Start SubmissionCities People Places journal is the official journal associated with the ‘Cities People & Places’ (ICCPP) Annual Conference being organized by the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Two ICCPP conferences were held in Colombo in 2013 and 2014 and these have established the event as a credible academic endeavor that can bring together academics and practitioners in the fields of urban design, architecture and allied arts. By generating a mass and diversity of knowledge on urban spaces, people and places in cities, the conference is contributing to a greater understanding of cities and urban settlement systems in the modern world. This publication consolidates the development of this knowledge to be made available to a wider spectrum of academics and practitioners.
The aims of the journal are to:
Introduction
All manuscripts must be in English, also the table and figure texts. All manuscripts must be submitted formatted as per this template except identifications immediately after the title: Leave appropriate space there. CPP journal cannot undertake formatting for you.
CPP is a peer reviewed journal. Therefore the first submitted copy must remove all identifications. However, the filename must contain the first name of the first author or the one who submits and corresponds. Filenames must be formed as follows. First submission: ‘CPP-firstname-sub.doc’. The paper will then be sent to two referees, and their reviews will be compiled into one and sent to you. Revise your paper accordingly and re-submit within the given time with a separate document outlining how the revision responded to the reviewers comments. The filename must be changed to ‘CPP-firstname-rev1.doc’. If further revisions are requested, change ‘rev1’ to ‘rev2’ etc. Do not create new filenames and do not use new documents every time. If a second revision is required, do the revisions on the one that was once revised, which will be sent back to you with specific instructions.
Copyright
The author is legally responsible for complying with the copyright laws and the laws of privacy and libel. If an author uses any work by another person in any way, good scholarly and publishing practice requires that proper credit is given, citing the source of the work borrowed. When works have more than one source, each must be cited. A photograph, an image, or a table must be accompanied by a credit line naming the owner. In an image, both the photographer as well as the owner of the subject of the image must be cited. A text quoted in translation must credit the author, the translator, and usually also the publisher of the translation.
One’s own work, if it has been previously published elsewhere, must also be credited. If this cited text is extensive, it must be mentioned in either in a footnote or endnote.
Giving credit for all borrowings does not relieve an author from the need to obtain permissions. The author is legally required to obtain permission to reproduce, photograph, translate, or paraphrase any work or part of a work that is protected by copyright.
CPP journal cannot be held responsible for any shortcomings of non adherence to these. CPP does not generally ask the authors to transfer their copyrights to the publisher, unless it is so required.
Organization of the Text
Use italic for emphasizing a word or phrase or when local names are mentioned. Do not use abbreviations without first introducing it in long form. Do not use boldface typing or capital letters except for section headings (cf. remarks on section headings, below).
Section Headings. The section headings are in boldface capital and lowercase letters. Second level headings are typed as part of the succeeding paragraph (like the subsection heading of this paragraph).
Page Numbers. Do not number your paper:
Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title should be placed above each table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV].
Special Signs. for example , α γ μ Ω () ≥ ± ● Γ {110} should always be written in with the fonts Times New Roman or Arial, especially also in the figures and tables.
Macros. Do not use any macros for the figures and tables
Language. All text, figures and tables must be in English.
Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1: Fig. 2: ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and placed below the figure. Generally, only original drawings or scanned images / reproductions are acceptable. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Please make sure that the figures as graphic images are compressed to document size. CPP is an e journal and cannot carry large images with high resolutions. Always use color images.
Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented 5 mm (0.2"). There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text. Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number, e.g.
c2 = a2 + b2 (1)
Literature References
References are cited in the text using Harvard System of references. The references should be listed in the alphabetical order using the second name first.
Summary
If you follow the “checklist” your paper will conform to the requirements of the publisher and facilitate a problem-free publication process.
