The essential journal for Norwegian geographical research: encompasses physical and human geography. Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift–Norwegian Journal of Geography, published since 1926, is a continuation of Norsk Geografisk Aarbog (1889–1921) and is associated with the Norwegian Geographical Society.
The journal reflects the many facets of geography and tries to take an all-round geographical view, both regionally and thematically, and includes both physical and human geographical material. The journal aims at presenting geographical research directed towards problems and areas of interest to Norwegian researchers.
Themes related to the geography of Norway, the Nordic countries and adjacent regions, including polar environments, are of special interest. Relevant topics dealing with other parts of the world are also included.
In addition, research notes, short articles, including some of special interest for teachers of geography, reviews of Norwegian doctoral theses in geography, and other book reviews are published in a separate section of the journal.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
This journal is relevant for human and physical geographers with an interest in research undertaken at Norwegian universities and research institutions. It also includes research within the broad field of geography on topics of relevance for the Norwegian geographical community (including short articles on school geography).

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
