Third IJEPR Annual Conference

««IGI Global is proud to support the Third IJEPR Annual Conference on ‘Urban e-Planning,
which will be held at the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning,
at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, on April 3-4, 2018. The
conference is convened by Dr. Carlos Nunes Silva, IGI Global contributor and Editor in Chief of the International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR),
a journal that has been accepted for inclusion into SCOPUS in 2017, and
more recently into Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index
(ESCI).
“The IJEPR Annual Conference aims to explore and to discuss recent developments, emerging issues and future challenges in the field of urban e-planning worldwide”, explains Dr. Nunes Silva. This conference will provide a forum for the critical discussion of new perspectives, approaches, methods, and tools in the field of Urban e-Planning.
The program is organized around the following themes:
• Theme 1: Smart Cities: Governance and Planning
• Theme 2: Citizens e-Participation & Collaborative Planning
• Theme 3: The Real and Virtual in Urban e-Planning
• Theme 4: Theory, Ethics and Methods in Urban e-Planning
Additionally, this third edition of the IJEPR Annual Conference will be an occasion and opportunity for research networking in the broad field of Urban e-Planning. It is expected that a selection of conference papers will be published in the IJEPR in 2019.
To stay current with the latest information about the Third Annual IJEPR Conference, monitor the conference’s website. Furthermore, be sure to recommend Dr. Nunes Silva’s journal, International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR) to your librarian. This journal contains peer-reviewed, pioneering research on emerging theoretical and empirical aspects of interdisciplinary areas of urban e-planning. Covering topics including e-planning theory, history, methods, ethics, urban e-planning pedagogy, and software technology, this journal provides scholars, researchers, students, and urban/regional planning practitioners with forward-thinking knowledge and a forum to internally exchange ideas on urban e-planning and research.
IJEPR is also part of the award-winning InfoSci Journals Database, which IGI Global is proud to offer for as low as $4,950 to new customers.

Reflections on Copy Editing for Journal Manuscripts
A Conversation with Dr.Carlos Nunes Silva: Reflections on Copy Editing for Journal Manuscripts
( SOURCE --> )
By eContent Pro
on Nov 9, 2017
Be realistic; publishers won’t release content
that’s error-ridden, sloppy, and poorly written. And for journal editors, well,
it’s usually their responsibility to ensure that each manuscript included in
upcoming issues has flawless grammar, sophisticated readability, and the
accurate use of style and formatting.
“If the content is decisive for acceptance of
the manuscript, then the language style is also important both in the review
process and later for its potential readers,” says Dr. Carlos Nunes Silva,
Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of E-Planning Research. Dr. Nunes Silva
talked with eContent Pro International about the vital role copy editing plays
in the development process of his journal’s manuscripts. Consider his
perspectives and advisements:
Q: First, what’s your favorite aspect of being
an Editor-in-Chief?
A: Being an Editor-in-Chief (EIC) is
time-consuming and requires a substantial amount of work. But, it is worth the
effort as it is a challenging, intellectually interesting, and rewarding
activity. If I have to mention three or four favorite aspects of being the EIC
of the International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR), one would
certainly to be able to see the journal growing after being founded by me in
2011/2012 and working on a regular basis with members of the Editorial Board
and with the staff at IGI Global.
Another favorite aspect is certainly the
possibility of keeping in contact with ongoing, ground-breaking research, with
new issues and emerging trends in my research field. It’s a rewarding
experience to meet and keep in contact with established scholars and rising
stars in the new generations of researchers. I feel that being the founder and
Editor-in-Chief of a journal in a new and emerging research field—Urban
e-Planning—is a contribution to the advancement of science in this field.
Q: How would you describe the writing style that
your journal expects from the contributing authors to your journal?
A: I expect a simple and well-structured
presentation of the research reported in the article. The reader should be able
to clearly identify in the initial sections of the article the research
question(s), the theoretical approach, and the methodology. Data analysis and
discussion ought to be structured according to the theoretical and
methodological approach, all based in relevant bibliographical references. The
conclusion must retain the main outcomes of the research presented and shall
not be a second abstract (summary).
Q: What approaches do you take in providing
constructive feedback to contributing authors pertaining to writing style and
copy editing?
A: I recommend professional copy editing for the
manuscript. In these cases, I tend to recommend copy editing by an
English-native professional. In some cases, I call to attention that a
next-door colleague who speaks English well is probably not the best copy
editor, and therefore, a professional should be contacted.
Q: How do you handle instances where a
manuscript is conceptually sound but in need of major copy editing?
A: It is not accepted until it meets the required
copy-editing quality and criteria. It is the author’s responsibility to submit
a fully edited manuscript.
Q: In your expert opinion, what role does
copy-edited content play in the success of your journal in particular?
A: Although the journal was recently inaugurated,
more availability of a copy-editing service associated with the journal
certainly has or will have an important role in this journal’s success, as in
any other journal.
Q: When it comes to the copy editing of their
work, what advice do you have for authors whose native language is a language
other than English, or even for those who are native English speakers?
A: Despite the journal’s policy that requires from
the authors fully edited manuscripts, I frequently found it necessary to
recommend professional copy editing. If the content is decisive for acceptance
of the manuscript, the language style is also important both in the review
process and later for its potential readers.
I'm persuaded to say that authors seem to be
increasingly aware of how important it is to have proper use of the English
language, as some refer that the manuscript has been professionally copy edited
prior to submission.
Many thanks to the Editor-in-Chief of IJEPR, Dr.
Carlos Nunes Silva, for his cooperation and insights
