Digital Geography and Society

Digital Geography and Society (DG&S) is an open access journal publishing interdisciplinary work that critically examines the social and spatial contexts of our digital present, past and futures. The primary aim of the journal is to champion work across the social sciences and humanities that questions and reveals how digital technologies shape and are shaped by people and places. Central to that aim is the principal scope of geographies, taken in the broadest terms as the ongoing concern for negotiations of space and place.

As the foremost journal focused on digital geographies, DG&S is dedicated to publishing any and all high-quality research that investigates how the spaces and places of our societies shape and are shaped by digital technologies. There is no assertion or presumption of what constitutes ‘digital geography’ for DG&S, instead we invite critical and generous, ongoing, debate negotiating the geographies of, through and with the digital (following Ash et al.), agnostic of discipline. Our aim, in other words, is to foster and promote a route for advancing digital geographies scholarship and enhance their breadth, depth and diversity.

DG&S is a digital-only journal with an ambition to publish traditional journal articles and a variety of multimedia, video and audio content. We have dedicated sections for full-length research articles as well as opinion pieces, case studies & reviews. Core to our mission is the championing of ‘Early Career’ research in digital geographies and we have a dedicated section promoting ‘New Voices’. As part of our goal to champion digital geographies research we also welcome digitally generated, creative pieces that speak to current issues and experiences across digital geographies. Special issues are an important part of DG&S’s mission to support cutting edge work and will be actively considered for publication in the journal.
