International Regional Science Review
International Regional Science Review
The International Regional Science Review is a refereed journal published by Sage. Regional Science began in the 1950s as a multidisciplinary effort to strengthen the regional and spatial aspects of theoretical and quantitative research in the social sciences - particularly economics, geography, and demography - and to improve the analytical foundations of urban and regional planning. Since then regional scientists have developed methods and theoretical frameworks specifically designed for spatial analysis. The journal focuses on issues of theory, method, and public policy where the spatial or regional dimension is central.
Investigaciones Regionales
The Spanish Regional Science Association (AECR) has launched a new journal on regional analysis and policy: Investigaciones Regionales. It is conceived as a forum to publish qualified contributions on territorial problems, mainly within the Spanish and Latin America.
The issues' content is divided into four sections. The first and second include the contributions selected for publication as articles and notes. The third section (Debates and Policy) contains papers dealing with recent evolution and professional positions of a relevant topic or controversial regional matter. The final section includes book reviews. The text will be normally published in Spanish. Prof. Juan R. Cuadrado is the Editor, assisted by an editorial board and a scientific international council.
Papers submitted to the Journal for publication will be reviewed by two external referees. Contributions related to territory (regional and urban aspects, transport, environment, territorial planning, regional and local financing, sustainability, etc.) will be welcome. Research carried out on geographical, economic, political, sociological fields, etc. will have room in the journal, according to the interdisciplinary nature of Regional Science. More details and instructions for authors can be found at:

Jahrbuch für Regionalwissenschaft
Jahrbuch für Regionalwissenschaft
The Review of Regional Research is a refereed journal published by the German-speaking section of the Regional Science Association International, Gesellschaft für Regionalforschung. Since its inception in 1980 the journal's central aim has been to publish high-grade papers providing innovative and substantial contributions to theoretical as well as empirical topics in regional science. The journal is interdisciplinary orientated with its scientific scope including in particular economics, geography, sociology, spatial and urban planning, population studies, resource management as well as communication and transportation science. Manuscripts may be submitted in German or in English language alternatively. All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind referee-system. Jahrbuch für Regionalwissenschaft is issued twice a year at Physica-Verlag (Springer).
Journal of Economic Geography
The Journal of Economic Geography has been founded with the goal to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, to catalyze the 'meeting of minds' between the disciplines urged by The Economist, and to provide a world-class core journal in the field for the new millennium. Published on a quarterly basis, the journal is steered by a distinguished Editorial team and Editorial Board drawn equally from the two disciplines. It seeks to publish original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of 'economic geography' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
Journal of Geographical Systems
Journal of Geographical Systems
Journal of Geographical Systems, a journal dedicated to geographical information, analysis, theory, and decision making, aims to encourage and promote high quality scholarship on important theoretical and practical issues in regional science, geography, the environmental sciences, and planning. One of the distinctive features of the journal is its concern for the interface between mathematical modeling, geographical information sciences, and regional issues. The journal encourages interdisciplinary communication and research, especially on the themes of spatial analysis, spatial theory and spatial decision systems. Journal of Geographical Systems promotes interaction between the theorists and users of geographical information sciences and practitioners in the fields of regional science, geography, and planning.
Journal of Geography and Regional Planning
The Journal of Geography and Regional Planning (JGRP) is an open access journal that publishes high-quality solicited and unsolicited articles, in English, in all areas of Journal of Geography and Regional Planning. All articles published in JGRP will be peer-reviewed. The Journal of Geography and Regional Planning will be published monthly (one volume per year) by Academic Journals.
Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy
Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy
The Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy is now provieed on-line in open access. JRAP is the scholarly publication of the Mid-Continent Regional Science Association and has been in print for 36 years. All past and current issues are now available for free to the regional science community. By making JRAP open access the MCRSA has made a commitment to providing full access to broader community.The profile of the membership and the meetings of the Mid-continent Regional Science Association (the parent organization of JRAP) tend to reflect the applied, focused nature of regional science.
Journal of Regional Science
Founded by the Regional Science Research Institute over 35 years ago, the Journal of Regional Science has been publishing unique and provocative articles and research papers in the field or regional science. It has brought to regional and urban analysis the most useful techniques from other fields as well. Since its inception, the journal has enjoyed a reputation as the leading-edge of regional economic research. Today, with its mix of theoretical, methodological, and empirical research, along with its consistent editorial focus, the Journal of Regional Science remains one of the most highly-cited and prestigious journals in the field.
Journal of Urban Affairs
Focusing on urban research and policy analysis, the Journal of Urban Affairs is among the most widely cited journals in the field. Published for the Urban Affairs Association, the journal offers multidisciplinary perspectives and explores issues of relevance to both scholars and practitioners including theoretical, conceptual, or methodological approaches to metropolitan and community problems; empirical research that advances the understanding of society; strategies for social change in the urban milieu; innovative urban policies and programs and issues of current interest to those who work in the field and those who study the urban and regional environment.
Journal of Urban Economics
Journal of Urban Economics
The Journal of Urban Economics is the leading journal for articles that illustrate empirical, theoretical, positive, and normative approaches to urban economics. The journal also features brief notes that contain new information, provide commentary on published work, and make new theoretical suggestions about theory.
Location Science
The primary focus of this journal is on research directed to extending and applying the theory and modeling of location decisions. The journal also publishes papers which address the underlying processes related to locational decisions, the determination of parameters associated with location problems, and issues of implementation. The submission of papers which apply locational constructs to non-locational problems is encouraged. In addition, the journal occasionally publishes articles reporting on specific applications of location modeling, as well as invited literature reviews and perspectives. These latter articles include, but are not limited to, recommendations for future research, analysis of failures in past research and historical overviews. Due to the complexity, strategic importance, and widespread application of location analysis, it has attracted the interest of researchers from many academic disciplines. These include economics, engineering, geography, logistics, marketing, mathematics, management information systems, operations research, regional science and planning, among others. It is intended that the journal will be representative of the various academic disciplines involved in location analysis. An important goal of the journal is to encourage interdisciplinary communication and research.
