Articles

Metropolitan Universities accepts both unsolicited manuscripts, as well as articles for specific thematic issues.

Manuscripts should be evidence-based, practical and focused on issues of urban and metropolitan universities and their cities. The readers of the journal (primarily executives, administrators, academic leaders and faculty) value articles that identify innovations and strategies that may be replicable in other campus settings. On occasion, the journal will publish a book review, essay or opinion piece, if the manuscript is well supported by relevant literature and evidence, and is on a topic of high importance to urban and metropolitan universities.
