The focus of The Review is
based on the founding vision of the SRSA; papers of potential interest
are those that examine social, economic, political and behavioral
phenomena, which have a spatial dimension.
All manuscripts submitted to The
Review of Regional Studies cannot simultaneously be under review
at another journal. All initial submissions of manuscripts should be in
MS Word or pdf format. Final
versions must be in Word (see
style guidelines). The name(s), affiliation(s) and complete address(es) of the author(s),
title of the paper, and other identifying statements should be on a
first unnumbered page. This
page will be removed before the manuscript is sent to the referees.
The first numbered page of the paper should contain the title,
abstract, and the beginning of the text, but no reference to the
author(s) that would allow the referees to identify the author(s) or the
affiliation(s).
As a general rule, the paper should be no longer than
35 pages in 12 point Times Roman font, including references, tables and
figures. The main body of
the paper should be double-spaced.
Mathematical notation, graphics, and tables should be held to the
minimum required for presentation of the material. If provided, graphics
should be clear, even when printed in gray tones. Also tables should be
entitled and include sufficient notation that the material contained within
them are self-explanatory.
Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt through
the upload function on this website, and will receive prompt
consideration. After an initial assessment of the suitability of the
manuscript for THE REVIEW by one of the co-editors, the manuscript will
be sent to at least two referees for double-blind review.
The goal of the editors is to complete the review and respond to
the author(s) within three months. For manuscripts invited to be
resubmitted for further consideration, both the referee comments and
comments by the editor will be provided to the author(s) to facilitate
revision.
