The primary aim of Dialogues in Human Geography is to stimulate open and critical debate on the philosophical, methodological and pedagogic foundations of geographic thought and praxis. It publishes articles, with commentaries and responses, which seek to critique present thinking and praxis and to set the agenda for future avenues of geographic thought, empirical research and pedagogy. Dialogues is theoretical in orientation, forward looking, and seeks to publish original and innovative work that pushes the boundaries of geographical theory, praxis and pedagogy through a unique (in Geography) and innovative format of open peer commentary. This format strongly encourages engaged dialogue. The scope of the journal is both the broad agenda of human geography as a whole (and in relation to the social sciences, humanities and environmental sciences more generally) and specific ideas, debates and modes of praxis within disciplinary sub-fields. It therefore has relevance and utility to those interested in all aspects of the discipline.
1. Article types
Dialogues in Human Geography publishes original research and commentary articles on all aspects of Human Geography. Every article published will form the heart of a forum. In addition there will be a further engagements section and book review forums.
1. Forums
The forums will be the primary sections of the journal. Each issue will contain two forums, each divided into three parts: the primary article (max. 12,000 words), followed by up to six open reviews (max. 2000 words each) and a short reply to the reviews by the author(s) of the primary article (max. 2000 words).
2. Further engagements
This section will publish commentaries by readers of the journal in response to forums published in previous issues (max. 2000 words per commentary). Again the authors of the primary article will be given the opportunity to respond (max. 2000 words).
3. Book forum
This section will concentrate on one (or two) selected research monograph(s) per issue, with up to six reviewers critiquing the work (max. 1500 words), followed by a response from the book’s author (max. 1500 words). The book to be reviewed will be selected by the Book Review Editor in negotiation with the other editors, and will be chosen on the basis of its scholarship and argument.
2. Editorial policies
2.1 Peer review policy
Dialogues in Human Geography operates a two stage review process.
Stage 1: Double-blind peer review. Every paper is subject to a standard, double-blind refereeing process wherein the reviewer’s name is withheld from the author and the author’s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least three referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within 4–6 weeks of submission. Submissions may go through multiple rounds of blind review prior to acceptance.
Stage 2: Open peer commentary. Once the paper is formally accepted by the editors, it will then be sent to a number (e.g. 4–8) of commentators who will write responses for publication alongside the accepted paper. Commentators may or may not have been in the original group of reviewers. Published comments will be reviewed by an editor, and in most cases are not subject to peer review. The author will be invited to respond to these comments.
2.2 Authorship
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.
2.3 Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
2.3.1 Writing Assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communciations company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance”).
It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.
2.4 Declaration of conflicting interests
Dialogues in Human Geography encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway
