The LaborEst scientific journal, published twice a year, was established in 2008 by Edoardo Mollica within the homonymous LaborEst research lab - Economic Evaluations and Real Estate Appraisals Lab. The scope of the journal is to strengthen the vital link between scientific research and territorial needs.

The estimation culture and the economic evaluation of programs, plans and projects are driving disciplines and core topics of the scientific journal.

The LaborEst scientific journal is a place of interdisciplinary discussion on issues affecting Metropolitan Cities, and a room for dialogue among different researchers at national and international levels, sharing experiences on issues concerning the Inner Areas of the less-developed regions, in a perspective of competitive territorial growth and broadly of local development.

 In particular, the published contributions disclaim general issues relating to:

1. Heritage and Identity
2. Local Development: Urban Space, Rural Area, Inner Areas
3. Urban Regeneration, PPP, Smart Cities
4. Mobility, Accessibility, Infrastructure
5. Environment, Energy, Landscape

LaborEst is a biannual open access journal and authors retain their copyrights. No charges apply for submission, processing or publishing in LaborEst.

All proposed papers will be subject to a double-blind peer review process, run by at least two scholars of Italian and foreign universities, where both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process.   

In addition to the ordinary volumes, special issues are occasionally published, in general monographs on specific topics or reports collection of conferences’ proceedings, symposia, seminars, study meetings’ output and other scientific events organized by LaborEst or with its sponsorship.

Since 2015, the journal is also published online as electronic open access journal.
