Ethics
Human Geographies, as stated, is fully committed to peer-reviewed article publication as a result of its core editorial mission. The very focus of this mission is to consider the peer reviewing process of any work as the essential laying brick of building an advanced developed network of knowledge through coherence and progress. Human Geographies considers peer reviewing as a direct reflection of the quality of work of the author and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles are therefore both an embodiment and an expression of the scientific method and approach. As a result, it is, therefore, important for Human Geographies to shed agreement upon standards of expected ethical behavior for its valued contributors.
