Bosman 2009 - THE CHANGING POSITION OF SOCIETY JOURNALS IN GEOGRAPHY

JEROEN BOSMAN Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie – 2009, Vol. 100, No. 1, pp. 20–32.


From abstract:
"This paper shows how these journals perform in terms of numbers of citations, internationalisation of authorship and exposure in libraries, databases and on the web, compared to some key journals from commercial publishers. It discusses choices made by these journals and the threats and opportunities they are confronted with. The paper concludes that although the conditions for non-UK and non-US society journals in geography have become less favourable, there are viable routes forward."

The paper is about the importance of language, location, library access, and database indexing on impact factors.
