About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Geoforum Perspektiv is a peer-reviewed journal published by Geoforum Danmark.

The journal is indexed in DOAJ (Dictionary of Open Access Journal), please see: https://doaj.org/toc/2245-8433

The aim of the Journal is to enhance the ongoing research within the field of spatial information.

The journal is published with three publications per year. One publication is a theme publication focusing on an editorial topic (please see: announcements), one publication contains articles from Geoforum's annual conference, Kortdage, and one publication is a collection of articles that did not find their way into the other two publications.

The editorial board consists of members from all Danish universities.

The journal operates with two types of papers:

1) Peer-reviewed papers, which are subject to peer review (double blind peer review)

2) Other papers, e.g. debate posts, reviews, guides and others.

Peer Review Process

The peer review process is a double blind review. Scientific papers submitted to Geoforum Perspektiv are reviewed by two reviewers chosen by the editor, with advice from the editorial board, on the basis of their recognized knowledge in the field addressed by the paper. Thus it is often necessary to receive both reviews before an objective decision is made on publication.

The Journal requires authors not to submit their works to other publishers for review while the article proceeds through the Geoforum Perpektiv review process.
