Journal of Architecture, Built Environment and Urban Science is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme, focused on Architecture, Built Environment and Urban Science. Its scope is organized into academic sections covering Architectural Design Research, Building Performance, Urban Analytics, Smart Buildings, Digital Construction & BIM, Sustainable Architecture, Urban Planning, Building Energy, Indoor Environment and Heritage & Adaptive Reuse. This structure helps authors assess disciplinary fit and gives readers a clear route through the journal’s subject coverage. The journal welcomes original research article, review article, systematic review, short communication and other contributions described in its author guidance when they fit the scope. Suitable work may use analytical design, simulation, laboratory or field experiments, prototype development, measurement, manufacturing studies or systems evaluation. Authors should report the materials, equipment, boundary conditions, calibration and comparison methods needed to assess the results, and discuss uncertainty and limitations. Authors should engage relevant scholarship, explain the contribution and report limitations needed for critical assessment. Editorial assessment considers journal fit, methodological or interpretive quality, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Submission information is provided on this site; manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.
