About Smart Cities

Aims

Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511) provides an advanced forum for the dissemination of information on the science and technology of smart cities, publishing reviews, regular research papers (articles) and communications in all areas of research concerning smart cities. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible, with no restriction on the maximum length of the papers so that the full experimental results can be reproduced. Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are particularly welcome.

A further unique feature of this journal is that electronic files and software providing full details of the calculations and experimental procedures, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as Supplementary Materials.
