Progress in Human Geography
Progress in Human Geography is the peer-review journal of choice for those wanting to know about the state of the art in all areas of research in the field of human geography - philosophical, theoretical, thematic, methodological or empirical. Concerned primarily with critical reviews of current research, PiHG enables a space for debate about questions, concepts and findings of formative influence in human geography.
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.
The journal is largely comprised of blind-reviewed review articles, along with so-called Progress Reports. The highly influential and much-cited Progress Reports are commissioned by the editors to provide critical, annual summaries of work in the sub-disciplines of human geography. Regular articles are around 8K long, progress reports around 4K.

From time to time PiHG publishes book review symposia that allow extended and multiply authored critiques of significant works with a response from the author. The journal sometimes publishes book review essays.

Finally, we occasionally publish retrospective commentaries about classic publications in human geography, focussing 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.

The journal no longer publishes 'Viewpoints', 'Forums', regular book review, retrospectives on ‘Textbooks That Moved Generations’ or published versions of the PiHG annual lectures.
Progress in Human Geography is available to browse online.

Progress in Human Geography is the peer-review journal of choice for those wanting to know about the state of the art in all areas of human geography research - philosophical, theoretical, thematic, methodological or empirical. Concerned primarily with critical reviews of current research, PHG enables a space for debate about questions, concepts and findings of formative influence in human geography.
It is published six times per year in paper format and - in Online First - continuously in electronic format. The six editors of PHG are supported by an international Editorial Advisory Board.
Five major strands - Perspectives, Reviews, Opinions, Biographies and Key Publications - shape the agenda setting content of the journal. In combination, these strands make PHG 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.
