Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, we chart the changing character of Australian geographical research based on trends in publications in the Australian Geographer. Using data starting from the journal’s inception in 1928 until 2018, we document changes in geographical research reflecting broader trends in the evolution of the discipline. We argue that a long-term perspective, harnessing an empirical approach to data produced over a 90-year publication history, enables geographers to better understand the discipline. Accordingly, we track ‘who’ is doing geography and ‘where’ these studies take place. We also ask ‘how’ geography is being done vis-à-vis physical/human and combined studies. Our analysis of the publication history of the Australian Geographer over the last 90 years aims to provoke broader reflection on the progression of geographical research and the discipline’s identity.

地理学的变化:澳大利亚地理学家的地理之旅，1928-2018

摘要在本文中，我们根据《澳大利亚地理学家》的出版物趋势，描绘了澳大利亚地理研究的变化特征。使用从1928年该杂志创刊到2018年的数据，我们记录了地理研究的变化，反映了该学科发展的更广泛趋势。我们认为，从长远来看，利用90年出版史上产生的数据的实证方法，使地理学家能够更好地理解这一学科。因此，我们跟踪“谁”在做地理研究以及这些研究在哪里进行。我们还询问地理是如何与自然/人文和综合研究进行比较的。我们对《澳大利亚地理学家》过去90年出版史的分析旨在引发对地理研究进展和学科身份的更广泛反思。

It is a high standard, refereed general geography journal covering all aspects of the discipline, both human and physical. While papers concerning any aspect of geography are considered for publication, the journal focuses primarily on two areas of research: •Australia and its world region, including developments, issues and policies in Australia, the western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, Asia and Antarctica. •Environmental studies, particularly the biophysical environment and human interaction with it.
