About the journal

The Journal of the American Planning Association (JAPA) is the premier scholarly journal in the field of planning and urban development. For more than 60 years, the quarterly JAPA has published the most current research, commentaries, and reviews on planning and urban development for planners, policymakers, and academicians.

JAPA serves the practitioners of local, regional, and state planning in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and consulting firms. It also serves government and nonprofit specialists in areas such as housing policy, transportation policy, community development, and environmental protection. A third audience is scholars and teachers in planning and related fields in the natural and social sciences.

A Brief History

The Journal of the American Planning Association traces its origins to the National Conference on City Planning (NCCP), first held in 1909. From 1915 to 1918, the NCCP's technical division, the American City Planning Institute (ACPI), published a quarterly called The City Plan. It was revived and published from 1925 to 1934 as City Planning and again in 1935 as the Planners' Journal.

In 1938, ACPI became the American Institute of Planners, and in 1944 changed the journal's title to the Journal of the American Institute of Planners. After a 1978 merger with the American Society of Planning Officials formed the American Planning Association, the journal's title was changed again to reflect its new sponsor.

Articles on Research and Practice

JAPA publishes articles that describe and analyze the complex process of planning for change in urban, suburban, and rural areas. With a focus on policies, techniques, and plans, JAPA aspires to present diverse perspectives on the planning discipline.

Contributors are drawn widely from academics and practitioners working in the United States and other countries. Research articles analyze planning techniques and programs, anticipate problems, and suggest possible solutions. Noted planning experts and others identify important social, economic, and political issues; special-focus sections highlight specific interest areas.

JAPA publishes articles dealing with:

Citizen participation and dispute resolution

Planning theory, ethics, and professional practice

Methods, information systems, and mapping

Demographic and spatial analysis

Land use, zoning, growth management, and planning law

Housing, community development, and real estate

Transportation, infrastructure, and capital facilities

Economic development, employment, and the workplace

Environment, energy, and natural resources

Health, education, and social services

Architecture, design, historic preservation, and urban form

Public administration and politics

Manuscript Submission and Review

The Journal publishes only original material. Manuscripts submitted for review must differ substantially from other published work by the same author or authors. Disclose such related work, whether already published or in preparation, at the time of submission, and any sources of funding for the research. If you have questions, consult the editor.

Simultaneous submission of a manuscript to other publications is unacceptable. Submission to JAPA implies the author's commitment to publish there.

The maximum length for a paper is ordinarily 5,000 words of main text, excluding tables, figures, notes, and references. Excellent shorter papers will receive especially favorable consideration.

The editor will respond to the author within four weeks, indicating whether the manuscript will be peer-reviewed. Only papers with clear potential for publication in JAPA will be peer-reviewed. The editor asks reviewers to judge papers based on accuracy, quality of logic, writing, and research methods, contributions to JAPA 's mission, and appeal to potential readers. The editor has final authority in all editorial decisions.

Manuscript Preparation

Submit the manuscript as an electronic file attached to an e-mail message to the editor, formatted as follows:

    • Files: Send only MS Word for PC or Rich Text Format (RTF) files formatted to eliminate any special coding such as that created by reference citation software. When submitting a paper for review, do not send multiple files, but include tables and figures in the manuscript file. However, consult the editor before sending files larger than 2 MB. Send graphics files with resolution of at least 300 d.p.i. only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
    • Type: Use 12-point Times New Roman type.
    • Spacing and margins: Double space all copy. Left justify the main text and indent first lines of paragraphs rather than spacing between them. Avoid tabs.
    • Cover Sheet: Place the title, author name(s), the actual word count for the main text, and a biographical sketch of no more than 50 words for each author on the cover page.
    • Page numbering: Number all pages except the cover sheet. On page 1, repeat the title, followed by an abstract summarizing the main conclusions of the paper in no more than 150 words. Start the main body of the paper on page 2.
    • Tables and figures: JAPA encourages using appropriate graphics to explain, illustrate, and summarize concepts and results without lengthy prose. Place tables in numerical order at the end of the paper, followed by figures, with each table and figure on a separate page. Keep titles and captions brief. Place titles above tables, and captions beneath figures. Do not embed numbers or captions in images; instead, place them outside the image, but on the same page. In the text, indicate the appropriate location of each table and figure on a separate line, after the paragraph where it first appears. Use the form: [Figure 1 about here.]
    • Notes: Use notes sparingly and keep them brief. Provide notes as a numbered list at the end of the text, not as footnotes on each page.
Citations and references: Format all citations and corresponding entries in the list of references according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition (American Psychological Association, 2001), except include both volume and issue number for all periodicals. When citing information from the web, include the date it was retrieved as well as the exact URL.

Graphic Materials

To help JAPA provide the highest quality graphics, use the following guidelines:

Permissions
The author is responsible for obtaining permission to use any copyrighted graphic materials. Ownership should be acknowledged in the caption. See recent issues of JAPA for examples.

Size of Images
Maximum image area is 7 inches wide x 8.5inches high. We strongly prefer portrait orientation so the reader does not have to shift the page to see the image upright.

Size all graphic materials (tables, graphs, photos, maps, illustrations) to fit the width of 1 column (3.3 in.) or 2 columns (7 in.). If artwork needs to be enlarged or reduced significantly to fit the format of the Journal , the quality will suffer.

Color of Images
Graphic materials (tables, charts, graphs, maps, line drawings, etc.) must be black and white. Color photos may be acceptable, depending on the image; they will be converted to b/w.

Shading of Images
Grayscale shading is acceptable on digitally created images. Shading on scanned images will contain distortions that are not acceptable. When in doubt, use line and crosshatch patterns.

Tables
Follow as closely as possible the format of tables in recent issues of JAPA. Do not exceed seven or eight columns, depending on the content. (Remember that column heads are often wider than the data.) Use 10-point Times New Roman type, 9-point if space is tight.

Graphs and Charts
Graphs and charts should fit the width of 1 or 2 columns as described in "Size of Images" above.

For labels use 9-point or 10-point Times New Roman type.

Graphics in Electronic Form: Digital Files
For graphic materials created on a computer, a digital file is required whenever possible. These may be sent by e-mail or on disk.

We prefer files in Adobe Photoshop or tif format for illustrations and jpg for photos. The minimum resolution required is 300 dpi. We can also use Excel files.

Please note: We cannot use drawings created in word processing programs or objects embedded in the text file. We cannot use ArcView files.

Each image must be a separate file. The file name should include the ms number, primary author's last name, figure or table number (for example: 60603R Briggs Fig1.jpg). List each file name in the e-mail message.

Graphics in Hard Copy Only
For graphic materials not available in electronic form (maps, photographs, reproductions from other publications, etc.), the author is expected to make every effort to acquire and provide the earliest-generation, highest-quality version possible. Photocopies are not acceptable. Electronic scans are generally not acceptable.
