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.

《网络与空间经济学》（NETS）致力于对人类基础设施所促进的经济活动进行数学和数值研究，广义上包括与信息、电信、互联网、交通、能源存储和传输以及水资源相关的技术。由于基础设施的空间组织通常采用网络形式，因此该期刊鼓励采用网络视角的投稿。然而，非网络连续模型也被认为是一种重要的传统，它为空间经济现象提供了深刻的见解；因此，该期刊同样热情地欢迎基于连续模型的投稿。

该期刊欢迎网络和空间经济学领域的所有高质量工作，包括理论研究、案例研究和算法研究，以及结合这些方面的手稿。尽管该期刊并非专门致力于理论研究，但它是“理论友好型”的。也就是说，即使没有包括案例研究或数值示例，对重要网络和空间经济问题的深思熟虑的理论分析也会被无偏见地考虑。

Networks & Spatial Economics创刊于2001年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖社会科学 - 运筹学与管理科学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 12周，或约稿 ，影响因子指数1.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
