The Journal of Sustainable Real Estate (JOSRE) is a publication of the American Real Estate Society (ARES). JOSRE publishes research relevant to all stakeholders in the built environment. Applied research examining how improved energy efficiency, environmental improvement inside buildings, resource conservation, environmental remediation, urban design, technology, property valuation, and related topics facilitates the potential for improved human productivity, reduced carbon footprint, more livable urban form and related positive externalities. JOSRE’s research connects across architecture, construction, economics, environmental studies, finance, law, marketing, management, real estate, transportation, and urban planning disciplines. JOSRE’s publications move the globe towards a more sustainable world through cross-disciplinary research and study.
Like other journals, JOSRE uses a double-anonymized review process and has high academic standards. Unlike other journals, we post cases and industry resources useful for those who teach or want to learn more about sustainability. We encourage the use of color in graphs and live resource links in our journal articles.
The Editors of The Journal of Sustainable Real Estate are dedicated to working with scholars in existing and emerging markets to produce high quality papers to expand knowledge in the field of sustainability and the built environment.
American Real Estate Society (ARES) members may publish one article per year free of article publishing charges (APCs), subject to it being accepted following peer review, with an eligible discount code provided upon submission.
Peer Review Policy: All Original 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:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
