Urban Studies is available to browse online.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Urban Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal for urban scholarship. We welcome all original submissions that further our understanding of the urban condition and the rapid changes taking place in cities and regions across the globe. Contributions are welcome from across the full range of social science disciplines and are expected to advance empirical and theoretical knowledge of the urban from both positive and normative perspectives. Such contributions may be formatted in a variety of ways:

  • As standard research articles of between 4,000 and 8,500 words.
  • As debates papers of between 8,000 and 10,000 words.
  • As critical commentaries of between 4,000 and 6,000 words.
  • In the form of guest edited special issues, comprising 10-12 thematically related contributions (of any of the above noted types) supported by an editorial introduction of around 5,000 words and reflective commentaries of around 3,000 words.

The journal favours contributions which move beyond the profiling of specific cities or phenomena that are relevant only to single or an extremely limited number of locations. Rather the journal seeks contributions that focus on matters that are intrinsically urban in nature and studies into urban process and urban outcomes that, while grounded in specific locations, contribute to a wider urban theoretical and conceptual understanding.

Urban Studies, which is published in association with Urban Studies Journal Limited, is committed to assisting the greatest practical extent of knowledge mobilisation of the material it publishes, including through social media, blogging and its website https://www.urbanstudiesonline.com/. The journal also publishes book reviews for relevant and significant new publications.

    Urban Studies is the leading interdisciplinary journal for critical urban research and issues. Since it was first published in 1964 to provide an international forum for research into the fields of urban and regional studies, the journal has expanded to encompass a wider range of approaches to the study of cities and regions.

    Authors should explain in their covering letter how their submitted paper engages with broad international debates in urban theory, and should consider how their paper fits with past and ongoing debates in the Urban Studies journal. We strongly encourage authors to familiarise themselves with, and cite where appropriate, articles in the journal relevant to their own perspectives and arguments.

    1. Peer review policy

    Sage does not permit the use of author-suggested (recommended) reviewers at any stage of the submission process, be that through the web-based submission system or other communication. 
    Reviewers should be experts in their fields and should be able to provide an objective assessment of the manuscript. Our policy is that reviewers should not be assigned to a paper if:

    •  The reviewer is based at the same institution as any of the co-authors
    •  The reviewer is based at the funding body of the paper
    •  The author has recommended the reviewer
    •  The reviewer has provided a personal (e.g. Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail) email account and an institutional email account cannot be found after performing a basic Google search (name, department and institution).

    2. Article types

    Research articles
    Articles may be theoretical or empirical, but authors should note that in the case of empirically focused manuscripts the subject matter should be suitably positioned in theoretical and/or conceptual terms. All articles are expected to have original content. They should not have been previously published, nor be under simultaneous consideration by another academic journal – if this is found to be the case, your paper will be withdrawn immediately. Authors should be aware that pre-posting may be used as grounds for rejection, where the editors feel that authors’ anonymity may be compromised in the review process.

    Originality, clarity of writing style, logical structure of argument and integrity of empirical data are essential for an article’s acceptance. Authors are asked to submit articles that convey a strong sense of urban place. Relevant contextual background must be provided to enable an international readership to be fully cognizant of the urban location under study. Any local terms must be explained. The article should not assume any prior knowledge of the local setting. Authors are encouraged to reflect on urban debates in this journal and beyond.

    Authors need to choose an analytical structure that supports the logical unfolding of the text and assists the reader in following the argument. The structure of an article is greatly enhanced by a strong introduction and conclusion. The introduction is key to signposting what the article is about and the conclusion must highlight the article’s various finding and themes, inter-relating them and drawing attention to their more general analytical significance.

    The word restriction on submitted manuscripts is between 4,000 and 8,500 words (including abstract, references, notes, appendices, tables and figures). One table or figure will count as approximately half a page of text or 250 words. If your paper exceeds the specified word limit it will be withdrawn.

    Book reviews
    A Book review should normally run to between 1200 and 1400 words, which gives scope for an assessment of the book (or books) and its contribution to knowledge and discussion within the broad field of urban studies. Book reviews should also be submitted online.

    The heading should include the title, author, origin, publisher, date, number of pages, ISBN and price, as in the following example:

    White IB, Modernism and the Spirit of the City, Routledge: London, 2003; 259 pp.: 0415258413, £24.99 (pbk).

    No payment is made for reviews, but the contributor is normally allowed to retain the book.

    Authors wishing to discuss a possible book review should contact the Reviews Editor, Michele Acuto, at michele.acuto@unimelb.edu.au.

    Publishers wishing to send out a review copy of a book may also contact Michele Acuto at michele.acuto@unimelb.edu.au

    Critical commentaries
    Critical commentaries provide a forum for debate within the urban academic community. We encourage submissions from authors capable of taking a critical issue relating to the contemporary urban condition and developing a reasoned argument, exposing, inter alia, its nature, its presentation as (policy) discourse, contradictions, and amenity to policy. A Critical commentary is less likely to offer new research findings as to present a point of view, doing so in a reasoned, powerful and less formal style than is typical for an academic paper.

    The preferred length is 4000 to 6000 words including references. 

    For examples of past Critical commentaries, please see the following:

    Ball, M. (2010) “Critical Commentary. Cities and Housing Markets: Changes and Continuities in the Aftermath of the 2007-08 World Financial Crisis”, Urban Studies, 47(5), pp. 931-944.

