With this issue our review Quantum begins its second series editing.  This resurgence  has been  highly required by our faculty's academic community. In the former years, research has been canalized through our (Economics and Statistics) Institutes publications or by academics endeavour to cover participation in various events and publishing in several foreign journals.

However, many investigations could not overcome the stage of mere papers presented at conferences, with the consequent loss for the academic community, as a consequence of their low coverage. This fact is a strong weakness in the current university context, due to academics’ careers tend to rely (in some way) on the publication of research in well-known journals with recognized prestige.

In addition, considerable efforts are being made on our strategic plan execution to consolidate research in the existing institutes topics and to also impel new research structures generation   in the areas of Administration and Accounting.

Therefore, in order to provide Uruguayan university professors the opportunity to publish their research, the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Administration of the University of the Republic has undertaken to edit a Uruguayan journal, arbitrated by well-known reviewers, to gather the most significant contributions in a number of different areas. , Therefore, this publication seeks to fill the existing emptiness originated by the absence of a specialized national magazine in Administration, Accounting and Economics.

We will print a traditional on paper review, with a simultaneous presence in digital media. We hope we'll be able to deliver a copy to all the national and foreign academic units with which we are related, besides to our country's social and economic actors who are interested in our work. Since the third number we will try to make subscriptions both as a way to quantify the interest in the contents and to finance Quantum’s continuity.

I conclude by expressing my overwhelming satisfaction with this endeavour. Our academics have produced in the past, and nowadays produce, high-quality research. If we provide them with the opportunity to publish their research, I do not have any doubt that this review will become over time, a publisher's and bibliographical reference, not only for the Uruguayan scientific media but also for the Latin American and foreign media.
