The Journal of Real Estate Literature (JREL) is a publication of the American Real Estate Society (ARES). It is different from most academic journals in that it is composed of several sub-sections with different purposes. While these have changed over time, the current format of the journal contains the following sub-sections: (1) Review Articles, which provide an overall understanding of what has been done in the past on a particular area within real estate, and what should be done in the future; (2) International Articles, which share research from under-developed markets and in regions of the world where ARES sister societies do not exist and service with their own journals; (3) Data, Methods, and Technology, which promotes real estate research through sharing with authors where to find data to help carry out their studies; demonstrates how to conduct methodologies that are commonly enough used to be relevant to a wide readership, but not so common that the methodology need not be explained; and shares the latest in technological breakthroughs to keep readers up-to-date; and (4) Book Reviews, provided in the final section. JREL articles have historically been heavily cited and are a great way to increase your visibility in the field.
