Aims & Scope

The importance of maps in all aspects of research has received increasing attention.

Global methods of mapping with online maps, along with anima-tions, are changing how maps are used and presented.

A considerable amount of research is being conducted in map presentation through the Internet, both to desktops and mobile devices.

International Journal of Cartography ( IJC) is the official flagship journal of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) which is a much needed research outlet concentrating on the map as a form of communication about the world, and aims to promote research in the fields of cartography and GI Science.

The journal encompasses a wide range of topic including: - spatial modelling, visualization, analysis and planning - theoretical GI Science including geospatial ontologies and semantics - maritime, environmental and urban GIS, remote sensing and photo-grammetry - cognitive-based GIS and cartography: modelling of navigation knowledge and landscape perception in urban spaces and built environments - historical maps - art and cartography - topography IJC is supported by an international advisory board of experts and welcomes innovative, high-quality research articles relevant to maps and geospatial science from multiple disciplines.
