Journals provide sector-specific content tailored to the needs of RICS professionals and candidates. The journals provide technical updates, best practice and guidance for professionals in the built and natural environments, supporting them in their work.
Journals' editorial advisory groups (EAGs) are made up of RICS members, other professionals, in-house technical staff and an Editor. Together they set the direction of the journal, ensuring that we are commissioning topical and instructive articles as well as providing a technical review for all published content.
Modus acts as our global ambassador inspiring and informing professionals from the start of their careers to retirement. New content is published weekly and can be easily shared with your professional network on social media.
Our content is commissioned and edited by a dedicated journals team.
