The journal\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/2021\/07\/27\/economic-geography-ranks-second-in-global-scientific-citation-impact-report\/\">impact factor score<\/a> \u2014 which indicates how often its articles are cited over a two-year window \u2014&nbsp;was ranked as high as 14.9 (in 2022) during Murphy\u2019s tenure, making it one of the most influential journals in two distinct fields \u2014 geography and economics. The journal currently ranks fourth out of 173 journals in the field of geography, and 11<sup>th<\/sup> out of 617 journals in the field of economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019ve been most proud about is not necessarily the impact score but that scholars have gotten the message that we expect more from their papers because, in our field of economic geography, it\u2019s <em>the

editor-in-chief would come from the Graduate School of Geography, which he founded in 1921.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abiding by this mandate as the journal celebrates its centennial, Murphy has turned over the reins to the 11th editor-in-chief, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/faculty\/profiles\/siobhan-mcgrath\/\">Siobh\u00e1n McGrath<\/a>, an associate professor of geography who studies labor and

Geography, Murphy provided a retrospective on <em>Economic Geography<\/em>\u2019s first century, part of three panel sessions on the journal\u2019s past, present, and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, the field of economic geography focused primarily on \u201cthe description and interpretation of lands in terms of their usefulness to industry,\u201d as one scholar put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To launch the journal, Atwood gained the support of Charles Thurber, head of Ginn Publishing and the first alumnus to serve on Clark\u2019s board of trustees, and hired managing editor Walter Elmer Ekblaw, who would eventually obtain a Ph.D. in geography from Clark. \u201cHe did all the work,\u201d Murphy says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atwood, a champion of geographical literacy and education, was the author of geography textbooks that were widely circulated to schoolchildren throughout the U.S. He saw economic geography scholarship and teaching as a way to build cooperation among nations in the post-World War I era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe days of dueling have passed, and we trust that the days of wars will soon have passed,\u201d Atwood wrote, then scratched out, in a draft of his journal manifesto, \u201cfor both of these old-fashioned methods formerly used in solving differences between individuals or between nations are now known to accomplish relatively little

the journal\u2019s first issue in March 1925, he stated: \u201cAs we move forward to a more intensive and effective utilization of the world\u2019s resources, we must have a broader and more accurate knowledge of their extent and distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atwood\u2019s statement underscored \u201cwhat most of 20<sup>th<\/sup>-century economic geography was about,\u201d according to Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulk of the first volume\u2019s articles focused on agriculture; the rest addressed trade, transportation, power, urban areas, minerals, forestry, and fisheries. Thirteen of the 36 articles explored issues in the United States vs. the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a congratulatory letter to Atwood, National Geographic Society President Gilbert Grosvenor deemed an article on \u201cThe Potential Supply of Wheat\u201d to be \u201ca remarkable and original contribution to knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journal also drew letters of praise from captains of American industry, including Robert S. Brookings, the St. Louis businessman who launched the research institute still bearing his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the 1920s to 1940s, articles continued to focus on agriculture and industry, including \u201cLand Values in the Blue Grass and Nashville Basins\u201d (1930), \u201cCity Retail Structure\u201d (1937), \u201cThe Spanish Moss Industry of Louisiana\u201d (1943), and \u201cLocational Factors Affecting Industrial Plants\u201d (1948).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Economic Geography cover, April 1937\" class=\"wp-image-24965\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937-768x1079.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937-1093x1536.jpg 1093w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Economic-Geography-journal-1937.jpg 1172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Economic Geography<\/em> cover, April 1937<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And in what was unusual for a woman at the time, U.S. Department of Commerce cartographer Helen M.

The journal included more guest editorials focused on urban and area studies, public policy, and issues like poverty, while other scholars argued for adopting a quantitative approach that relied on statistical models to analyze economic activities and their distributions \u2014 used widely in the field of economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1970 to 1991, editor-in-chief Gerald \u201cJerry\u201d Karaska \u201cbelieved that the future of economic geography lay more in the use of modern statistical techniques,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cAlmost overnight, starting in 1970, the journal published one mathematical paper after another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karaska also introduced special issues, which, by the 1970s, included a range of articles, from those applying the qualitative analysis of Marxist and feminist political geography, to one piece using quantitative research to examine regional modeling of trade fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1992, the journal\u2019s book review editor, Richard Peet, and Susan Hanson became co-editors, selecting articles that applied new lenses \u2014 radical geography and feminist analysis \u2014 through which to examine issues of gender, environment, and industrial change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey turned almost every issue into a special issue,\u201d according to University of California Professor Eric Sheppard, who serves on the journal\u2019s editorial board, in recounting the Hanson-Peet era running through 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018An accurate representation of where the field is currently and where it\u2019s going\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning in 1997, when his first <em>Economic Geography<\/em> article, \u201cBusiness Networks and Transnational Corporations: A Study of Hong Kong Firms in the ASEAN Region\u201d was published, Henry Wai-Chung Yeung began encouraging his colleagues in the field to pay attention to Asia and the rest of the world.
