Znanstveni časopis PROSTOR objavljuje znanstvene članke iz područja arhitekture i urbanizma, ali i radove iz drugih znanstvenih područja sadržajno povezane uz primarnu problematiku. PROSTOR tiska samo neobjavljene članke, koji istodobno i u istom obliku ne mogu biti ponuđeni drugom izdavaču. Znanstvenih prilozi podliježu recenziji, decimalnoj klasifikaciji i kategorizaciji (izvorni znanstveni članci, prethodna priopćenja, pregledni članci). U skladu s navedenim, u PROSTORU se neće objavljivati recentni projekti ni ostvarenja, osim u slučajevima kada je posrijedi visokostručno, odnosno primijenjeno znanstveno rješenje nekoga posebnog pitanja ili problema u sklopu projekta, uz uvjet da je sadržaj prikazan na znanstveni način (koncepcijski, tehnički, tehnološki ili metodološki problem, a ne projekt ili zgrada kao takvih). U pratećim rubrikama publiciraju se recenzije i prikazi (časopisa, knjiga, znanstvenih skupova) te sažeci obranjenih doktorskih disertacija i magistarskih radova.
