RICS Journals
RICS Journals provide sector-specific content tailored to the needs of RICS professionals and candidates.
This includes 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, non-member sector experts, in-house professional practice staff and an editor.
EAGs not only set the direction of each journal, ensuring that RICS delivers topical and instructive articles, but also provide technical reviews of published content.
A full list of EAG members is available at the bottom of each journal's landing page.

Modus acts as RICS' 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 professional networks on social media.
