Prostor: znanstveni časopis za arhitekturu i urbanizam (PROSTOR: A Scholarly Journal of Architecture and Urban Planning)
A scholarly journal of architecture and urban planning, first published in 1993 and now published twice a year by the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Zagreb. It publishes mainly previously unpublished scientific papers on architecture and urbanism, and design projects only when presented in a scientific way, along with reviews and summaries of doctoral and master's theses. It is free to read and uses double-blind peer review.
The scholarly journal PROSTOR publishes primarily scientific papers in the field of architecture and urbanism including papers from other scientific disciplines if they thematically fall within its scope. PROSTOR is a primary scientific journal and accepts only previously unpublished papers which cannot be simultaneously offered in the same form to another publisher. Scientific contributions are subject of evaluation by reviewers, decimal classification and categorisation (original scientific papers, preliminary communications, scientific subject reviews). In accordance with the above, design projects will not be published in PROSTOR, except in cases that display a highly expert or applied scientific solution for a particular issue or problem within a project, unless the content is presented in a scientific manner (a conceptual, technical, technological or methodological problem, but not a project or a building itself). The accompanying sections include evaluations and reviews (of journals, books, conferences) as well as summaries of defended doctoral dissertations and master's theses.
