CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
The Counselors of Real Estate seeks high-quality manuscripts
for publication in its peer-reviewed journal, Real Estate Issues.
Real Estate Issues is not an academic-oriented publication,
but a commercial real estate journal written for and by practitioners.
Its focus, therefore, is on practical applications and applied theory.
Contributions from industry experts—CRE members and nonmembers
alike—have given Real Estate Issues a reputation
in the real estate industry for offering substantive, timely content
on key industry issues and trends. The REI Editorial Board accepts
manuscripts throughout the year, and considers original manuscripts
and articles reprinted from CRE-produced publications.
The REI Editorial Board welcomes manuscripts about practical applications
and applied theory related to the broad range of issues encountered
in real estate including but not limited to:
- Dispute resolution
- Fractional ownership of real estate
- Minority interest in real estate
- Brown fields
- Land assembly
- Eminent domain
- Light rail
- BRAC
- Encroachments
- Real estate in the age of terrorism
- Housing bubble
- Tenants in common/1031 exchanges
First-time authors may wish to submit a brief paragraph or outline
about the intended focus/treatment of the topic to ensure the article’s
appropriateness for the journal.

EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS
1. FEATURE ARTICLES
Feature articles explore practical applications and applied theory
addressing the diversified issues encountered in the broad field
of real estate. Submissions should be no longer than 25 double-spaced
pages (about 7,000 words) and no shorter than 10 double-spaced pages
(about 2,800 words). Prospective authors are encouraged to include
charts, graphs and photos, when appropriate, to enhance the article.
CREs and non-CREs may contribute feature articles.
2. PERSPECTIVE COLUMNS
Perspective columns are editorials that provide the author’s
viewpoint about: (1) a particular real estate practice or issue;
(2) a specific counseling assignment; or, (3) a standing or changing
industry practice, theory or methodology. Perspective columns should
be four to nine double-spaced pages in length (about 1,000 to 2,500
words). CREs and non-CREs may contribute Perspective articles.
3. RESOURCE REVIEWS
Resource Reviews are overviews of real estate-related and business-related
books, Web sites, and other resources beneficial to counseling practitioners.
Reviews should be two to five double-spaced pages in length (about
500 to 1,500 words). CREs and non-CREs may contribute Resource Reviews.
4. CASE STUDIES
Case studies are actual counseling assignments that CREs have performed
for clients. These studies should include: commentary on the decisions
made regarding the approach to the problem, investigation and analysis;
commentary as to why the work was needed; appraisal, brokerage, mediation,
and related services; and visuals.
IMPORTANT NOTE: all case study submissions must include confirmation
of the client’s approval to share the details with a wider
audience. Please see attached template for more information.
RIGHTS
Upon publication, The Counselors of Real Estate holds copyright
on all original works, which allows the organization to post articles
on its Web site and authorize use for classrooms and other reprint
requests. The CRE will not refuse any reasonable request from the
author for permission to reproduce his/her contributions to the
journal.
WEB SITE
The CRE will post a PDF file of each article on its Web site after
the issue mails. This practice allows Counselors and site visitors
to access and circulate articles.
MANUSCRIPT/GRAPHICS PREPARATION
Submit manuscripts via e-mail to REI@cre.org.
All information—including abstract, text and notes—should
be double-spaced.
- Manuscripts should follow page and word count noted above. Each
submission should include a 50- to 100-word abstract, which will
appear on the table of contents page if manuscript is accepted,
and a brief biographical statement. Contributors should submit
computer-created charts/tables in separate files—not embedded
in the document containing the text of the article.
- Graphics—including tables, charts, illustrations and other
images—are considered Exhibits, and should be numbered consecutively
and submitted in a form suitable for reproduction. All graphics
should have titles.
- All notes, citations and explanatory, should be numbered consecutively
in the text and placed at the end of the manuscript.
- If appropriate, include high-resolution photographs (printed
images or at least 300 dpi if submitted electronically) to clarify
and enhance the content of the article.
- Article title should contain no more than eight to 10 words,
including an active verb.
- For uniformity and accuracy consistent with The Counselors of
Real Estate editorial policy, refer to The Associated Press Stylebook.
REVIEW AND SELECTION PROCESS
Manuscripts deemed appropriate for publication in Real Estate
Issues are reviewed by three members of the REI Editorial Board:
two board members with expertise in the particular subject matter
area and the editor in chief. All reviews are conducted anonymously;
that is, without identifying the author to reviewers or vice versa.
The editorial board may reject articles, accept articles outright
or accept articles on condition that the author make specific revisions.
Editors make every effort to notify the author of the acceptance
or rejection of a manuscript at the earliest possible date.
Real Estate Issues does not accept manuscripts that directly
and blatantly advertise, publicize or promote the author or author’s
firm or products. This policy is not intended to exclude any mention
of the author, his/her firm or the activities or either; any such
inclusions, however, should be as general as possible, modest in
tone and interesting to a large scope of readers. If a product,
service or company is featured, it should be informational rather
than promotional in nature. Prospective authors also should avoid
potential conflicts of interest between the publication of an article
and its advertising value.
