Geographical Research

Geographical Research (GEOR) is an internationally-refereed journal that aims to advance innovative and methodologically rigorous work that demonstrates the strength and diversity of all parts of geography.

We publish original articles, editorials, commentaries, book panels, and book reviews, and occasional specialist essays titled 'Antipodean Perspectives'. Short papers from practising (professional) geographers, and in geographical education, are also welcome. See our Overview page for more information.

The journal was founded in 1963 by the Institute of Australian Geographers Incorporated (IAG) and remains a strong and enduring part of the Institute’s public remit for geography in Australia and internationally.
