Aim and scope
Forum geografic aims to publish high quality research in the domains of geography, as well as geosciences and social sciences that mainly use, but are not limited to geographic approaches (human, physical, nature and society as well as GIScience). Although initially the journal published research from and about Europe, it gradually extended its reach and currently, it welcomes research papers from all over the world on a range of issues such as geomorphology, pedology, climatology, hydrology, tourism, population geography, human settlements and environment protection.

Since the journal runs exclusively on the volunteer efforts of the members of the Geography Department from the University of Craiova and fellow peers worldwide, the understanding, patience as well as proper work ethic of the current and prospective authors is highly appreciated.
