Présentation
The journal Anthropology & Development is a peer-reviewed journal. Anthropologie & développement publishes two issues per year, alternating thematic special issues and varia issues. The thematic special issues are devoted to a particular theme, taking stock of a specific area in the field of development or social change. The Editorial Board welcomes proposals of special issues. Varia issues are composed of articles on any topic relevant to the journal’s remit, with a maximum length of 50,000 characters. Anthropologie & développement also publishes book reviews and thesis abstracts. These contributions may be solicited by the Editorial Board, but authors can also submit relevant proposals. They should not exceed 2,000 words.
Since the creation of APAD in 1991, the APAD Bulletin, recognized by the AERES in its “anthropology and technology” lists since 2007, has become a respected reference in development socio-anthropology. In 36 issues, it has contributed to the development of new themes, opened its pages to young researchers and has helped to decompartmentalize reflection between social scientists and development practitioners. Its articles are widely used in teaching and training, both in Africa and in Europe.
As of 2013, the APAD Bulletin became Anthropology & Development, the APAD Journal. Self-published by APAD from 2013 to 2018, the journal is now published by the Presses Universitaires de Louvain.
Anthropologie & développement is a bilingual peer-reviewed journal, indexed by ERIH PLUS and JournalBase (CNRS) (HCERES no longer publishes a list in social sciences). It has a focus on sub-Saharan Africa, but articles on development policies and practices can cover any geographical area.
Anthropologie & développement is distributed to members and sold to non-members online (here up to n°48-49 and here from n°50). The articles published in the journal are available after six months on the dedicated websitehttp://anthropodev.revues.org/?lang=fr ofRevues.org, one of the platforms of the OpenEdition portal dedicated to hosting electronic resources in the humanities and social sciences. Articles published in the APAD Bulletin remain available on https://apad.revues.org/?lang=fr.
In 2017, on OpenEdition, the Bulletin de l’APAD and Anthropologie & développement together received 174,000 individuals visitors, 240,000 total visits and 409,000 page views. For its first year online in 2017, Anthropologie & développement received nearly 30,000 individual visitors.

Contribute to the Journal
Article proposals should be sent to: revue@apad-association.org. Article submissions are received by the Editorial Board, which determines whether the article is relevant with regards to the field of interest of the journal. Board members carry out a first evaluation of its quality before deciding to forward it for review or to refuse it.
Articles are sent anonymously to two reviewers, chosen with regards to the subject matter of the article and its geographic field. At least one of the reviewers is a member of the journal’s scientific committee. The reviewers then communicate to the author their opinion on the relevance and quality of the article, and on the possibility of it being published in the journal.
The review of articles can result in four responses:
- Accepted
- Accepted with revisions
- Proposal of significant modifications without guarantee of publication
- Rejected
The author will receive a response regarding the evaluation of the manuscript in the three months following its submission to Anthropologie & développement. In the case that the article is publishable with revisions or rejected, a summary of the evaluation is sent to the author. These comments are forwarded anonymously to the author. The revised version is evaluated by reviewers before finally being accepted.

The text should be written with single line spacing (there should be no paragraph breaks between paragraphs). The final version must be formatted according to the style of the journal (this will be sent to the authors following the acceptance of their text).
