Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace.

Cartography and Geographic Information Science
Cartographica: The International Journal for Geographic Information and Geovisualization Cartographica is an international, interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal which publishes transformative research, education, and practice contributions to the social, political, technological, and historical aspects of Cartography. In addition, the journal is the official publication of the Canadian Cartographic Association. Cartographica provides a forum for the exchange of original perspectives and innovative findings in the production, design, use, cognitive understanding, and novel applications of maps in arts, cartography, computer science, economy, engineering, geography, history, medicine, health, and surveying.
Cartographic Perspectives

Remote Sensing of Environment Remote Sensing of Environment serves the remote sensing community with the publication of results on theory, science, applications and technology of remote sensing of Earth resources and environment. The emphasis of the journal is on biophysical and quantitative approaches to remote sensing at local to global scales.
Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment The journal 'Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment' (RSASE) focuses on remote sensing studies that address specific topics with an emphasis on environmental and societal issues - regional / local studies with global significance.

International Journal of Geographical Information Science
Published research covers innovations in GIScience and novel applications of GIScience in natural resources, social systems and the built environment, as well as relevant developments in computer science, cartography, surveying, geography and engineering in both developed and developing countries.
