The Process

1 Submit a Proposal

To begin the process, submit an article proposal. At this point you do not need to submit the article itself, but you will need the following: short/long descriptions, keywords, focus, themes, and biographical information.

If your article is an extension of a presentation from Spaces and Flows: International Conference on Urban and ExtraUrban Studies and your presentation proposal has been reviewed and accepted, then you can move directly to the next step.

2 Gather Feedback

Once your article proposal has been reviewed you will be notified of the decision.

If your proposal is accepted, at this point, you will be asked to submit the full article, and it will receive an initial editorial check.

Next, your article will move into the peer review phase. This process is anonymous—we do not provide identifying information about the author or reviewers. (Please be sure to remove identifying information from submissions, such as author self-citations.) Each article is assigned to two reviewers with editorial experience and/or relevant expertise. After your article is reviewed, you will receive the reviewers’ feedback and publication recommendations.

Once complete, your work will be published in the journal. At this point, you may also elect to make your article available Hybrid Open Access.
