- Eastern European Journal for Regional Studies | DOAJ - Directory of OA Journals
The Eastern European Journal for Regional Studies (EEJRS) is an open-access journal, dedicated to fostering an effective interaction between innovation, education and research in the Eastern European countries in order to better understand the transformations induced by European integration and other regional processes.
- European Urban and Regional Studies | SAGE Journals
European Urban and Regional Studies is a vital resource which meets the needs of policy-makers, academic analysts and commentators.
This major journal provides a forum for dialogue across the different intellectual fields that inform European urban and regional development issues. In addition to exploring the ways in which place, space and scale make a difference to the cultural, economic, social and political map of Europe, European Urban and Regional Studies highlights the connections between theoretical analysis and policy development. The journal conceives Europe in broad terms as a highly variegated regional system shaped by interconnections and dynamics stretching from the local to the global.
- International Regional Science Review | SAGE Journals
International Regional Science Review is an international forum for economists, geographers, planners, and other social scientists to share important research findings and methodological breakthroughs. The journal serves as a catalyst for improving spatial and regional analysis within the social sciences and stimulating communication among the disciplines. IRSR deliberately helps define regional science by publishing key interdisciplinary survey articles that summarize and evaluate previous research and identify fruitful research directions. Focusing on issues of theory, method, and public policy where the spatial or regional dimension is central, IRSR strives to promote useful scholarly research that is securely tied to the real world.
- Journal of Urban Mobility
The Journal of Urban Mobility is a fully Open Access journal, offering prompt publication and wide dissemination of new urban mobility research to a global audience. The journal publishes peer-reviewed contributions in all areas of urban mobility.
- OECD Urban Studies
OECD Urban Studies explore how to define cities and assess their performance on a wide range of policies that affect urban development and the wellbeing of residents, from housing, transport and land use to innovation and metropolitan governance. Urban policy reviews provide a comprehensive assessment of how systems of cities are working in a given country and put forward recommendations to improve the success of national urban policy and apply an “urban lens” to other relevant policies. Thematic reports offer cross-cutting data and policy advice on major topics in urban development such as ageing, migration, climate change, circular economy, metropolitan governance and investment in smart cities.
