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.

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).
