THE DICTIONARY OF HUMAN GEOGRAPHY (5TH EDITION) will be published by Blackwell Publishing in 2007.

This new edition will be edited by Derek Gregory (Managing Editor), Ron Johnston, Geraldine Pratt, Michael Watts and Sarah Whatmore, backed by an international Editorial Advisory Board. It will contain over 1000 entries listed in A-Z format. Each contributor is assigned to one of the Editors as their point of contact.

This website is a central resource for managing this project. It includes information on designing and writing dictionary articles, style guides and sample entries. This page also provides a link to the interactive “submission site”. Authors can use this site to submit their entries for review by the Editors. All users of this system are able to view the dictionary headwords (this feature is especially useful for constructing the “cross reference” list at the end of your entry). Authors will have access to their own full essays but only editors will have access to all full essays. Please review the Submitting your Entry page for further information on the editorial process, and specific instructions on uploading the various versions of your work.

Given the importance of this site to the project, please familiarize yourself with its workings.

If you have any questions about this site or the project in general, please see the contacts page for the appropriate e-mail address.
