Inaugural Collection of Reaching Regions
Submission Deadline: August 15, 2024
We are pleased to announce that Reaching Regions, the new peer-reviewed, open access, outreach journal of the North American Regional Science Council (NARSC), began accepting submissions on May 15, 2024.
As part of the launch of the journal, we are now accepting submissions for an inaugural collection of papers. The submission deadline is August 15, 2024, and we expect to publish this collection later this year.
Reaching Regions will publish contributions on topics of policy relevance to North American regions including original descriptive analyses, data visualizations, non-technical summaries of published academic research, case studies with broader implications, research syntheses, and other items approved by the Editors. All submissions should be written in non-technical language that is accessible to non-academics.
Reaching Regions will be peer-reviewed, open-access, and published fully online. NARSC members can submit papers with no submission or publication fees. Potential contributions can be submitted via the journal’s online submission portal: https://www.iastatedigitalpress.com/rreg/submissions/
Please feel free reach out if you want to discuss the suitability of your submission or broader regional science outreach efforts. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
