Journal of Maps

The Journal of Maps is a peer-reviewed, inter-disciplinary, online journal that aims to provide a forum for researchers to publish maps and spatial diagrams.
Journal of Maps accepts original articles and publishes a section specifically for research students (Student Section), which aims to support students in furthering their research careers. As maps are often one of the first outputs of research, the Student Section offers a "first publishing opportunity", thereby providing students with an environment in which they can learn from their experiences.
In its broadest sense, the Journal of Maps ( JoM ) is concerned with social and physical processes that take place on a geographical scale. Topics could include, for example, footfall in retail marketing, the spread of bird flu or location of geological faults, the common theme being the use of maps or spatial diagrams to advance understanding. Maps submitted MUST make a substantial contribution to knowledge in the field that is likely to be of broad interest to readers of the journal. Above all, to be published in the JoM is to demonstrate a unique line of enquiry which has required the use of maps or spatial diagrams, to have collected new data or added significant value to existing data and to present and communicate the findings adhering to high cartographic standards.
