Progress in Human Geography is the journal of choice for those wanting to know about the state-of-the-art in all areas of human geography research and scholarship.
It is published six times per year in paper format and - in Online First - continuously in electronic format. The six editors of PiHG are supported by an international Editorial Advisory Board.
Concerned primarily with critical reviews of current issues (philosophical, conceptual, theoretical, epistemological, methodological and ontological....), PiHG enables a space for debate around leading issues of formative influence in human geography. As such it is the major journal in the social sciences and humanities dedicated to publishing substantive reviews of research in human geography and cognate disciplines.
Five major strands - Perspectives, Reviews, Opinions, Biographies and Key Publications - shape the agenda setting content of the journal. In combination, these strands make PiHG the most innovative, distinctive and wide-ranging journal of human geography today. They enable it to offer critically informed and diverse accounts of the intellectual traditions and contemporary developments that shape and direct human geographical research and teaching.
PERSPECTIVES involves major reviews of work in human geography and related fields. Papers dealing with relevant issues of concern to their authors are submitted and reviewed in the conventional manner. Additional resources may be published electronically as supplements to published papers.
The highly influential and much-cited Progress Reports are commissioned by the editors to provide critical summaries of work in the sub-disciplines of human geography. PiHG Lectures are delivered to the annual conferences of RGS-IBG and AAG and then published.
REVIEWS includes Book Reviews of recently published work. Book Review Symposia allow extended and multiply authored critiques of significant works with a response from the author.
OPINIONS includes Forums, a space for collective debate on major topical matters in the field, and Viewpoints, invited or submitted commentaries on significant themes.
BIOGRAPHIES celebrates and evaluates the contributions of leading human geographers in its Makers of modern human geography.
GeObits is an electronic supplement which affords space for remembrance of members of the geographical community.
KEY PUBLICATIONS addresses Classics in Human Geography, reflecting on books and other works that have more than stood the test of space and time in shaping the discipline and practice of human geography. Until recently, the journal also highlighted Textbooks That Moved Generations, focussing on key pedagogic publications since the second world war that translated research into teachable ideas and methods of analysis.