    Bryceson, D.F., Gough, K.V., Rigg, J. and Agergaard, J. (2009) “Critical Commentary. The World Development Report 2009”, Urban Studies, 46(4), pp.723-738.

    Gleeson, B. (2008) “Critical Commentary. Waking from the Dream: An Australian Perspective on Urban Resilience”, Urban Studies, 45(13) pp. 2653-2668.

    If you would like to discuss a possible Critical Commentary submission to Urban Studies, please contact the Critical Commentaries Editor, Alison Bain at abain@yorku.ca.

    Debates in urban studies
    We invite critical review articles that outline and assess current trends and developments in key areas of urban studies, summarising existing literature on cities and regions and taking it forward by providing fresh perspectives and insights.

    The new section will complement our existing and well-regarded Critical commentaries section. Critical commentaries allow for the development of a reasoned and powerful point of view in a somewhat less formal style than normal articles; short, topical think-pieces rather than full-length review articles. Articles in Debates in urban studies will engage with ongoing debates around specific concepts, trends and urban processes, but offer significant new insights or syntheses, extend urban debates into new areas, or capture an emergent literature around new urban phenomena. We invite papers that will promote new thinking and analysis on the broader urban condition, challenge existing thinking and wisdom, or foster debates within specialist subfields (politics and governance, economic development, culture, housing and real estate, finance and financialisation, labour markets, environment and climate transition, gentrification, marginalisation and exclusion, etc.).

    Debates in urban studies offers a potential platform for early career researchers (ECRs) who, through their PhD work or post-doctoral research, have been involved in a substantive and critical engagement with a corpus of urban literature and debate; and also to established scholars wishing to offer meta-perspectives on progress and future directions in their chosen fields of inquiry. For both ECRs and established scholars, the Debates in urban studies section provides a space for new and provocative insights on the urban condition, which, at the same time, demonstrate in-depth and critical knowledge of established and ongoing work in the field.

    We invite papers of between 8000 and 10,000 words for Debates in urban studies, to allow sufficient space for rigorous and critical dialogue with existing perspectives and traditions in urban research. We are not seeking extended literature reviews; papers must make a novel contribution, but this can be in a plethora of different ways. In this respect, innovation and creativity in approach are also encouraged.

    For further information or advice prior to submitting a paper, prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Debates Editor, Lazaros Karaliotas, at lazaros.karaliotas@glasgow.ac.uk in the first instance with a brief 150 word synopsis setting out the broad idea that they have in mind.

    3. Authorship

    Papers should only be submitted for consideration once the authorization of all contributing authors has been gathered. Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work contributed to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors.

    The list of authors should include all those who can legitimately claim authorship. This is all those who:

    (i) have made a substantial contribution to the concept and design, acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data

    (ii) drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content

    (iii) approved the version to be published.

    Authors should meet the conditions of all of the points above. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.

    When a large, multicentre group has conducted the work, the group should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship.

    Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgements section.
    Please refer to the ICMJE Authorship guidelines at https://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/....

    Please note that AI chatbots, for example ChatGPT, should not be listed as authors. For more information see the policy on Use of ChatGPT and generative AI tools.

    4. How to submit your manuscript

    Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you carefully read and adhere to all the guidelines and instructions to authors provided below. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned.

    Authors should explain in their covering letter how their submitted paper engages with broad international debates in urban theory, and should consider how their paper fits with past and ongoing debates in the Urban Studies journal. We strongly encourage authors to familiarise themselves with, and cite where appropriate, articles in the journal relevant to their own perspectives and arguments.

    If you would like to discuss your paper prior to submission, or seek advice on the submission process please contact the Editor-in-Chief, through Ruth Harkin at ruth.harkin@glasgow.ac.uk.

    Urban Studies is hosted on Sage Track a web based online submission and peer review system powered by ScholarOne™ Manuscripts. Please read the Manuscript Submission guidelines below, and then simply visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cus to login and submit your article online.

    IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past year it is likely that you will have had an account created. For further guidance on submitting your manuscript online please visit ScholarOne Online Help.

    All papers must be submitted via the online system. If you would like to discuss your paper prior to submission, please refer to the contact details below.

    Authors should ensure that submitted manuscripts include an abstract and five keywords.

    Authors should upload a title page listing the article's full title and subtitle (if any) and the full name of each author with current affiliation and full postal and email address. For the purposes of blind refereeing (submissions will be refereed anonymously by at least two referees), the title page must be supplied on a separate sheet.

    The normal expectation of the Journal is that the minimum standard level of statistical significance is 0.05 (ie 5%) or better.

    Ordinarily, the editors will only consider one submission at a time from an author. On a very exceptional basis and where the papers are dealing with very different matters, the editors may be prepared to consider a second paper. The second submission must be accompanied by a covering letter which clearly demonstrates the differences between the papers.

    4.1 ORCID

    As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.

    The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

    If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.

    5. Journal contributor's publishing agreement

    Before publication Sage requires the author to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society, and copyright is retained by Urban Studies Ltd. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the Sage Journal Author Gateway.

    Urban Studies and Sage take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of articles published in the Journal. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the Journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article (removing it from the journal); taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; banning the author from publication in the journal or all Sage journals, or appropriate legal action.

    5.1 Sage Choice and Open Access

    If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in Sage Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let Sage know directly if you are choosing Sage Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit Sage Choice.
