About the journal
Landscape and Urban Planning is concerned with conceptual, scientific, and design approaches to land use. It emphasizes ecological understanding and a multi-disciplinary approach to analysis, planning and design. The journal attempts to draw attention to the interrelated nature of problems posed by nature and human use of land.
Papers dealing with ecological processes interacting within urban areas, and between these areas and the surrounding natural systems which support them, will be considered. Manuscripts in which specific problems such as social and cultural approaches to landscape issues are examined are welcome.
Topics might include but are not limited to landscape ecology, landscape planning and landscape design.
Landscape ecology examines how heterogeneous combinations of ecosystems are structured, how they function and how they change.Landscape planning examines the various ways humans structure their land use changes. Landscape design involves the physical strategies and forms by which land use change is actually directed. The journal is based on the premise that research linked to practice will ultimately improve the human made landscape.

I. Types of Contribution
1. Original full papers (Regular Papers) Original papers should report the results of original research. The material must not have been previously published elsewhere.
2. Review articles Reviews should cover a part of the subject of active current interest. They may be submitted or invited.
3. Book Reviews Book Reviews will be included in the journal on a range of relevant books which are not more than 2 years old.
We do not have a fixed limit of paper length, however, full papers usually are between 4.000 - 8.000 words.
II. Manuscript submission
Authors should submit their manuscripts to the Editor-in-Chief or the Associate Editors, depending on your geographic location (see below) via the online submission page of this journal at http://ees.elsevier.com/land Authors will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the author's home page. A printed copy of the manuscript is not required at any stage of the process.
Manuscripts should be assigned to the appropriate regional editor:
Papers from the Americas and Africa: Dr. Jon E. Rodiek Department of Landscape, Architecture and Urban Planning. Texas A & M University, USA.
Papers from Asia, Australia and New Zealand: Dr. Jon E. Rodiek Department of Landscape, Architecture and Urban Planning. Texas A & M University, USA.
Papers from Europe: Dr. Barbel Tress and Dr. Gunther Tress. Department of Geography and Environment. University of Aberdeen, UK.
2. Required material and ethics a) Original work Submission of an article implies that it is not being considered contemporaneously for publication elsewhere. Submission of multi-authored manuscripts must be with the consent of all the participating authors.
b) Cover letter Submission of a manuscript must be accompanied by a covering letter stating that: The work is all original research carried out by the authors. All authors agree with the contents of the manuscript and its submission to the journal. No part of the research has been published in any form elsewhere, unless it is fully acknowledged in the manuscript. The manuscript is not being considered for publication elsewhere while it is being considered for publication in this journal. Any research in the paper not carried out by the authors is fully acknowledged in the manuscript. All appropriate ethics and other approvals were obtained for the research.
c) Confirmation of submission After the editorial office has received your submission, you will receive a confirmation, and information about the further proceeding. The editor will decide whether a paper falls within the scope of the journal and is of sufficient standard to be sent for independent peer-review. Any manuscript not being sent for independent peer-review will be returned to the author(s) as soon as possible.
d) Potential reviewers You are at liberty to suggest the names of up to three potential referees (with full contact details).
III. Setting up and formatting your manuscript
1. General information
Set up your document one-sided, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. Use line numbering throughout the document. Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Number every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references tables, etc. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively. Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above).
2. Title pages and mentioning of authors' names
Set up two title pages for your manuscript. The first title page contains all authors' contact information and the title of the manuscript. The first title page may be separated from the manuscript for the review process. The second title page contains the title of the manuscript, as well as abstract and keywords (see sections IV.1 and IV.2 for further details). Please do not state authors' names anywhere else in your manuscript, nor in the figure captions. An exception is the quotation of own work.
3. Language
Please assure your manuscript is written in excellent English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these).
Information on author-paid and pre-accept language editing services available to authors can be found at http://authors.elsevier.com, by clicking on "Guide to Publishing with Elsevier."
IV. Structure of the manuscript
1. First title page
a) Title of manuscript State the title of the manuscript. The title should be concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
b) Author(s) names and affiliation(s) State the authors' first and family names (put family name in capitals) and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names and only in English. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and also in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and e-mail address of each author.
c) Corresponding author Clearly indicate who is the corresponding author, willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure the corresponding author's telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
d) Present address If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
2. Second title page
a) Title State again the title of the manuscript.
b) Abstract Provide a concise and factual abstract (maximum length of 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the methods, the principal results, major points of discussion, and conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
c) Keywords Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Avoid the use of entire phrases as keywords and do not repeat words that were already used in the title. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
3. Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background to the international context in which the research is carried out.
