Cartography and Geographic Information Science

期刊简介：Cartography and Geographic Information Science (CaGIS) is the official publication of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society. The Society supports research, education, and practices that improve the understanding, creation, analysis, and use of maps and geographic information. The CaGIS journal implements the objectives of the Society by publishing authoritative peer-reviewed articles that report on innovative research in cartography and geographic information science. Cartography is an art and a science; geographic information science has practical implementation as well as theoretical aspects. The journal publishes articles with a design perspective alongside mathematical and social science approaches. Therefore, the choice of methods will vary per article. Articles must build on previous research and demonstrate for instance why a ‘good’ new map is a better map than the established practice, basing the evaluation on some form of user testing. Or, how results of a new algorithm to calculate some property are improved in some quantifiable or conclusive manner. Historical papers are considered if original sources are presented and are not just reminiscences or indirect observations. Other articles may apply mathematical analysis for projections and other spatial properties. The mathematics and analysis must be rigorous and logically presented, with attention to reproducibility. In support of reproducibility for all kinds of work, the journal requires that data and software used in the analysis be deposited in a repository that complies with the Open + FAIR policies of the COPDESS consortium. Of course, the most innovative articles may have no precedent, but then they must fully prove their point with careful scholarship about the nature of the innovation. The field of geographic information science is broad. The Journal focuses on the analytical output of a geographic information system, rather than its source material. Therefore, CaGIS does not encourage studies that report on data acquisitions as the primary focus. By contrast, analysis of the gaps in coverage of any data source or demonstration of a new procedure would fit quite well. The Journal takes care to publish graphics of high quality in print and online and now supports interactive, dynamic, and 3D displays. Our Cartographic Review process examines the design and execution of all illustrations. Innovative design is encouraged, and readable results required. Color illustrations are virtually unlimited and provided at no charge to authors but permissions must be cleared by the author for any third party content reproduced. Please carefully follow the Instructions for Authors before submitting to the Journal. Peer Review Statement Cartography and Geographic Information Science is a subscription-based, international, ranked, peer-reviewed journal which publishes original research contributions to scientific knowledge. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submissions can be made via Scholar One Manuscripts . The journal accepts the following article types: original research, editorials, reviews and essays.

【译文】制图与地理信息科学 (CaGIS) 是制图与地理信息学会的官方出版物。该协会支持旨在提高地图和地理信息的理解、创建、分析和使用的研究、教育和实践。 CaGIS 期刊通过发表权威的同行评审文章来实现协会的目标，这些文章报告了地图学和地理信息科学的创新研究。制图学是一门艺术，也是一门科学；地理信息科学具有实践应用和理论两个方面。该杂志发表的文章具有设计视角以及数学和社会科学方法。因此，每篇文章的方法选择都会有所不同。文章必须建立在以前的研究基础上，并基于某种形式的用户测试进行评估，证明为什么“好”的新地图比既定实践更好。或者，如何以某种可量化或结论性的方式改进计算某些属性的新算法的结果。如果提供原始资料而不仅仅是回忆或间接观察，则可以考虑历史论文。其他文章可能会对投影和其他空间属性应用数学分析。数学和分析必须严谨、逻辑性强，并注意可重复性。为了支持各种工作的可重复性，该期刊要求将分析中使用的数据和软件存放在符合 COPDESS 联盟 Open + FAIR 政策的存储库中。当然，最具创新性的文章可能没有先例，但他们必须通过对创新本质的仔细研究来充分证明自己的观点。地理信息科学的领域非常广泛。该杂志重点关注地理信息系统的分析输出，而不是其源材料。因此，CaGIS 不鼓励以报告数据采集为主要重点的研究。相比之下，对任何数据源覆盖范围差距的分析或新程序的演示都非常适合。该杂志致力于以印刷版和在线版发布高质量的图形，现在支持交互式、动态和 3D 显示。我们的制图审查流程会检查所有插图的设计和执行。鼓励创新设计，并需要可读的结果。彩色插图实际上是无限的，并且免费向作者提供，但复制任何第三方内容必须获得作者的许可。在向期刊提交之前，请仔细遵循作者须知。同行评审声明制图学和地理信息科学是一本基于订阅的、国际排名的同行评审期刊，发表对科学知识的原创研究贡献。所有提交的稿件均须经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为适合进一步考虑，则须接受独立、匿名专家审稿人的同行评审。所有同行评审均采用双重匿名方式，并且可以通过 Scholar One Manuscripts 提交。该期刊接受以下文章类型：原创研究、社论、评论和论文。
