Area Development and Policy (ADP) aims to be a world class journal publishing original academic research examining the economic, political, cultural and geographical contexts which play a fundamental role in shaping and developing regions, cities, rural areas and the relationships between them.
ADP concentrates on issues relating to the Greater BRICS and welcomes submissions emerging from these countries as well from the developed world. ADP places an emphasis on research which examines the role of diverse institutional configurations and values at both national and regional levels within the Greater BRICS, and believes that theories should derive from the experiences of these countries and regions and not necessarily from the (possibly exceptional) experiences of Northwest Europe and North America.
ADP is dedicated to expanding common ground while accepting differences, improving mutual communication and increasing cooperation and shared learning.
To be accepted, a paper must adhere to a high standard of scholarship and make an important and original contribution to this emerging field.
Along with standard Research Articles (8,000 words) and Review Articles (6,000 words), Area Development and Policy also welcomes Research Notes (short articles presenting the results of original research and which briefly situates the research in relation to the existing empirical and theoretical literature) of up to 4,000 words, and Commentaries (short articles commenting in a significant way on, or supplementing arguments and evidence in, a Research Article or a Review Article) of up to 2,000 words.
Peer Review Statement
All submitted research is subject to rigorous peer review, involving initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two referees. In the light of the referee reports, contributions will be evaluated and decisions made by a distinguished board of Editors and accepted for publication only if they meet high scholarly standards of originality, significance and rigour in advancing understanding of area development and policy.
