Focus and Scope

The "Revue Quetelet/Quetelet Journal" (RQJ) is a bilingual thematic journal (English and French) of the Centre for Demographic Research of Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), in Belgium.

RQJ welcomes original contributions in the traditional empirical format, as well as papers adopting unconventional approaches. These include theoretical literature reviews, methodological studies, “data papers”, advocacy for heterodox or controversial perspectives, reports on negative results, replication of previously published findings, descriptive analyses of new data, studies using unusual datasets, mixed-methods research, and more.

To submit your work, you will first need to register (as "author"). The Quetelet Journal has no author-side article processing charge or submission-related charge.

Throughout the review process, emphasis will be placed on scientific rigour rather than the direction of the results—be they positive, negative, or null—aligning with the principles of “Blind-result review”.

Replicable research

We encourage the authors to make their dataset and codes available through a public repository (e.g. https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/). The dataset if not exceeding 1GB, and the codes, can be shared through supplementary files to the article on the journal website (with the same copyright specification as for the main paper).

Peer Review Process

Submissions are subject to a standard review process. Any submitted article is transmitted anonymously (double-blind review) to at least two reviewers, one of whom is a member of the Editorial Team. The publication must be approved by all co-authors.

During the review process, authors should not withdraw their article or submit it to another outlet. The journal will not publish an article that has already been published elsewhere or is currently under consideration by another journal.

Submissions must take the form of regular articles.
