Landscapes is published twice a year, on occasion as special single-themed issues, and is fully peer-reviewed with a distinguished editorial board. Although rooted mainly in the humanities and social sciences, the journal welcomes articles from the widest range of disciplines in both Humanities and all the Sciences, including archaeologists, ecologists, geographers, sociologists, cultural and environmental historians, literature specialists and artists. Most of all, it aims to be both scholarly and accessible to readers from any background. Landscapes was founded in 2000 as a journal of landscape history and archaeology and it retains a core interest in the development of past landscapes whilst also being concerned with their continued appearance in present-day landscapes. Its scope is broad: prehistoric, medieval, post-medieval, modern and contemporary aspects of landscape all figure in its pages, and there are no geographical limits. Landscape studies have flourished internationally in recent decades, and Landscapes has developed into a broadly interdisciplinary journal concerned with the integrated study of historic landscapes and how they continue to be tangible, legible and relevant in today’s changing world.
