The scientific journal "CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios" (CCT), published by DINÂMIA'CET-IUL, Centre for Socioeconomic and Territorial Studies, has recently been accepted to integrate the SCOPUS database.

SCOPUS, owned by Elsevier, is the world's largest database of abstracts and citations of publications with peer review. From 2019 the CCT will integrate the list of SCOPUS titles dedicated to social sciences in Portugal, which by the end of 2018 totalized 39 publications.

CCT is a scientific journal whose orientation is based on the plurality of theoretical perspectives and disciplinary approaches on Urban Studies. CITIES seeks to deepen knowledge about problems, policies and processes of transformation of cities, communities and territories.

This indexation of the CCT by SCOPUS testifies to its quality. The directors of CCT, currently headed by Maria Assunção Gato and Ana Rita Cruz, thank all the authors, reviewers, editorial team and other collaborators who have participated in the activities of this journal and contributed to this result.
