The journal Cuadernos de Geografíade la Universitat de València is one of the oldest journals of our discipline in Spain. Throughout more than 100 volumes, its pages have witnessed the transformations of the territory and its landscapes, as well as the societies that inhabit them and the activities they perform. Many people -professionals and passionate about Geography- have shared their rubric with the readers of Cuadernos. Their contributions reflect the evolution of the discipline, its perspectives and objects of interest, the increasingly sophisticated research methods and attest to the contribution that, from our universities and research centers, we can make to achieve a better future. With the aim of maximizing this impact, the preferential treatment that the magazine has given to the Valencian reality has been supplemented, during the last years, with a broader perspective thanks to contributions that deal with other territories of the Spanish and world geography.

In 2018, Cuadernos de Geografía inaugurated a Second Epoch with the fundamental objective of adapting the magazine to the new challenges of Geography and its communication in a more globalized and digital world. The fundamental axes of this stage are the wide distribution of the journal with an open license and digital format; the accreditation of compliance with quality standards required for both content and peer review processes; and the positioning of the publication in databases and indices of international prestige. The periodicity of the journal is biannual (two issues per year).

The range of topics addressed will be broad, but always restricted within the geographical discipline and its more related areas. Diversification will continue to be promoted in the origin of the works and study areas, with special attention to the Mediterranean basin and the dynamics of its bordering countries. According to this approach, original articles and reviews will be published in Catalan, Spanish, English and French.

The opinions expressed in papers and reviews published in Cuadernos de Geografía are the exclusive responsibility of the authors. The acceptance of works for publication is governed by the system of external evaluators.

The publication of papers in Cuadernos de Geografía de la Universitat de València has no cost for the authors.
