Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues with a focus on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Contributions may address any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies. Works based on other regions are also welcomed if they can demonstrate a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Priority is given to contributions which move beyond the profiling of specific geographical sites to promote a wider theoretical and conceptual understanding.
The journal publishes four categories of contributions:
- Research Articles: Advance theoretical or/and methodological debates through original research on Asia and the Pacific Rim with a geographical perspective in the broadest sense. Should be no longer than 8,000 words.
- Critical Perspectives: Reflect critically and constructively on the current state of understanding of longstanding or/and emerging issues of significance of the human or/and physical geographies of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Should be no longer than 8,000 words.
- Asian Geography in Brief: Report on the latest findings from the field on the diverse human and physical geographies of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Should be no longer than 4,000 words.
- Book Reviews: Evaluate recent publications addressing key geographical issues in Asia and the Pacific Rim. Should be no longer than 1,500 words.
The above word limit is inclusive of abstract, references, endnotes, tables and figures. Each figure taking up half of an A4 page is normally considered equivalent to 250 words.
