RICS publishes four digital journals: Built Environment, Construction, Land and Property. The articles in these offer practical, technical and best practice updates for members and APC candidates.
Many of these articles are written by, or include material from, members themselves. We welcome suggestions for topics as well as potential writers.
Each journal is overseen by an Editorial Advisory Group (EAG) comprising RICS members and an in-house editor. The group draws up an editorial programme and gives all articles a technical review, while the editor works directly with authors to ensure they are supported through the writing process, as well as editing any submitted drafts.
If you want to be involved, please contact us by expressing your interest.
Please also attach supporting information to help illustrate your background and area of expertise.
