Writing and reviewing for the Journal of Geography in Higher Education

Hosted in collaboration with the Geography and Education Research Group (GeogEd), this session is designed to encourage and enable new academics/postgraduates who have undertaken pedagogic research to publish and disseminate their work to the rest of the geographic community.

After discussing the mission of the Journal of Geography in Higher Education (JGHE), panellists will explain the submission, review, and publication processes of the JGHE.

Topics will include the nature of material appropriate for submission, the types and level of evidence necessary to support findings, the recommended length of manuscripts, advice about writing for an international readership, and JGHE’s citation index.

In this practical workshop, prospective authors will interact with panellists through an interactive paper review session and discuss issues specific to manuscripts they are planning or writing. Practical guidance and advice will be provided to potential authors. The detailed discussion will be responsive to the needs and interests of the participants.
