Annals of the American Association of Geographers

Aims & Scope

The Annals of the American Association of Geographers was first published in 1911.

It is recognized as the Association's premier journal for major research articles for all fields of geography.

To be accepted, a paper must adhere to a high standard of scholarship and make an important contribution to geographic knowledge.

It should also be grounded in the relevant literature of the specialization it represents and, where appropriate, establish relationships to themes within the broader discipline.

Contents may include invited essays, review articles, Presidential Addresses, and memorials.
