, whose blind evaluations (double blind peer review) are made available to the authors at the end of the process. Regardless of the nature and depth of the reviewers’ recommendations, authors are requested to revise the manuscript based on the suggestions, corrections, and comments provided in the reports. Once the revisions have been addressed, the work may be accepted for publication upon approval by the reviewers in a second round of evaluation. In case of conflicting recommendations, the editors request the evaluation of a third reviewer; however, the final decision rests with the members of the editorial team.

Periodicity
Every four months

Code of ethics and good publication practices
In accordance with the guidelines established by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), which aim to regulate the code of ethics of scientific publications, the Revista de Economia adopts the following procedures in its editorial policy, according to which it is the responsibility of:

- Authors: to comply with the Guidelines for Authors in order to meet all the conditions required for the manuscript submission to be evaluated through peer review with a view to publication in the journal. Articles that violate the aforementioned code of ethics of scientific publications, such as plagiarism, fraud, duplicate submissions, previously published manuscripts, falsification of information, fabrication of results, improper or ghost authorship, among others, will be summarily rejected.

- Editors: to analyze whether the work fits the journal’s scope, standards, code of ethics, and publication guidelines. If these conditions are not met, the manuscript may be rejected at this stage. Once these requirements are satisfied, it must be forwarded to anonymous reviewers specialized in the subject of the article, whose evaluations are made available to the authors at the end of the process. Finally, editors must ensure the anonymity of authors and reviewers, treating all submitted manuscripts as confidential documents.

- Reviewers: to consider potential conflicts of interest if they recognize the authorship of the work under evaluation, which must not be shared or discussed with third parties. In addition, they must analyze the article in light of the criteria contained in the evaluation form, whose responses will guide the editorial decision to be issued by the reviewer. Finally, reviewers are also responsible for identifying possible violations of the aforementioned code of ethics, such as the conduct listed above.

Resolution of conflicts of interest and violation of the code of ethics
Upon submission of the article, authors explicitly acknowledge that they do not have any conflicts of interest of a personal, commercial, academic, or financial nature. Any violations of the code of ethics must be sent to the editor-in-chief, who will forward them to the editorial committee and, if necessary, to the Department of Economics at the Federal University of Paraná so that appropriate measures can be taken. If necessary, the journal commits to publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies.
