Where do I submit a Building Research and Information manuscript?

Through the journal's own submission system. The address is in the Submission row of the Structure at a Glance table on this page. SciSpace does not submit for you.

Can I submit to Building Research and Information and another journal at the same time?

No. Journals, Building Research and Information included, expect a manuscript to be under review at one journal at a time. Wait for the decision or withdraw formally before you submit elsewhere.

What should my data availability statement say for Building Research and Information?

Say where readers can find the data behind your results: a repository with a DOI, supplementary files, or the reason the data cannot be shared. Check the Building Research and Information author guide for any required wording.

How do I know my paper fits Building Research and Information?

Read the Building Research and Information aims and scope and skim two or three recent articles. If your question, methods, and audience match what the journal publishes, you are in the right place.

What belongs in supplementary material?

Large datasets, extended tables, extra figures, code, and detailed protocols. Reference each file in the main text, and keep the core Building Research and Information manuscript readable without them.

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 28 September, 2026

Use this Building Research and Information template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it.

What is the Building Research and Information Template?

It is the writing shell for Building Research and Information: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list.

What's actually in a Building Research and Information submission:

A Building Research and Information submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, a structured abstract of up to 200 words, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list in APA 7th edition style, and figures and tables.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

An abstract that breaks the rule (a structured abstract of up to 200 words).
References that are not in APA 7th edition style.
The wrong number or kind of keywords (Up to 6 keywords).
Author names or affiliations left in a file meant for double-anonymized review.
A missing declaration: ethics approval, competing interests, funding, or data availability.

Open the journal's current author guide before you upload.

What does this Building Research and Information Template include?

Building Research and Information Reference Style with Examples

Reference managers format Building Research and Information citations with APA Style 7th edition, with author and year in the text and an alphabetical reference list. Zotero and Mendeley list it as "Building Research & Information" in the open Citation Style Language database.

In-text citation: (Smith & Patel, 2021) for a two-author article, (Garcia, 2019) for a single-author book.

Reference list entries:

Journal article: Smith, J. A., & Patel, R. (2021). Seasonal variation in soil microbial activity. Journal of Field Studies, 12(3), 145–159.
Book: Garcia, L. (2019). Methods in Applied Research (2nd ed.). Academic Press.

These examples show the pattern, not real sources. If the author guide gives a different rule for DOIs or for how many authors to list before et al., follow the guide.

Quick Tips for Using the Building Research and Information Template

Set Zotero or Mendeley to the "Building Research & Information" style before you add the first citation.
Write the abstract last and count it. Building Research and Information asks for a structured abstract of up to 200 words.
Remove author names, affiliations, and self-identifying acknowledgements from the main file for double-anonymized review.
Choose keywords to the rule: Up to 6 keywords.
Keep declarations with the manuscript, not in a separate note you might forget to upload.

Best Practices

Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent Building Research and Information paper for depth, headings, and figure style.

Before You Submit: Final Check

The abstract meets the rule (a structured abstract of up to 200 words).
Every reference is in APA 7th edition style, and every in-text citation has a matching entry.
The keywords follow the stated count.
The main file is anonymized.
Declarations are included: ethics, competing interests, funding, and data availability.
Figures are publication-ready and cited in order.

Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
