Area publishes ground breaking geographical research and
scholarship across the field of geography. Whatever your interests,
reading Area is essential to keep up with the latest thinking in
geography. At the cutting edge of the discipline, the journal:
• is the debating forum for the latest geographical research and
ideas
• is an outlet for fresh ideas, from both established and new
scholars
• is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students
and academics at an early stage in their careers
• contains commentaries and debates that focus on topical issues,
new research results, methodological theory and practice and
academic discussion and debate
• provides rapid publication
To be accepted, therefore, an article must make a concise,
significant and original contribution to geographic knowledge. It
should be situated in the relevant literature within and beyond the
discipline, and should make a distinctive contribution to debates
within human or physical geography. Where possible, links should be
made with themes and issues within the wider discipline, with other
relevant disciplines, and with concerns in the world beyond
geography on which the discipline may offer insight, understanding
and critical comment.
Calling all physical
geographers!
Area is very keen to encourage
more submissions of physical geography papers, and especially those
written by postgraduates. The journal prefers short, pithy
articles which focus on topical issues, new research results or
discussions of methodology, theory and practice. We aim for a
rapid turnaround time between submission and publication.
Recently Area has published papers on
desertification, soil erosion, geomorphological ideas and urban
fluvial hazards. If you would like to submit a paper, or even
discuss an idea at an early stage of writing, then please contact
Louise Bracken, Co-Editor for physical geography at l.j.bracken@durham.ac.uk