4. Materials and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
5. Results
Provide your main results in a concise manner. Avoid overlap between figures, tables, and text.
6. Discussions and Conclusions
Indicate significant contributions of your findings, their limitations, advantages and possible applications. Discuss your own results in the light of other international research.
7. Acknowledgements
Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received and all appropriate ethics and other approvals obtained for the research, before the references. Place in a separate section, and not as a footnote on the title page.
8. Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: (Eq. A.1), (Eq. A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, (Eq. B.1) and so forth.
9. References
Assertions made in the paper that are not supported by your research must be justified by appropriate references. Follow the journal format for references precisely. Ensure all references cited in the text are in the reference list (and vice versa). See section V. below for more detailed information.
10. Captions, tables, and figures
Present these, in this order, at the end of the article. They are described in more detail below (see section VI.). High-resolution graphics files must always be provided separate from the main text file in the final version accepted for publication.
11. Footnotes
Footnotes should not be used.
12. Nomenclature and units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI.
13. Preparation of supplementary data
Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com.
V. Referencing
1. Citations in the text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Conference proceedings abstracts and grey literature (research reports and limited circulation documents) are not acceptable citations. Citation of a reference as 'in press' means that the item has been accepted for publication.
2. Citing and listing of web references
As a minimum, the full URL and last access date should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
3. Citing in the text
Citations in the text should be:
Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ...."
4. List of references
References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. You may use the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and the full journal reference to cite articles in press.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication: Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J.A.J., Lupton, R.A., 2000. The art of writing a scientific article. J. Sci. Commun. 163, 51-59.
Reference to a book: Strunk Jr., W., White, E.B., 1979. The Elements of Style, third ed. Macmillan, New York.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book: Mettam, G.R., Adams, L.B., 1999. How to prepare an electronic version of your article, in: Jones, B.S., Smith , R.Z. (Eds.), Introduction to the Electronic Age. E-Publishing Inc., New York, pp. 281-304.
Journal names should be abbreviated according to list of serial title word abbreviations. See http://www.issn.org/lstwa.html for more information.
5. Digital Object Identifier (DOI):
In addition to regular bibliographic information, the digital object identifier (DOI) may be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alpha-numeric character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. The assigned DOI never changes. Therefore, it is an ideal medium for citing a document, particularly 'Articles in press' because they have not yet received their full bibliographic information. The correct format for citing a DOI is shown as follows (example taken from a document in the journal Physics Letters B): doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2003.10.071
NB: Please give as much bibliographic information as possible with the DOI. Please give the name(s) of the author(s), title of the paper, journal name and if possible year of publication.
When you use the DOI to create URL hyperlinks to documents on the web, they are guaranteed never to change.
VI. Other Manuscript Submission Information
1. Preparation of illustrations
Submitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail.
We urge you to visit the Elsevier Electronic Artwork Guide at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
2. Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has pre-printed forms for use by authors in these cases: contact ES Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford, OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com
3. Costs for colour prints
a) Colour illustrations in print Colour illustrations in print will be charged to the author. Illustration costs are EURO 350 for every first page. All subsequent pages cost EURO 175.
b) Colour illustrations on the web (ScienceDirect) Colour illustrations in the web (ScienceDirect) are free of charge.
If you want a colour illustration on the web and the same illustration in black and white in the print version of the journal, please note that you will then have to submit two different illustration files, one colour and one black and white version.
Please see detailed information on illustrations in section VI. of this Guide for authors.
4. Proofs
When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely your responsibility.
A form with queries from the copyeditor may accompany your proofs. Please answer all queries and make any corrections or additions required. The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated. Return corrections within 2 days of receipt of the proofs. Should there be no corrections, please confirm this.
Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. In order to do this we need your help. When you receive the (PDF) proof of your article for correction, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete. Note that this does not mean you have any less time to make your corrections, just that only one set of corrections will be accepted.
5. Tracking your article
Authors can keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway: http://authors.elsevier.com/
6. Offprints
25 reprints will be supplied free of charge to the principal author of the paper. Additional reprints may be ordered on the reprint order form which will be supplied with publication details of the accepted paper. There are no mandatory page charges.
IX. Submission Checklist
