Description
This first session brings together the Editor and Associate Editors of Papers in Applied Geography for a panel discussion on the journal’s mission, scope, and evolving role in advancing applied geographic research. The panel will highlight the journal’s core subject areas and introduce its innovative publication formats designed to provide rapid, peer-reviewed feedback to authors.

Panelists will share insights on how this process fosters collaboration, strengthens manuscript quality, and expands opportunities for applied geographers to share impactful, practice-oriented research.
This session sets the stage for Part II, which is a round table session that will focus on supporting participants in collaborative environment to explore ideas, ask questions, and take the next steps toward turning your work into a published contribution.
