Irish Geography

Aims & Scope

Irish Geography is the leading peer-reviewed international journal on the geography of Ireland and has been published since 1944.

An early editorial decision was to concentrate on the geography of Ireland and this has been maintained ever since.

More recently, to reflect the changing context and increased importance of globalization and migration to Ireland, an editorial decision was made to extend the scope of the journal to include contributions on the Irish diaspora and overseas networks.

In addition to research articles, the journal publishes shorter commentaries, topical reviews, theoretical discussions and book reviews.

We encourage contributions within the scope of the journal from those working in a range of disciplines, encourage work by early career researchers and consider comparative papers with a significant Irish component.
