Abstract
The refereed and periodical journals, which form the basis of scientific communication, have different functions such as quality control, archival creation, the promotion of authors, and information distribution. Journals that previously addressed wider audiences and disciplines are becoming increasingly thematic today and are beginning to address a particular area of focus. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the publication policies of academic journals in Turkey which are categorized under the theme of Geography. For this purpose, academic Geography journals published in Turkey have been analyzed using a content analysis method. Also, a bibliometric analysis process has been appled to academics who publish in these journals and use the keywords geography education in their work as revealed byan academic search in Higher Education Institution (referred to as YÖK in Turkish). AJournal Review Form was used to analyze data from the study, which included seven journals. From this form, the aim, scope, index, frequency of publication, type of publication, and temporal change of journals can be determined and the general trends for these journals ascertained. As a result of the research, it is determined that six journals have been published over 20 years, albeit with interruptions, while one journal was in its 9th year of publication.
