Perspectives in Architecture and Urbanism

ISSN: 2950-2675

In the context of the globalization of architecture and urbanism, as well as increasing regional differences, research about architecture and urbanism has developed in diverse intellectual directions in terms of knowledge forms, ways of thinking, and theoretical paradigms. The diversity is due to not only the unique histories and experiences of architecture and urbanism in different regions but also the mutual influences among cultures, communities, and positions. Moreover, new research perspectives continue to emerge as a result of the impact of new technologies, both actual and virtual. In the midst of these dynamic changes, Perspectives in Architecture and Urbanism provides a platform for sharing new intellectual horizons and research perspectives about global issues and regional specificities related to architecture and urbanism. The journal attempts to respond to contemporary challenges such as environmental sustainability, rapid urbanization, cultural differences, and the accelerating impact of technology. The journal will include alternative, multiple, and indigenous narratives from a broad array of historical, social, cultural, and technological perspectives. In this way, readers will understand the importance of reaching beyond singular narratives of modernity to rethink the intellectual framework about, and the more holistic understanding of contemporary architecture and urbanism. This open access journal is peer-reviewed and is published quarterly, comprising both guest-edited special issues and open issues. It has four columns: "Research Articles," "Review Articles," "Opinions and Criticisms," and "Multimedia." The journal covers the following topics: Histories of global architecture and urbanism Societal, economic, and cultural perspectives on architecture and design Scientific, technological, and constructional perspectives on buildings and cities Philosophies of technology and science for environmental research Digital approaches in architectural and urban design Smart cities and design intelligence Eco-sustainability and the built environment Built heritage conservation and urban regeneration Processes, products, and performances of design practices Methods and methodologies for research in architecture and urbanism

Smart Energy

ISSN: 2666-9552

A companion journal to ENERGY, the international journal Smart Energy is an international, multi-disciplinary journal with a focus on smart energy systems design, analysis, planning and modelling. The journal aims to be a leading platform and an authoritative source of information related to the green transformation of energy supply and demand systems into future smart renewable energy and sustainable solutions. The journal covers technical and energy engineering research of technologies and system designs with a focus on energy systems. Research is welcome on the role of smart energy technologies and energy infrastructures into an energy systems context such as energy conversion, energy efficiency, energy storage, electrification, power-to-heat, power-to-gas, power-to-liquids, electrofuels, district heating, district cooling and renewable energy. The journal aims at further developing the cross-sectorial approach in smart energy systems exploiting synergies between energy efficiency and use of different energy storages also considering smart electricity grids, smart thermal grids as well as smart gas grids. Research related to such technologies in renewable energy systems focusing on system re-design, transitions, renewable energy integration, analysis, energy planning, management, financing, market designs, public regulation, economics, modelling, as well as use of smart meters, data, AI and digitalization is welcome provided such topics are within the context of the broader multi-disciplinary scope of Smart Energy. We thank Storywise for providing original design of the cover image. This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy)

Water Research X

ISSN: 2589-9147
5 Year impact factor: 8.3
Impact factor: 7.5

In association with the International Water Association Water Research X is a Gold Open Access sister journal of Water Research, featuring concise, letter-style, leading-edge research papers, visionary perspectives and editorials, and mini-reviews of emerging topics. The Journal welcomes contributions on all aspects of the science and technology of the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. A broad outline of the journal's scope includes: • Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management; • Urban hydrology including sewer systems, storm water management, and green infrastructure; • Drinking water treatment and distribution; • Potable and non-potable water reuse; • Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment; • Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions; • Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment; • Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution; • Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation; • Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts; • Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle; • Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies. Water Research X is an interdisciplinary journal with an applied edge. This means that papers that go into too many details of one of the supporting disciplines (such as chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, material sciences, etc.) without making a good link with water researching general may be rejected up-front. Water Research X has changed its paper structures, please find details in Guide for Authors (with a link to the page).
