The annual journal Regional Development Studies encourages the submission of articles from researchers in the following aspects of regional development in developing countries: human security, environmental management, disaster management, as well as local and regional economic development.
The journal is published jointly by the University of Nairobi and the United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD).
The call for articles stipulates that ‘authors should ensure that their manuscripts are original, unpublished works which are not being submitted for publication in other journals or books. Also, authors are responsible for the accuracy of facts and opinions expressed in their various articles. The preferred length of articles is in the range of 6,000 to 8,000 words with a 300 word abstract, together with key words. Articles should be in English with submissions preferably in electronic file form. The journal is black and white, with no color reproduction. Maps and other figures should, as far as possible, be camera ready for printing. Photographed images cannot be published.’
Past publications of the journal can be accessed from the UNCRD website (click here).
