The primary goal of the publishers of Landabréfið
– Journal of the Association of Icelandic Geographers is to support scholarly research and provide a forum for critical debates about matters of geographical nature. The journal publishes
original geographical research as well as other information and news that are of interest to the geographical community. As numerous issues have a geographical dimension, the journal welcomes submission of articles from across the disciplines. All refereed
papers are subjected to peer review according to academic standards. The journal also publishes book reviews, discussions, announcements and news of conferences from the local and international (geographical) community.
