The Geographical Journal is a journal of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) and has been published since 1831. Its original title was Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London. The journal publishes original research papers and review articles across geography, and has the highest circulation of any British academic journal in its field. Prior to 2000 the journal was used as the report of the RGS with the Society's news published alongside articles. Since 2000, however, the journal has focused on research relating to the environment and development and no longer contains Society news, although it still publishes the RGS's AGM and the Presidential address. The journal's 2009 impact factor is 1.226, ranking it 29 out of 62 in the ISI Journal Citation Reports ranking for geography.
