Revista Brasileira de Estudos Urbanos e Regionais

In 2024, the Revista Brasileira de Estudos Urbanos e Regionais (RBEUR) celebrated 25 years of existence, a milestone characterized by a steadfast commitment to ethics in the peer review process and adherence to rigorous guiding criteria. This anniversary provided an opportunity for both reflection and change.

Starting in 2025, RBEUR will no longer be published based on the grouping of articles into thematic sections.To facilitate specialized searches across both current and past publications - a function previously fulfilled by the sections - a new structure will be implemented, which introduces a mandatory procedure requiring scientific articles to be linked to seven keywords, three of which must be selected by the authors from a predefined list provided by the journal.

This new procedure will, on the one hand, enable authors to assess the alignment of their submissions with RBEUR’s field of focus and, on the other, permit less hierarchical and more interconnected searches, since the same article will appear in searches conducted through different pathways.
