Housing Studies
From 1 April 2019, the world’s leading academic housing journal, Housing Studies, published by Taylor and Francis, moved it’s editorial home to Sheffield Hallam University.
The journal is an international peer reviewed journal of the highest repute, with an international management board and advisory board. Now well into its fourth decade, it has a high, and rising, impact factor, and is growing the number of submissions it receives each year.
Stabling the journal at CRESR is testament to the leading international profile the centre, and SHU, enjoys in the field of housing studies and its allied disciplines.
The journal’s editorial team is made up of 12 members of staff from Universities across the world with Sheffield Hallam’s Director of CRESR Ed Ferrari, being one of the two Managing Editors.
