Abstract:
The aim of this article is to research the extent to which 'international
journals' of human geography are really international. The analysis is based
on the affiliation data (work centre) of the authors of articles and of
members of editorial boards of a group of international journals; the
results so
obtained are related to the impact factors of these journals. The indicators
used show that human geography journals in general have still not
attained a high degree of internationalization. This may be interpreted as a
sign of fragmentation within the discipline: human geographers do not
constitute a proper international scientific community or, rather, a global
community that makes use of certain common media of expression
(international journals) but are fragmented into national or regional
(linguistic) communities.
