The MGR is a peer-reviewed international journal that has been published in English continuously since 1993 by the Institute of Geonics, through its Department of Environmental Geography. As a general purpose geographical journal, MGR receives and evaluates articles contributed by both human and physical geographers, as well as by other researchers who specialize in related disciplines, including the social sciences (environmental studies, regional and urban planning, urban studies, etc.), geosciences and geo-ecology. The MGR aims to publish rigorous and impactful research on topics responding to the role of ‘regions’ and ‘localities’ in a globalized society, given the geographic scale at which they are evaluated. The journal has a distinct regional orientation, broadly for countries in Europe. Submissions dealing with regions outside of Europe are not accepted, except for invited contributions to thematic Special Issues.

The MGR has been indexed in the Scopus database since 1993. In 2012, the MGR was selected for coverage in the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters/Clarivate Analytics) products and customs information services. Beginning with Volume 19 (2011), this publication is indexed and abstracted in the Social Science Citation Index, Current Contents Connect, Journal Citation Reports / Social Science Edition.

The MGR is an open-access journal, publishing electronic articles in the platinum open-access mode (i.e., no fees for readers and no article processing charges or publication fees for authors). MGR is published four times per year - at the end of every third month of the year. Beginning with Volume 21 (2013), the electronic contents are published also on the De Gruyter / Sciendo publishing company website. Starting with Volume 28 (2020), the journal will be published only in electronic form.
