Christopher Colclough

Journal of Development Studies, 2015, vol. 51, issue 7, 772-783

Abstract: This paper reflects on salient aspects of the development of JDS over its first 50 years. The journal's origins and its aspirations to become the major inter-disciplinary journal in development studies are described. The rapid growth in the number of papers submitted to the journal and in the volume of its published articles are documented, and reasons for the journal's success are suggested.
