Additional Information
Geographical Research
Geographical Research, formerly Australian Geographical Studies, is the internationally refereed journal of the Institute of Australian Geographers, the national body representing academic and professional geographers in Australia. The primary objective of Geographical Research is to advance geographical research across the discipline and especially to encourage research at the human-physical geography interface. The journal also supports the Institute’s Study Groups in Cultural Geography; Economic Geography; Environmental Sustainability; GIScience, Spatial Analysis and Modelling; Indigenous Issues; Political Geography; Rural Studies and Urban geography. The journal includes academic papers, research reports, and book reviews. Short papers from practising (professional) geographers, and geographers in education, are particularly welcome.
Geographical Research is published quarterly by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Institute of Australian Geographers, through Editors appointed by the Council of the Institute.

Update on Geographical Research: The Journal of the Institute of Australian Geographers
1. Issue 48 (1) of our journal is now available electronically. This is the first issue under the supervision of the journal’s new editorial team: Phil O’Neill (UWS), Brian Finlayson (Melb), Clive Foster (Flinders) and Wayne Stephenson (Otago); although much of the issue was prepared by the guest editors Bob Stimson (UQ), Tony Sorenson (UNE) and Roy Jones (Curtin).
2. Be aware that articles accepted for Geographical Research are now published on-line in Early View, available through your library’s electronic subscription. This service enables the downloading and circulation of articles very shortly after they are received in final form, without having to wait until the actual print edition. Early View is a highly valuable platform for the timely promotion of your new work to colleagues as well as for providing early student and research access to the latest material.
3. Also, please be aware that all submissions to Geographical Research are now managed through ScholarOne Manuscripts. This move is an important step in advancing the efficiency and quality of manuscript refereeing, processing and publishing. Instructions for use of ScholarOne Manuscripts and for other author guidelines are available at the journal’s homepage: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/geor
Please forward any inquiries and feedback concerning our journal – esp. concerning the use of ScholarOne Manuscripts – to me at p.oneill@uws.edu.au

Early View
Geographical Research will now be available electronically, online, in ‘Early View’ (previously termed ‘Online Early’ but changed following the merger of Blackwell Synergy into Wiley InterScience).
Early View papers are produced individually or in small batches. Papers are dealt with in the usual way: submitted to editors, refereed, returned to authors for revision, revised papers are copy-edited by the editors and returned to authors for approval, often with further queries, and then forwarded to the publisher once authors and editors are satisfied. Proofs will be sent from the publisher to authors and the relevant editor as they are prepared individually or in small batches, and the editor will incorporate all the changes into the proof and send the corrections back to the publisher. Authors are asked to note that only errors may be corrected at the proof stage: this is not the time to rewrite the paper. Once the paper is finalised it is published online, and at that point the article is considered fully published and no further changes can be made. When it is time to collate the issue, papers will be paginated and published in print and in the issue table of contents online. If there is an error in a paper published in Early View it would need to be corrected with an erratum, just as if it had been published in a hard copy issue.
There are two main benefits for authors. First, most papers will be published more quickly than at present. There will no longer be a lag between final acceptance and copy-editing, and publication; whereas at present this lag may extend over several months.
Second, authors’ papers receive two exposures: once when the article is placed in Early View, and second when it appears in the printed version. Early View papers are cited by their digital object identifier (doi) number: at that stage they will not have volume, issue or page numbers. In all other respects they are full publications.

Roy Jones, Arthur Conacher and George Curry retired as Editors at the end of 2009. To mark the end of nine years as Editors they have compiled a report on changes to the journal over these years that will be of interest to many readers. The report can be read by clicking here.
