Abstract

This editorial marks the first anniversary of the launch of Geography Compass at the Annual Meetings of the Association of American Geographers in San Francisco in April 2007. A year on, we have 104 articles published, 64 received and in-process and the section editors are now commissioning the next round of contributions. The first editorial meeting was actually held at the Association of American Geographers meetings in Boston in 2006 and the initial work planning the journal took place in late 2005, so a great deal of work has already gone into making Geography Compass a reality. Geography Compass is part of a suite of journals being developed by Wiley-Blackwell. The first, History Compass was launched in 2003 and today there are a total of eight Compass journals and it is possible to use the Geography Compass site to search across all the journals. Recently, we have published our first two cross-Compass theme issues that bring together articles across the range of the journals dealing with a particular issue, the first was on Race and Racism and the second on Violence and Conflict.
