Introduction
Editor SJRD
On behalf of the Editorial Board of the journal "Spanish Journal of Rural Development (SJRD)" I present a new issue of the same, that also it gives continuity the number 1 of Volume II; by the way, which does not include a small introduction as usually we had been doing with all previously published numbers. But my personal opinion is that it is a good habit, always include a small "Introduction". Just as I comment on the earlier introduction of previous special issue, the publication of this issue 2 of Volume II, means, first, that SJRD begins to settle as an international scientific journal, we have published in less than two years of existence, a total of 9 numbers, adding the regulated and special and, on the other hand, we carry on with new projects (special issues of different themes related to rural development of the local population, monographic numbers, ...).
This, also has involved to SJRD, make the hole bigger everyday at the end of the tunnel, this allowing us to glimpse a very promising horizon. Proof of this are the variety and quality of published papers in both regulated and special numbers, the increase in the number of subscriptions and agreements with different agencies / institutions, which has allowed the publication of several special numbers in the near future. But there is no doubt that the most important thing for us has been the recognition, as nationally as internationally for our magazine, which has been reflected in the inclusion of it in important databases. That group of "people which believed one day in the future of this project", and set up "Spanish Journal of Rural Development", thank God we were not wrong, we carry on, despite the demagoguery of certain people and, other unfortunate events, which are disqualified for themselves. And not only tread on solid ground, but we're starting to build the foundations of a wonderful project. "Don Quijote I am, and my profession is knight-errant. They are my laws, resolve conflicts, lavish the good and avoid evil. I flee of the easy life, ambition and hypocrisy, and look for my own glory the more narrow and difficult path".
