The Journal of Real Estate Literature (JREL) is a publication of the American Real Estate Society (ARES). It is different from most academic journals in that it is composed of several sub-sections with different purposes. While these have changed over time, the current format of the journal contains the following sub-sections: (1) Review Articles, which provide an overall understanding of what has been done in the past on a particular area within real estate, and what should be done in the future; (2) International Articles, which share research from under-developed markets and in regions of the world where ARES sister societies do not exist and service with their own journals; (3) Data, Methods, and Technology, which promotes real estate research through sharing with authors where to find data to help carry out their studies; demonstrates how to conduct methodologies that are commonly enough used to be relevant to a wide readership, but not so common that the methodology need not be explained; and shares the latest in technological breakthroughs to keep readers up-to-date; and (4) Book Reviews, provided in the final section. JREL articles have historically been heavily cited and are a great way to increase your visibility in the field.
Peer Review Policy:
All articles submitted to this journal undergo a “double-anonymous” peer review by two to three referees after initial screening by the editor or designate.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
