Smart Cities | Aims and Scope Update

To further enhance the quality of Smart Cities and the papers published in the journal, under the guidance of the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Pierluigi Siano, the journal has updated and revised its aims and scope. The original aim and scope and the updated version are listed below:

Aims (new version):

Aims (old version):

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 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.

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 so that the full experimental results can be reproduced. Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are particularly welcome.

A further unique feature of this journal is that electronic files and software providing full details of the calculations and experimental procedures, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as Supplementary Materials.
