GI_Forum

Aims & Scope

“GI_Forum” publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience).

The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety.

Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain. “GI_Forum” implements the policy of open access publication (CC-BY-ND-License) after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of established scientists for quality assurance.

Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions.
