The Canadian Geographer storybook


GEONOVICE meets GEOSAGE...
Did you read The Canadian Geographer journal recently?
No! ... I only have a fixed amount of time for entertainment!
Some of the paper titles and the contents read like a child's storybook
Well! It's ranked at the bottom at 54 out of 73 with a low impact factor of 0.56!
Who finances this journal?
I suspect it's Wiley-Blackwell and SSHRC!
Are these funders throwing resources down a rabbit hole?
Well, you decide!
Notes:
The Canadian Geographer - Journal of the CAG society.
SSHRC - Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
Wiley-Blackwell - Academic publisher.

  1. I don't read this journal for the same reasons given above. The quality is extremely variable and it appears you can write about any tree or stone or grass and if it is canadian content it gets published.
