摘要
This paper (originally published in The North West Geographer, 1997, 1(1), 2-17)) contributes to the debate on journals in geography and the production of geographical knowledge by considering a hitherto neglected issue-the role of regional journals of geography. Initially, an overview is provided which considers issues such as the status of the regional journal within the discipline and its fortune relative to the changing concerns of geography in the late 20th Century. A case study of The Manchester Geographer then critically appraises this particular journal's contribution to geographical knowledge. Finally, and in conclusion, some suggestions are offered which it is believed would ensure that regional journals perform a useful and unique role in the production of geographical knowledge in the 21st Century.
