Environment and Planning F
Environment and Planning F: Philosophy, Theory, Models, Methods and Practice seeks to plug a gap in current publishing in Geography. It aims to attract agenda-setting papers that break new ground by forging connections between cutting-edge research in all areas of the subject. It is a whole-of-discipline journal that makes a virtue of Geography’s considerable diversity and vitality. Its papers, however specialised, will speak to the widest possible readership of researchers in Geography and also cognate fields like Planning, Sociology, Environmental Management and Environmental Science. Contributions will use comparative analysis, critique, creative thinking, counter-factual reasoning and other mechanisms to achieve ‘value added’ in key cross-cutting areas, notably the philosophical underpinnings of research; the definition and uses of theory; the employment of various models; of various research methods and methodologies; and the link of research to practical impacts of various kinds (for instance, via public policy).
The journal exists to create new pathways that allow novel and productive patterns of thinking to emerge across and between Geography many sub-disciplinary communities. This will generate new ideas and modes of working across divisions in the discipline and leverage Geography’s potential to respond to the complex challenges and opportunities of our time in original and innovative ways. EPF aspires to be a ‘weaving’ journal rather than simply a place where human, environmental geographers can publish with limited cognisance of each other’s work.
The journal publishes research papers, commentaries on these papers and periodic ‘perspective’ articles that are more speculative or reflective. It also publishes book review forums.
