Journal Article
The Global Reach of a Regional Journal
2024
Overview
The Southeastern Geographer has long been recognized within geography as one of the most respected regional journals. Unfortunately, those outside our discipline tended to view the journal as parochial due to its regional focus. This work presents recent digital readership data for the Southeastern Geographer which shows that 43% of readership is outside our region, and more than 13% of readership is international. The data also indicate that the Southeastern Geographer is widely read outside our discipline as well. Author experience is shared which suggests that the regional nature of the Southeastern Geographer increases reader engagement and papers appearing in the journal are more widely read than more specialized publications. We conclude that the Southeastern Geographer should be considered a model for modern scientific communication and make a case that efforts to marginalize the journal as regional are misplaced.
