RERU is an international scientific journal. It publishes regular volumes, special issues composed of papers presented during thematic meetings, after selection by a scientific editor, and invited volumes at the initiative of the members of the Editorial Board, which define the subjects of the papers, suggest authors and take care of the quality of the theoretical frameworks and methods developed in the field.

RERU invites, since its creation in 1978, high quality research in the fields of regional and urban analyses, planning economics, regional development, environment and territorial policies.

RERU explores theoretical and methodological issues, statistical and econometrical contributions, institutional approaches,and publishes articles, research notes and book reviews.

RERU encourages exchanges between those who explore the regional and urban environment : scholars, researchers, national and international administrations, local authorities and practioners.

RERU is supported by CNRS & HCERES and respects the norms of publication suggested by CNRS-Editions.


Papers published in RERU are indexed and abstracted in Journal of Economic Literature (JEL), International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS), JournalSeek, REPEC, IndexCOPERNICUS, EconLit,, Journal Scholar Metrics, EBSCO, Emerging Sources Citation Index (Thomson Reuters)..
