Networks & Spatial Economics

Journal Title：Networks & Spatial Economics

Networks and Spatial Economics (NETS) is devoted to the mathematical and numerical study of economic activities facilitated by human infrastructure, broadly defined to include technologies pertinent to information, telecommunications, the Internet, transportation, energy storage and transmission, and water resources. Because the spatial organization of infrastructure most generally takes the form of networks, the journal encourages submissions that employ a network perspective. However, non-network continuum models are also recognized as an important tradition that has provided great insight into spatial economic phenomena; consequently, the journal welcomes with equal enthusiasm submissions based on continuum models.

The journal welcomes the full spectrum of high quality work in networks and spatial economics including theoretical studies, case studies and algorithmic investigations, as well as manuscripts that combine these aspects. Although not devoted exclusively to theoretical studies, the journal is "theory-friendly". That is, well thought out theoretical analyses of important network and spatial economic problems will be considered without bias even if they do not include case studies or numerical examples.

《網絡與空間經濟學》（NETS）致力于對人類基礎設施所促進的經濟活動進行數學和數值研究，廣義上包括與信息、電信、互聯網、交通、能源存儲和傳輸以及水資源相關的技術。由于基礎設施的空間組織通常采用網絡形式，因此該期刊鼓勵采用網絡視角的投稿。然而，非網絡連續模型也被認為是一種重要的傳統，它為空間經濟現象提供了深刻的見解；因此，該期刊同樣熱情地歡迎基于連續模型的投稿。

該期刊歡迎網絡和空間經濟學領域的所有高質量工作，包括理論研究、案例研究和算法研究，以及結合這些方面的手稿。盡管該期刊并非專門致力于理論研究，但它是“理論友好型”的。也就是說，即使沒有包括案例研究或數值示例，對重要網絡和空間經濟問題的深思熟慮的理論分析也會被無偏見地考慮。

Networks & Spatial Economics創刊于2001年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋社會科學 - 運籌學與管理科學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數1.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
