I find the following statement in the lead paragraph -- "They are described as 'interdisciplinary', though they have a highly spatial focus, meaning that they are of most interest to human geographers." -- rather astounding. Though they share a common name, these are four, rather different journals, of great interest to a broad variety of fields, not only nor necessarily even primarily, to human geographers. I might be wrong, but I would be surprised if this statement is valid across the board for all four of the Environmental Planning journals. If anything, on the face of it, it would seem these journals "are of most interest to planners", but I would guess that even that is not the case. Evidence? Sources?

- That's indeed a weird statement; Obviously, this article needs a lot of work... As an aside, many journals tout themselves as "interdisciplinary", as if this is some kind of honorific. Truth is, of course, that much science nowadays is interdisciplinary, so this is not something special and usually not even worth mentioning in my eyes (for example, combining environmental sciences with urban planning obviously is interdisciplinary). In any case, I think you should be bold and rewrite the lead. Given the differences between the four journals, a split into 4 articles would perhaps also be conceivable. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:52, 25 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
