Submission Preflight (aaag-submission)
The last check before pressing submit on ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Annals is double-anonymous
and caps almost everything against the word limit, so the two most common avoidable failures are an
under-anonymized manuscript and an over-length one. Verify volatile specifics on the official pages
before relying on them (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
When to trigger
"Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
Unsure which files/metadata ScholarOne expects, or which area/type to pick
Confirming the chosen type's cap is met and the manuscript is properly anonymized
Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
Owner / publisher: American Association of Geographers (AAG) / Taylor & Francis (Routledge).
Portal:ScholarOne Manuscripts (via the Taylor & Francis journal page).
Review model:double-anonymous for Articles, Special Issues, Forums, and Commentaries — by
one to three referees, one of which is the editor or a designate. Commentary Responses get
single-anonymous review. Anonymize the manuscript; provide a separate title page.
Areas (four + a cross-track): declare one — Geographic Methods; Human Geography; Nature and
Society; Physical Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences — plus a General Geography /
cross-disciplinary track. A subject editor leads each area (plus a Cartography Editor), all
on four-year terms; your area routes the manuscript. Current area editors (verified 2026-06-22
via AAG announcements): Human Geography — Paul Adams (since Jan 2024); Nature and Society —
Brian King (since Jan 2024); General Geography / cross-discipline — Rachel Franklin (since
Jan 2025); Physical Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences — Michaela Buenemann (since Jan
2025); Geographic Methods — Anthony Howell (since Jan 2026). Re-confirm on the AAG page, as terms rotate.
