The manuscripts must be unpublished and on subjects related to the field of studies on regional development, from the social and human sciences, notably urban and regional planning, geography, economics, sociology, political science, social communication, law, history, social service and tourism, among other disciplinary areas, as long as they address in a central way the theme of regional development.
