International Journal of Urban and Regional Research

Academic journal

The International Journal of Urban and Regional Research (IJURR) is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the IJURR Foundation. It was established in 1977 by a group of editors, who partnered with Edward Arnold for publishing. Blackwell (now Wiley-Blackwell) took over publishing from Edward Arnold in 1991. The owners transferred IJURR to a charity (now known as the IJURR Foundation) in 1995.[1] IJURR published quarterly until 2010. The journal covers urban and regional research topics from a social sciences perspective. The journal has an "Interventions" section, and also publishes book reviews, theoretical articles, and symposia (collections of articles on a more narrowly defined topic).
