Testimonials

“The Journal of Property Investment & Finance has for many years been essential reading for all those keen to understand the trends and changes impacting property as an investment asset. It is rare for a journal to so successfully combine theoretical perspectives with an emphasis on relevance and practical application”.
Paul McNamara, PRUPIM, UK.
"The Journal of Engineering Design and Technology is arguably one of the finest up and coming peer reviewed international research journals available to construction and engineering academics and practitioners. The depth and breadth of content is superb and reflects well upon a discipline that has reached maturity in recent years. Editorial is another attractive attribute of JEDT - both in terms of the actual 'physical' quality of published scientific papers on one hand and the absolute professionalism with which the peer review process is handled. This exemplary team effort ensures that authors are dealt with in a fair and timely manner. It is a great pleasure and honour to be associated with this journal."
Dr David John Edwards, Loughborough University, UK.
