The Geographical Journal is a journal of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) and has been published since 1831. The journal has the highest circulation of any British academic journal in its field and publishes original research papers and review articles across geography. Prior to 2000 the journal was used as the report of the RGS with the Society's news published alongside articles, however, since 2000 the journal has focused on research relating to the environment and development and no longer contains Society news but still publishes the RGS's AGM and the Presidential address. The journals impact factor is 0.882 and was ranked 22 out of 38 in the ISI Journal Citation Reports Ranking for geography in 2005.
