The Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research (NJSR) is an international scholarly journal published by the Finnish Society of Built Environment Research (RYTS). It publishes peer-reviewed research in English on how land, property and the built environment are surveyed, planned, used and managed. Articles are freely available online without a subscription.
What does the journal cover?
The journal covers topics such as land registers and land management, spatial information, urban and regional planning, and the economics and management of real estate and construction. The first issue of 2026, for example, includes research on keeping land administration working during a crisis, widening access to collaborative housing, and how providers develop flexible office space.
NJSR brings together research of interest to academics and practitioners. The journal particularly welcomes work with practical implications for areas such as planning, real estate decisions and public administration. Research articles undergo double-anonymous peer review, in which authors and reviewers do not know one another’s identities.
