Faculty of Architecture Research Unit (FARU)

Overview

FARU Journal is a bi-annual, double-blind review journal since 2021. The journal was initiated in 2009 as part of the FARU Annual Conference bearing ISSN 2012-6301.

The aim of the FARU Journal is to provide a platform to discourse theoretical or empirical studies through discussions, debate across disciplines under the main theme ‘Dimensions of Space’. The FARU publications discuss fundamental and applied research on ‘space’ and different dimensions of it within the discipline of Built Environment, Town and Country Planning, Building Economics, Design and Facilities Management.

FARU interprets ‘space’ as ‘research space’ that support wide range original research on methodological and technical approaches including experimental, observational, monitoring and management studies and, policy analysis related to the environmental performance of the built environment ranging from cities, communities, buildings, building systems, building science, urban physics, and human interaction.

FARU Journal was revamp in 2020, published with only the high ranked papers among those selected for the FARU Conference thereafter in 2021 and it was published with an eISSN 2806-5182 to increase geographical reach of authorship and readership.

FARU Journal Submission Guidelines

FARU journal papers should be submitted using Sri Lanka Journals Online (sljol) portal using the link given below.

FARU Review Process

The full peer review process consists of three stages, through which manuscripts may progress:

1. Stage One – Initial Screening of New Submissions

Manuscripts are initially screened based on the following key factors:

  • Scope: Appropriateness for publication in FARU.
  • Originality: Uniqueness and novelty of the manuscript material.
  • Clarity: Clarity in presenting research and findings.
  • Completeness: Accuracy and completeness of data interpretation.
  • Relevance: Significance of the manuscript to the mentioned disciplines and their fields of study. Manuscripts exhibiting exceptional quality proceed to the next stage.
  • Format: Adherence to the formatting and referencing guidelines


The manuscripts that fails the stage 1 initiate screening will either be declined or returned to authors.

2. Stage Two – Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening undergo blind peer review by two independent reviewers. The Editorial Board considers comments from the peer reviewers and makes decisions such as:

  • Accept
  • Minor Revision
  • Major Revision
  • Decline


Authors are informed of the decision at this stage and are expected to submit a revised version addressing the reviewer comments.
Additionally, authors should submit a table outlining the responses to the reviewer comments.
The revised manuscript will be re-reviewed until all the reviewer comments are satisfactorily addressed by the authors and the paper gets accepted by the reviewers.

3. Stage Three – Plagarism Check

The accepted manuscripts will undergo a similarity check and necessary actions will be taken to ensure the plagirism policy is adhered before the paper is considered for the publication. Then, the manuscript will be promptly published on FARU Journal.

This information is visually represented on the website and can be accessed via the provided link.

This structured approach ensures transparency and fairness in the review process while maintaining the quality and integrity of FARU publications.

Readership and Publication

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit research papers that focus within the scope of FARU publications. The author guidelines for the FARU Conference and the FARU Journal are the same.

FARU Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Faculty of Architecture Research Unit (FARU) publications is committed to publishing and widely disseminating high-quality content. It is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical, behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: The author, the journal editor, the peer reviewers, and the publisher. Our expectations are that all involved have a shared understanding and acceptance on FARU publication ethics and malpractice. Our ethic statements are based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors available at https://publicationethics.org/ or https://publicationethics.org/files/editable-bean/COPE_Core_Practices_0.pdf

Duties of the Editor in Chief

The editor in chief’s responsibility is to determine which submission to the journal will be published. The editor in chief must ensure that decisions are made on the basis of the manuscript’s merit and that the author’s race, gender, religious or political beliefs, ethnicity, or citizenship are not considered.

Confidentiality

The editor in chief and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Reviewers will not use unpublished information disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research purpose without the author’s explicit written consent. Reviewers must recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest.

Duties of Reviewers

- Purpose of Peer review

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the quality of the submission.

- Promptness

A potential reviewer should withdraw from the review process if unqualified to assess the contribution or cannot provide an assessment in a timely manner as defined by the editor.

- Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Information concerning the manuscripts should not be discussed with others without the approval of the editor.

- Standards of Objectivities

Reviewers should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers’ comments should be clearly expressed and supported by data or arguments.

- Acknowledgement of sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor in chief’s attention any substantial similarities or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

- Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Unpublished information disclosed in a submitted manuscript should not be used by the editorial committee members without the prior approval of the author’s explicit written consent. reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the manuscript.

Duties of Authors

- Reporting standards

Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

- Data access and retention

Authors could be asked to provide the raw data of their study together with the paper for editorial review and should be prepared to make the data publicly available if practicable. In any event, authors should ensure accessibility of such data to other competent professionals for a reasonable time after publications (preferably via an institutional data repository or other data center).

- Authorship of the paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contribution should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspect of the research, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

- Originality, Plagiarism, and acknowledgement of sources

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works and will appropriately cite or quote the work and/or words of others. Publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work should also be cited.

- Multiple, Redundant, or Con current Publication

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Manuscripts which have been published as copyrighted material elsewhere cannot be submitted. In addition, manuscripts under review by one journal should not be submitted to other publications while the manuscript is under review.

- Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

The authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Readers should be informed about who has funded research and on the role of the funders in the research.

- Fundamental errors in published work

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or to provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
