EJSD, a PoliTO OA journal now in class A in the Italian national journals classification system

The European Journal of Spatial Development (EJSD) is the first Open Access journal published by the Politecnico di Torino. Since 2021 is hosted both on the OJS@PoliTO platform and in the Zenodo one.

Recently the Italian national agency for university and research evaluation (ANVUR) has recognized:

• EJSD as of scientific value for Area 08 (Civil Engineering and Architecture) and of A class (the highest) for sector 08/F1 (Urban and landscape planning and design);
• EJSD as of scientific value for Area 11 (in this case regarding Geography in the wider scientific area of History, philosophy, pedagogy and psycology).

This recognition is a result of the efforts of the Editorial Board (PoliTO, Aalto University, University of Amsterdam, Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Groningen, Slovak University of Technology, UCL-Bartlett School of Planning) and of the managing team (DIST and AreaIT@PoliTO).
