About the journal
Aims and Scope
Development Policy Review is the refereed journal that makes the crucial links between research and policy in international development. Edited by staff of the Overseas Development Institute, the London-based think-tank on international development and humanitarian issues, it publishes single articles and theme issues on topics at the forefront of current development policy debate.
Coverage includes the latest thinking and research on poverty-reduction strategies, inequality and social exclusion, property rights and sustainable livelihoods, globalisation in trade and finance, and the reform of global governance. Informed, rigorous, multi-disciplinary and up-to-the-minute, DPR is an indispensable tool for development researchers and practitioners alike.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Author Guidelines
DPR invites contributions on all aspects of international development, from any discipline and all regions of the world. The editors will be looking particularly for research results and fresh ideas that extend or challenge the leading policy themes of the day. We hope to reflect, and shape, new thinking on such topics as poverty-reduction strategies; policies on inequality and growth; aid effectiveness and partnership; meeting international development and gender-equity goals; the promotion of economic and social rights; reducing violence and insecurity; the interface between humanitarian and development aid, and innovations in national and global governance.
Articles published in DPR will normally be embedded in relevant analytical literature and theoretical debates; but they will also speak to policy problems and frameworks. Strong preference will be given to contributions that identify unresolved issues, and address these in a way that is relevant across a range of situations and fields of specialisation. Analysis must meet the prevailing standards of rigour in the relevant discipline(s); but authors will avoid unnecessary jargon and provide lucid summaries of the implications of necessary technical argument and tabular material.
The editors will continue to consider individual manuscripts, subject to the policy just described. But they are also keen to encourage thematic issues that enable topics to be treated in the round, including the perspectives of government and agency officials, and the staff of NGOs. Both individual submissions and proposals from guest editors will be solicited where appropriate. Survey articles dealing with important fields of development policy in an informed and analytical way are especially welcomed, and may be commissioned. In all cases, papers will be subject to editorial review and fully refereed before acceptance.
Papers submitted to DPR should be original contributions, not previously published and not under consideration elsewhere. The normal length of articles is 7-8,000 words, but the editors will consider longer pieces if there is substantial empirical material or analysis.

DPR conducts blinded peer-review. When uploading your submission you will need to upload: i) a manuscript file with no identifying author information or acknowledgements (designate as Main Document) and ii) a separate file consisting of a title page with the name and affiliation of the author(s), full correspondence address and any acknowledgements, followed by the article itself (designate as Title Page). Articles should be double- or 1.5-spaced, with numbered pages. They must include an abstract of 90-120 words. Short, attractive titles are preferred, and section headings and sub-headings should be used consistently and imaginatively. Analysis must meet prevailing standards of rigour in the relevant disciplines. However, authors are encouraged to avoid unnecessary jargon and provide lucid summaries of technical argument and tabular material.
The best guide to current style is a recent issue of DPR. The following points should be particularly noted:
?nbsp;The author's institutional affiliation and any necessary background or acknowledgements should appear as an unnumbered note at the foot of the first page.
?nbsp;The Harvard style of referencing is used (author's name and date of publication bracketed in the text).
?nbsp;Notes should be placed at the foot of the page, with an alphabetical list of references at the end.
?nbsp;British spelling is used throughout.
?nbsp;Tables should be modelled on those in a recent issue of the Review, taking account of the difference on page size.
?nbsp;Printing charts is costly and difficult; these will be accepted only in exceptional circumstances.
All editorial correspondence should be addressed to:
The Editor, Development Policy Review, Overseas Development Institute, 111 Westminster Bridge Road, London, SE1 7JD, UK; or by e-mail to dpr@odi.org.uk
