Journals
The LATTS Reviews section presents two scientific journals associated with the laboratory: Flux, which focuses on technical networks, their regulation and their relationship to territories, and Networks – Communication – Technology – Society, which explores communication and information processes from a multidisciplinary perspective. These journals publish specialised articles and reports that place LATTS's work in the context of broader scientific debates.
Flux Magazine
Flux focuses particularly on how networks are designed, regulated and operated, as well as their relationship with the territories they serve. As such, Flux is one of the few French-language academic publications covering the discipline of spatial planning. The articles published in Flux highlight specific characteristics common to networks: studies of the long-term development of infrastructure and associated services, international comparisons, methods for analysing network functionality, formalisation of concepts specific to the regulation of network companies, etc. The journal therefore accepts articles focusing not only on physical networks but also on the ‘networking’ of organisations and institutions.
Geographers, urban planners, sociologists, economists, political scientists and historians are called upon to provide a better understanding of the contemporary changes taking place in our territories and societies.
Flux offers scientific articles, research notes and survey reports, interviews, columns and bibliographical references (reading notes, noteworthy publications, journal reviews). Special reports provide an overview of scientific work carried out on the most relevant topics of the moment.
The journal has been available on the PERSEE and CAIRN electronic platforms since 2001.

Réseaux Journal
The journal Réseaux – Communication – Technologie – Société covers the entire field of communication, with a particular focus on telecommunications, mass media and information technology. Television has been the subject of a significant number of issues. As reflection on communication is at the root of many debates in the social sciences, some issues are also devoted to theoretical or methodological questions.
Although primarily focused on sociology, Réseaux aims to address issues of communication and information in a multidisciplinary manner and welcomes contributions from historians, philosophers and economists. Each issue, devoted to a specific theme, provides an opportunity for dialogue between researchers from different teams, both French and foreign. In addition to the dossier, the journal publishes independent articles. It also offers readers reference texts by foreign authors and book reviews.
The journal Réseaux is owned by Comue Université Paris-Est. It has been available on the PERSEE electronic platform since 1983 and on CAIRN since 2006.
