Journal of Facilities Management The Journal of Facilities Management is a peer-reviewed academic journal addressing management and operation of buildings, workplace strategy, asset management, and built environment services. It publishes research that intersects with property development, organizational strategy, corporate real estate, and infrastructure planning, aiming to inform practitioners and scholars in facility-related professions.
The journal was established in 2002 during a period of expanding professionalization in facilities-related fields, coinciding with debates in British Property Federation, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Chartered Institute of Building, International Facility Management Association, and Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management. Early editorial networks included contributors affiliated with University of Salford, King's College London, Loughborough University, Heriot-Watt University, and University of Cambridge. Its launch paralleled growth in facility-centric conferences such as EuroFM Conference, International Facility Management Association World Workplace, and symposia linked to CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction). Over successive volumes the journal reflected shifts prompted by events like 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, and policy developments influenced by bodies like European Union directives on energy performance and sustainability initiatives associated with United Nations Environment Programme and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The journal's remit spans strategic facilities management, property lifecycle, workplace transformation, sustainability in buildings, asset management, and service delivery models. It seeks empirical studies, case studies, theoretical contributions, and practice-oriented reviews relevant to stakeholders in Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, U.S. General Services Administration, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and multinational firms such as JLL, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and IFM Investors. The journal encourages research linking facilities to organizational performance observed in studies of British Airways, RBS Group, Siemens, IBM, and Google facilities, and policy intersections with standards from ISO and building certification schemes including BREEAM, LEED, and WELL Building Standard.
Published by Emerald Group Publishing, the journal follows a quarterly schedule and implements double-blind peer review managed by an editorial board comprising academics from institutions such as University of Melbourne, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Delft University of Technology, University College London, and Monash University. Past and present editors have professional ties with associations like International Facility Management Association and accreditation bodies including Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Institute of Building. Production and distribution align with publisher practices employed across titles like Facilities, Journal of Property Investment & Finance, and Property Management.
The journal is indexed and abstracted in major bibliographic databases and discovery services similar to those that include titles from Elsevier, Wiley-Blackwell, and Taylor & Francis. It is discoverable through aggregators and citation indices commonly used by scholars at Scopus, Web of Science, Emerald Insight, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, and institutional repositories maintained by universities such as University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Stanford University, and University of Melbourne.
The journal's influence is reflected in citations across literature addressing workplace strategy, sustainability, and asset performance, cited alongside works in Building Research & Information, Journal of Property Research, International Journal of Strategic Property Management, and policy reports from World Green Building Council, International Labour Organization, and United Nations Development Programme. Researchers from hubs like Singapore Management University, Nanyang Technological University, University of Hong Kong, ETH Zurich, and University of Toronto have both cited and contributed to its outputs. Its impact metrics are considered within institutional evaluations at universities and in rankings produced by organizations such as Times Higher Education and QS World University Rankings.
The journal has published special issues and influential articles on topics including workplace wellbeing and productivity, resilience of built assets, digitization and smart buildings, and life-cycle carbon accounting. These contributions often reference frameworks and case studies involving Apple Inc. campuses, Microsoft offices, Amazon logistics facilities, and public projects managed by entities like National Health Service (England), Transport for London, and U.S. Department of Defense. Special editions have aligned with themes from conferences such as EuroFM Conference and initiatives by International Facility Management Association.
