The Berkeley Planning Journal is a nationally distributed publication for planning research, theory, and practice. It was established in 1983 to promote the work of the Berkeley planning community and now has over 250 institutional and individual subscribers throughout the world. The journal solicits original research articles and other features from students, faculty, alumni, and visitors associated with IURD, as well as other campuses of the UC system and beyond.
Articles go through a careful blind review process.
The editors work closely with reviewers to give authors constructive guidance along with critical evaluations of their work. Working on the journal, graduate students learn the skills involved in scholarly publishing. The journal provides a concrete incentive for students and faculty to transform promising papers into polished articles for publication. Volume 14 was published this year. Founded by a group of faculty at the University of California at Berkeley in 1982, BRIE quickly became one of the leading intellectual voices debating government policy and business strategy in America.
