About Smart Cities
Aims
Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511) provides an advanced forum for the dissemination of information on the science and technology of smart cities, publishing reviews, regular research papers (articles) and communications in all areas of research concerning smart cities. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible, with no restriction on the maximum length of the papers published so that all experimental results can be reproduced.
Where applicable, articles should combine modeling/simulations and/or experimentation for idea validation. Simulation tests virtually validate the proposed methods, while experiments provide real-world validation, fostering collaboration and robust inquiry.
The journal also seeks contributions that focus on the analysis and assessment of smart city development and management regarding city design, governance and policy implementation. These contributions should involve new and interesting aspects and be based on solid theoretical foundations. They should also go beyond specific city profiles and enhance the overall theoretical and conceptual understanding of smart cities and territories.
