California Geography

California Geography is the refereed annual publication of the California Geographical Society. We seek high quality manuscripts from Geographers and associated disciplines about all facets of the geography of the Golden State. Exemplary contributions from student members and student-faculty collaborations are encouraged. 

Submission Guidelines

MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts may be submitted for review via email attachment. Manuscripts must conform to the guidelines published in recent issues of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers. (The Annals follows "Documentation Two" of the Chicago Manual of Style.) Pay special attention to formatting of references and citations, and use endnotes sparingly and only to explicate the text. Provide an abstract of 150 words or fewer. Place tables/charts within the body of the manuscript, but provide graphics separately as described below.

GRAPHICS
All graphics-maps, photographs, drawings, graphs-must be clearly readable in black and white and cited within the text (as figures). For proper formatting of figure citations and captions follow Annals examples. For final submission, graphics must be in one of two digital formats: EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) for most illustrations, or TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format) for raster images. Resolution should be 300 dpi or better. Provide each graphic as a separate document, and in addition provide a list of captions.

TABLES
Follow examples in the Annals for proper formatting. Place tables in appropriate location in the manuscript, not at the end.

DISCLAIMER
In your cover letter, provide a statement that your manuscript has not been published elsewhere, is not under review elsewhere, and will not be submitted to another publication while under consideration by The California Geography. Articles that have been previously published or are being considered for publication elsewhere cannot be considered.

PEER REVIEW
Manuscripts are subject to anonymous peer review, a process that takes approximately four to six weeks.

SUBMISSION
Please send email attachments of the manuscript (MS Word) and figures (JPEG or TIFF) directly to the editor.
