Agathon - International Journal of Architecture, Art and Design

Aims & Scope

AGATHÓN is an Open Access International Scientific Journal of Architecture, Art and Design (indexed by SCOPUS), a half-year tool for information and critical training; it aims to contribute to the growth and dissemination of knowledge in the themes covered by Urban Planning, Architecture, Engineering, Art and (product and visual) Design.

Therefore, the Journal represents a scientific place where Authors who have carried out original research can find an opportunity to spread their contributions.

Each issue of the Journal includes essays and research works on a specific theme, unpublished works and not submitted for publication with other publishers.

Through its internal Board, the Journal promotes and monitors the double-blind peer review process to select articles, providing a mandatory form for reporting.

The contributions are published in English and Italian to be placed in the widest range of the international scientific communities.

The founding principles of the Journal are originality/innovation, the relevance of the investigated topic for the advancement of knowledge, the knowledge and ability to use literature, methodological rigour, the content clarity and presentation style, the impact on the scientific community, but also the easy accessibility and the wide diffusion of the articles; furthermore, the Journal is open to speculative empirical and descriptive research, about phenomena that present new characters, at least for certain important features.
