The ICA Commissions on Visual Analytics, Cognitive Issues in Geographic Visualization, and User Experience (UX) invite paper submissions for a special focus issue of the International Journal of Cartography. The theme for this special issue centers on the State of the Art & Science in Cartography, with the aim of synthesizing literature in emerging areas of Cartography and especially at its intersections with other domains. This is a special issue focusing on literature reviews, i.e., we are not targeting empirical research results. Papers submitted for this special issue should focus on reviewing and synthesizing recent literature in an area of cartographic research and geospatial sciences. Submissions should emphasize the state of the art in a given thematic area, and culminate by identifying key themes, challenges, or opportunities, and critical reviews are welcome. We will accommodate both systematic and narrative reviews. We do not target original research results, unless they are in support of demonstrating claims made in the review.
Examples of topic areas may intersect with:
We are also open to proposals that relate to cartography but are not listed above.
Please send expressions of interest including a brief abstract to frame your paper proposal to our team of guest editors (details below). We will collect submissions through 2021 and first half of 2022. Earlier submissions will be processed and published online as they come in. The submissions will be subject to rigorous double-blind review and accepted papers will appear in the ICA’s official journal International Journal of Cartography, which is indexed in Scopus.
