ABOUT EURE

Since 1970, the Institute of Urban and Territorial Studies at Pontificia Universidad Católica of Chile has regularly published EURE – Journal for Latin American Regional Urban Studies.
EURE is a specialized journal covering regional and urban studies, publishing original articles and cutting edge research that specifically have a Latin American context.

EURE is a quarterly publication with an International Advisory Board made up of over one hundred leading researchers and practitioners specializing in urban-regional topics, and an Editorial Committee to ensure a high standard of publication is maintained. In the last four decades EURE has achieved international exposure, reaching the majority of academic centers devoted to studying urban and regional development issues. This has led to many renowned specialists, in this field of expertise, to collaborate with the journal.

Since 1997, EURE has been a part of the ScIELO Project (developed in Chile by CONICYT), which has effectively increased its profile in the Latin-American region. Since 2001, EURE has been listed in Thomson Scientific Index (better know as Thomson Reuters ISI), making it the first journal published by Universidad Católica to receive this accreditation.

EDITORIAL POLICY AND PROCESS

Original manuscripts submitted for publication will go through several phases of assessment. First, the article will undergo a preliminary evaluation by members of the Editorial Committee, the Director and/or Editor, who will determine its’ relevance for publication in EURE. Submissions considered overly narrow or localized in scope will not be considered, nor will submissions that do not explicitly address a territorial aspect as a fundamental discussion. Once thematic and formal requirements are met, the manuscript will be sent for review to two members of the International Advisory Board. Each one independently and anonymously indicates whether: a) to publish without amendments, b) to publish after minor corrections have been addressed, c) to publish when a thorough review has been made or d) to reject. If a discrepancy occurs between the two assessments, the text will be sent to a third assessor whose decision will determine the matter. All academic assessment decisions are final.

Upon acceptance of the article for publication, authors must formalize the transfer of copyright to EURE, according to the terms outlined by the journal.
