Special issue information

Special Issues

Urban Geography welcomes proposals for Special Issues which provide a critical forum for sets of complementary or contrasting articles addressing emergent and topical issues or questions. Proposals for Special Issues will be considered for their relevance to the journal’s readership, their coherence and synthesis, and their contribution to the field of urban geography. Proposals from a global comparative perspective are keenly encouraged.

Special Issues will consist of four to eight papers of 8,000 to 10,000 words, including a standard-length and substantive Guest Introduction that will also be peer-reviewed. All articles must be formatted to author guidelines. Special Issue collections will go through the same level of rigorous peer-review as general submissions to Urban Geography.

Careful consideration will be made by the Special Issues Editor and the Guest Editor(s) to ensure coherence across the submitted and subsequently accepted papers, especially in the case where all originally proposed manuscripts are not accepted for publication.

Instructions for Contributors

Proposals must be submitted using the  Special Issue Proposal Form. Special Issue Proposals must not be under review at another journal when submitted to Urban Geography.

Urban Geography will receive Special Issue proposals twice annually, on 1 May and 1 November respectively, and be reviewed by the journal's Editorial collective. All submissions will be notified of the outcome of the selection process by

1 June and 1 December respectively

.

Interested contributors are encouraged to contact the Special Issues Editor, Yamini Narayanan (Deakin University) at  [email protected], to discuss their proposals prior to submission.
