cid:image003.jpg@01CD0C2C.7BF41320 CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios (CITIES, Communities and Territories) Permanent Call for Papers CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios is an academic journal in the scientific area of Urban Studies that was established in 2000 by a team of researchers from the former Centre for Territorial Studies, consolidating a heritage of scientific research and academic work at ISCTE-IUL for over twenty years. CIDADES, now on open access e-journal format <http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs> , pursues the objective of disseminating research and discussion in the scientific area of Urban Studies, seeking to consolidate itself in the academic publishing scene, nationally and internationally, as a reference publication in its field. The orientation of CIDADES is based on the plurality of theoretical perspectives and disciplinary approaches to the analysis of the city, departing from the multidisciplinary scientific area of Urban Studies. CIDADES sheds light on different approaches to urban problems and policies in order to intervene and better comprehend a multitude of transformation processes within cities, communities and territories. As a peer-reviewed journal, it encompasses a double blind peer review process to guarantee strict anonymity, accorded to both authors and referees. In order to ensure the blind peer review process, authors are asked to make sure that all information about their identities is removed from the text. Each article is reviewed by two referees designated by the Editorial Committee for their expertise.
