Submission Preflight (aaag-submission)
The last check before pressing submit on ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Annals is double-anonymous
and caps almost everything against the word limit, so the two most common avoidable failures are an
under-anonymized manuscript and an over-length one. Verify volatile specifics on the official pages
before relying on them (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
When to trigger
"Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
Unsure which files/metadata ScholarOne expects, or which area/type to pick
Confirming the chosen type's cap is met and the manuscript is properly anonymized
Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
Owner / publisher: American Association of Geographers (AAG) / Taylor & Francis (Routledge).
Portal:ScholarOne Manuscripts (via the Taylor & Francis journal page).
Review model:double-anonymous for Articles, Special Issues, Forums, and Commentaries — by
one to three referees, one of which is the editor or a designate. Commentary Responses get
single-anonymous review. Anonymize the manuscript; provide a separate title page.
Areas (four + a cross-track): declare one — Geographic Methods; Human Geography; Nature and
Society; Physical Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences — plus a General Geography /
cross-disciplinary track. A subject editor leads each area (plus a Cartography Editor), all
on four-year terms; your area routes the manuscript. Current area editors (verified 2026-06-22
via AAG announcements): Human Geography — Paul Adams (since Jan 2024); Nature and Society —
Brian King (since Jan 2024); General Geography / cross-discipline — Rachel Franklin (since
Jan 2025); Physical Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences — Michaela Buenemann (since Jan
2025); Geographic Methods — Anthony Howell (since Jan 2026). Re-confirm on the AAG page, as terms rotate.

Geography-specific anonymity trap
Double-anonymous review is harder in geography because the study site can identify the author. A
single-county study by the only group working there, named field stations, or distinctive local data can
de-anonymize as effectively as a name in the header. Mitigations:
Generalize identifying site descriptors where the argument allows ("a mid-sized county in the US
Southeast" rather than naming a tiny home county) — or note the unavoidable in the cover letter.
Cite your own prior fieldwork in that site in the third person; strip acknowledgments to funders/locals.
Remove GPS metadata and identifying coordinates from figures and attached files.
File set for ScholarOne (verify current requirements)
Anonymized main manuscript (no identifiers, clean metadata)
Separate, non-anonymous title page (authors, affiliations, ORCID, acknowledgments)
Figures/maps at required resolution per the Graphics Guidelines
Cover letter (area, contribution, fit); data-availability statement; any supplementary materials
Anti-patterns
Counting only the body and overrunning once captions/notes/tables/refs are added
Leaving author identifiers in text, acknowledgments, study-site detail, or file metadata
Submitting to the wrong area (lands with the wrong editor/reviewers)
Non-Chicago citations; missing or non-italicized keywords
Maps that fail the Graphics Guidelines (projection/legend/resolution)
