These forty years of publication record a period of great development in the field. Many important, ground-breaking, papers have been published in Environment and Planning. Now the availability of a complete electronic archive offers easy access to the wealth of material that our journals contain.
From 2008 we shall make the most recent 10 years of the back file available free to current subscribers. Access to the deep archive—that is, the archive from the start of the journals to 1997— will be available for purchase either for a one-time fee or as an add-on to a current subscription. Combined , the 10-year back file and the deep archive will give users electronic access to everything published in the Environment and Planning journals since their inception.
Publications available
The archive provides access to all four Environment and Planning titles and to another Pion journal, Perception, from the start of publication up to and including 1997. The period from 1998 to 2008 is covered by a 10-year back file which will be free with a corresponding print subscription.
