A New Type of Manuscript: Commentaries

The Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS) is excited to announce a new category of manuscripts: Commentaries, which details are as follows.

Commentaries

Commentaries will provide reflections or discussion about a recent article published in the journal or an emerging topic related to journal aims and scope. In the case of reflections or discussion about a recently published article, the original author will be afforded an opportunity to provide a response to the Commentary. Commentaries are invited by a journal Editor from time to time; however, the manuscript will undergo the same peer review process as all other article categories. Commentaries (and responses) will be 2,000-3,000 words and may contain 1-2 figures.
