Journal overview

International Journal of Urban Sciences ( IJUS) is an interdisciplinary journal for scientific research and analytical methods on urban and regional studies. IJUS welcomes submissions in the areas of planning, transportation, economics, environment and geography, particularly those that consider the spatial context and focus on issues of theory, method, and public policy.

In addition to research articles, IJUS accepts insight papers that are expressed in non-traditional formats such as commentaries on urban policy, extended book reviews, interventions to current academic debates, descriptions of major consultancy works, short case studies, and others.

IJUS uses double anonymized peer review, and the time from submission to decision is normally within 90 days.
