Research on Geographic Information System

Capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data, these are what Geographic Information System (GIS) is designed to do. The term, Geographic Information System, is known first to be used by Roger Tomlinson in 1968 in his paper "A Geographic Information System for Regional Planning".

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Geographic Information System. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Spatial data infrastructure
• Relating information from different sources
• GIS techniques and technology
• GIS uncertainties
• GIS data mining
• Data representation
• Data capture
• Data output and cartography
• Raster-to-vector translation
• Spatial analysis with GIS
• Web mapping

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Research on Geographic Information System” should be selected during your submission.
