The International Journal of Communication and Development (RICD) is a scientific publication rooted in Europe and Latin America Network of Communication and Development (REAL_CODE) . REAL_CODE was promoted by Galician universities and led by research Gi-1927 "Communication and Citizenship” (CIDACOM) from Santiago de Compostela University.
RICD assumes Compostela’s Manifesto, signed in 2011 by REAL_CODE founding groups. The Manifesto  encourages to set up a new insight of the relation between Communication and Development, as diverse and transversal processes which shape social changes. The editorial policy intends to give priority to field researches made altogether with civic organisations and entities.
