Description

The International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR)) publishes original theoretical and innovative empirical research on the many aspects of the emerging interdisciplinary area of urban e-planning. The journal is mainly focused on urban e-planning theory, history, methods, ethics, best practices, urban e-planning pedagogy, future developments, and on the software technology associated with urban e-planning. Due to its comprehensive coverage, as well as its expanding list of contributors from more than 30 countries from America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, and its highly qualified list of reviewers from 40 countries and all continents, this journal has been accepted into prestigious indices, most notably Web of Science® – Emerging Sources Citation Index®, Scopus®, Compendex®, INSPEC®, and more. Headed by an editor who has extensively contributed to IGI Global publications and others within their field of research, this journal provides emerging findings through full-length research manuscripts and featured open access articles. Additionally, the IJEPR has also been included in the list of notable scientific journals by the Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes for 2018-2020 and is associated with the 'Urban e-Planning Research Network' and the International Conferences on 'Urban e-Planning', convened by its editor-in-chief, and whose consolidated list of participants comprises delegates from 30+ countries from all continents.
