Depends on the research you're trying to publish; more information would help!  Although, I'd probably use whatever journals you've been doing the research for your papers on to start.

'Hard' architectural research (stuff that produces new knowledge in the traditional academic sense) runs the gamut from actual physical science to social science to history.

Plus, I think architects being 'published' often involves some kind of article about a building or other project they designed in a magazine or other periodical. 

Finally, architects seem to write manifestos on occasion, which I think are mostly published orally through repeated and intense arguing and commentary (or blogs, although you'll find the occasional book).

As a aside, it's pretty cool to be in a profession that's broad enough to have so many different 'ways' to new knowledge.

For starters:

• Journal of Architectural Education
• Journal of Architectural and Planning Research
• Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

do you mean 'scientific' or 'scholarly' journals? the scientific ones tend to require statistically valid quantitative research, while scholarly journal cover the range of humanities, arts, engineering, and even some scientific disciplines that deal with qualitative research methodology that don't easily fit statistical methods.

I have a list of several dozen journals that explore various aspects of the built environment, from urbanism and landscape architecture, down to building simulations, and accept a mix of quantitative and qualitative scholarship. I'm happy to share this list with folks if you drop me a note.

Which ones to target a manuscript for all depends on your research topic as there are usually several journals that will be likely venues. For the paper that I'm currently working on, most of my sources are from the Journal of Ecological Economics, but I'm not interested in submitting there as I'm not an economist (even if this is a simple way to choose a journal). Each journal has differing manuscript specs and lengths, so depending on the complexity of your topic, a more generalist or more specialized journal may be appropriate.

Another factor to consider is the journal impact factor if you need to wrack up points for tenure (depending on your school). not all journals are ranked, but it's interesting to see where the articles that get cited the most are published. Some are double-blind, single-blind or open publications. note that the 'open' publications often require you pay a fee to get published, and others have fees for color graphics.

I'm also a huge fan of Zotero.org for keeping track of my citations and articles (it's an open-source plug in for firefox)

that is kool barry.

it depends too on whether you need the article to be peer reviewed.

personally i keep separate the articles i write for journals and the ones written about me and my office, but put them all on the cv.  it looks more impressive that way. 

that said the peer reviewed journals count for lots when it comes time to get funding and such, so the more you can get published that is peer reviewed the better...

good luck.

oh, my list identifies 89 journals...

Thank you all !!!! they were good information and advices !!!!!!

hi barry ... 

is it possible share the name of journals you mentioned here plz ?
