"Each Annals issue should,
to a reasonable degree, encompass the breadth and depth of
intellectual activity characteristic of contemporary American
geography and related specialties, including: human,
physical, and regional geography and combinations thereof;
analytical and descriptive methods; qualitative and
quantitative analysis; graphic and visual representation of
geographic phenomena and processes; issues that arise in
the practice of geography; and philosophy and theory. The
audience for the Annals is the entire domestic and
international community of scholars and practitioners in
geography and related specialties. The Annals should
publish the work of all geographers, from the most junior to
the most senior.
Each issue of the new Annals will consist of five sections
devoted to:1) Environmental Sciences; 2) Geomatics and
Visualization; 3) People, Places, and Societies; and 4)
Synthesis and Synergy. A fifth section, with its own editor,
will contain book reviews. Each topical section will have an
editor who will have authority to accept or decline long
articles, shorter papers, reports, technical notes, etc. A
Managing and Production Editor located at the Meridian
Place AAG office in Washington DC will bear primary
responsibility for the logistics of manuscript processing and
book review, copyediting, and assembling and coordinating
the publication of each issue of the journal, in collaboration
with the editors and the journal publisher.
The Annals page size will be enlarged in order to
accommodate higher quality graphics, illustrations, maps,
and photographs. The establishment of a color fund that will
help defray the cost of four-color illustrations is being
explored, as is the possibility of increasing the publication
space in each issue or of publishing six issues per annum.
On occasion, in addition to the regularly scheduled issues, a
special issue of the Annals devoted to a particular topic.
The Association will seek as Annals editors five
accomplished individuals who share the AAG Councilšs
vision of an accessible, decentralized, representative, and
collaborative Annals--individuals committed to intellectual
entrepreneurship that ensures that the very best work being
done in the subfields for which they are responsible appears
in the Annals."
