Research publications
Our publications provide a high-quality outlet for the dissemination of research, and sharing of skills across the breadth of the discipline.
The Society’s publications form a core part of our mission to advance geographical science and its applications to the challenges facing the world’s people, places and environments.
We have a variety of publications: a scholarly journals portfolio, a book series, reports, guides and our impact and engagement blog, Geography Directions. All our publications are research-led and seek to offer insight that has global applications. Our publications are accessed over 1,000,000 times each year by researchers from every continent.
If you would like to contribute to, or comment on any of the Society’s publications, please contact the Managing Editor, Dr Anna Lawrence (journals@rgs.org).
