美國地理學家協會的年鑒于1911年首次出版。它被公認為該協會地理領域主要研究文章的主要期刊。論文要被接受，必須堅持高水平的學術水平，對地理知識做出重要貢獻。它還應以它所代表的專業化的相關文獻為基礎，并在適當的情況下，與更廣泛學科內的主題建立關系。內容可包括受邀論文、評論文章、總統致辭和紀念詞。

The Annals of the American Association of Geographers was first published in 1911. It is recognized as the Association's premier journal for major research articles for all fields of geography. To be accepted, a paper must adhere to a high standard of scholarship and make an important contribution to geographic knowledge. It should also be grounded in the relevant literature of the specialization it represents and, where appropriate, establish relationships to themes within the broader discipline. Contents may include invited essays, review articles, Presidential Addresses, and memorials.
