About the journal
For over 50 years the New Zealand Geographer has been the internationally refereed journal of the New Zealand Geographical Society. The Society represents professional geographers in academic, school, business, government, community and other spheres in New Zealand and the South Pacific. The journal publishes academic papers on aspects of the physical, human and environmental geographies, and landscapes, of its region; commentaries and debates; discussions of educational questions and scholarship of concern to geographers; short interventions and assessments of topical matters of interest to university and high school teachers; and book reviews.
The New Zealand Geographer welcomes contributions in any of these areas, from geographers and those in related disciplines working in, or on, New Zealand, the South Pacific and the wider Australasian region. The editors also welcome papers addressing conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues. The Journal aims to publish papers that serve the interests of its readership, that are accessible to a wide audience and which showcase current geographical work and matters of professional concern in the region.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
The New Zealand Geographer is the ISI listed official journal of the New Zealand Geographical Society, and publishes articles by, or of interest to, geographers, which meet the editorial standards and aims and scope of the journal. The journal includes a Geo-Ed section devoted to articles designed to interest and support classroom practitioners. Educators who are able to contribute to the promotion and development of geography at secondary and tertiary levels are encouraged to submit articles to the Geo-Ed editor.
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the content and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are double-blind peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and carefully considered by the relevant Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editors who reserve the right to refuse any material for publication.
Manuscripts should be written in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. Manuscripts requiring extensive alterations will be returned to the author for revision.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/nzg. Authors must supply an email address as all correspondence will be by email. Two files should be supplied: the covering letter and the manuscript (in Word or rich text format (.rtf)). The covering letter should be uploaded as a file not for review in keeping with the double-blind review process.
Will authors please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Unfortunately, the journal cannot accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents until such time as a stable production version is released. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
• Submissions should be double-spaced.
• All margins should be at least 30 mm.
• All pages should be numbered consecutively in the bottom right-hand corner, beginning with the title page.
• Do not use Enter at the end of lines within a paragraph.
• Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
• Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
• Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for (Greek beta). b
• Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use Enter within cells).
Each figure should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure number incorporated in the file name. For submission, low-resolution figures saved as .jpg or .bmp files should be uploaded, for ease of transmission during the review process. Upon acceptance of the article, high-resolution figures (at least 300 d.p.i.) saved as .eps or .tif files should be uploaded. Digital images supplied only as low-resolution files cannot be used.
Further instructions are available at the submission site.
Covering letter
Papers are accepted for publication in the Journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. This must be stated in the covering letter.
If tables or figures have been reproduced from another source, a letter from the copyright holder (usually the Publisher), stating authorization to reproduce the material, must be attached to the covering letter.
COPYRIGHT
Papers accepted for publication become copyright of the New Zealand Geographical Society and authors will be asked to sign an Exclusive
Licence Form. In signing the form it is assumed that authors have obtained permission to use any copyrighted or previously published material. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in the form, and must sign the form or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. Articles cannot be published until a signed form has been received. Authors can download the form from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/nzg_elf.pdf.
STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Spelling. The Journal uses UK spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Units. All measurements must be given in SI or SI-derived units.
PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT
The length of an article (including references, tables and appendices) should not exceed 6000 words for Research Articles, and 3000 for Geo-Ed articles.
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and key words, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgments, (v) references, (vi) endnotes, (vii) appendices, (viii) figure legends, (ix) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (x) figures. Use concise endnotes rather than footnotes.
Title page
As articles are double-blind reviewed, material that might identify authorship of the paper should be placed on a cover sheet; this will be removed before the paper is sent to referees.
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent, (v) a biographical note about the author(s) of no more than 25 words. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
The title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. Do not use abbreviations in the title. A short running title (less than 40 characters) should also be provided.
Abstract and key words
Research and Geo-Ed articles must have a brief abstract that states in 100 words or fewer the major points made and the principal conclusions reached. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Between three and six key words (for the purposes of indexing) should be supplied below the abstract in alphabetical order.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged. Personal thanks and thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate. Acknowledgements should be typed on a separate page.
References
The Harvard (author, date) system of referencing is used (examples are given below). In the text give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors use 'and': Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use '&': (Smith & Jones 2001). In the reference list, references should be listed in alphabetical order. Journal titles should not be abbreviated.
Do not use ibid. or op cit. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. Smith A, 2000, unpublished data). All citations mentioned in the text, tables or figures must be listed in the reference list.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and should not duplicate, but complement, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive - the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings, graphs and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the column (65 mm), intermediate (97 mm) or the full text width (135 mm).
It is imperative that figures be supplied as high resolution files (at least 300 d.p.i. for photographs and 800 d.p.i. for line figures). Files should be saved as Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) or Tag Image File Format (.tiff.) Digital images supplied only as low-resolution cannot be used.
For more information on digital graphics standards and how to prepare .eps files, see http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp.
Figures will not be printed in colour. It is the author's responsibility to ensure figures will be legible in black and white.
Figure legends. Type figure legends on a separate page. Legends should be concise but comprehensive - the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
PROOFS
It is essential that corresponding authors supply an email address to which correspondence can be emailed while their article is in production. Notification of the URL from where to download a Portable Document Format (PDF) typeset page proof, associated forms and further instructions will be sent by email to the corresponding author. The purpose of the PDF proof is a final check of the layout, and of tables and figures. Alterations other than the essential correction of errors are unacceptable at PDF proof stage. The proof should be checked, and approval to publish the article should be emailed to the Publisher by the date indicated; otherwise, it may be signed off on by the Editor or held over to the next issue.
OFFPRINTS
A free PDF offprint will be supplied to the corresponding author. A minimum of 50 additional offprints will be provided upon request, at the author's expense. These paper offprints may be ordered online. Please visit http://offprint.cosprinters.com/, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields.
If you have queries about offprints please email offprint@cosprinters.com
