Abstract
International journals offer the most important method for scientists to circulate their scientific achievement worldwide. It is important for geographers in Japan to publish papers in international journals for the future of Geography in Japan, particularly in SCI/SSCI journals with high impact factors. More geographers in Japan need to obtain skills to write papers in English and get them accepted for publication in such journals. It is also desirable to have an international journal in Geography managed and edited by a Japanese academic society and listed in SCI/SSCI.
