About the journal
Transactions is one of the foremost international journals of geographical research. It publishes the very best scholarship from around the world, across the whole range of the discipline. In particular, the distinctive role of the journal is to:
Publish 'landmark' articles that make a major theoretical, conceptual or empirical contribution to the advancement of geography as an academic discipline
Publish formative papers across the whole spectrum of research in geography
Act as the leading record of the intellectual development of the discipline
Stimulate and shape the research agenda in geography
Identify and debate connections between geography and other disciplines

Authors may find it helpful to know that the referees of papers submitted to Transactions are asked to bear in mind two questions above all when making their recommendations:
1. Does the paper demonstrate and develop the intellectual status of geography as an academic discipline?
2. Will it be remembered and referred to by geographers and others working in related fields?
To be accepted, therefore, a paper must make a significant contribution to geographic knowledge and be grounded in the relevant literature. Where possible, links should be made with themes and issues in the wider discipline, and with concerns in the world beyond geography on which the discipline may offer insight, understanding and critical comment.
NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their articles - once accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Typescripts
Five copies plus an IBM-compatible disk of all papers should be submitted to the Assistant Editor. The target length of papers is 8000 words equivalent (5000 words in the case of Commentaries). Typescripts should be double-spaced with wide margins, and at least one copy should be typed on one side of the page only. They should be set out in the manner of recent issues of Transactions and in conformity with the information set out below.
Title page
The title of the paper, name(s), main professional/academic affiliation(s) and full address(es), including email, of the author(s)should appear on a separate title page, as papers are submittedanonymously to referees.
Abstract and key words
An abstract not exceeding 100 words is required. Six key words should follow on a separate line: one for locality, one for topic, one for method and three others.
Headings
Only the first letter and proper names are capitalized. A maximum of three levels may be used:
This is a first-level heading
First-level headings are flush left on a separate line. The first text line following is flush left.
This is a second-level heading
Second-level headings are flush left on a separate line. The first text line following is flush left.
This is a third-level heading Third-level headings are flush left. The text follows on the same line.
Illustrations
These should be of high quality and submitted both as ink-on-paper copy and in a standard electronic format (tiff or eps files) wherever possible. Black-and-white prints of illustrations must be submitted to a standard suitable for reproduction(page size 14 x 19 cm; column width 7 cm). Titles should not be given on the drawings, but figure numbers should be pencilled lightly on the back. After a paper has been accepted, the author must submit the originals of all illustrations. These will not be returned unless specifically requested. Electronic copies of illustrations should be saved on an IBM-compatible disk, with the output resolution set as high as possible. Ensure that heavy lines in line art are saved as pure black, and avoid using uncommon fonts in illustrations.
Captions must be typed on a separate sheet. Figures and photographs are numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals (Figure 4, etc). All are referred to as `Figures'.
Tables must be typed using few horizontal rules and no vertical rules. They are numbered consecutively using Roman numerals (Table IV, etc). Titles should be concise, but as informative as possible. The approximate position of tables and figures in the text should be marked in the typescript.
Equations should be numbered consecutively with bracketed Arabic numerals in the right-hand margin. Authors must provide instructions in the margin for any special typeface required (eg bold, italic, Greek, etc). Careful attention must be paid to sub- and superscript symbols, and upper- and lowercase letters.
Measurements must all be given in SI metric system. In exceptional cases, English equivalents in brackets may be allowed. Numerals should be used in the text for all full units of measurement, but words should be used for quantities of objects, persons, etc and for numbers from one to twelve.
Notes Informational notes must be restricted to the minimum; usually the material can be incorporated into the text.
References Authors must use the Harvard system, in which authors' names (no initials) and dates are given in the main body of the text, with specific pages indicated if required (Linton and Moisley 1960, 29). References are listed alphabetically at the end of the paper under the heading References, and set out as follows:

Exclusive Licence Form (ELF)
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author's Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission, authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). A copy of the form can be downloaded here
Online Early
Transactions is included in Blackwell Publishing's Online Early service. Online Early articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Online Early articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Online Early articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Online Early articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. To receive an e-mail alert once your article has been published, please see this page.
