The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information.

Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences.

The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.

The journal accepts submissions on a wide variety of topics within the field, including:

• Changing methodologies for the delivery of geospatial information
• Research involving historical and contemporary maps and atlases
• The algorithms, tools and software applications used by cartographers, geographers, and map librarians in their manipulation and presentation of geospatial data 
• GIS, geodatabase design, and geospatial data standards (e.g., ISO, OGC, ANZLIC), uses, and potentials
• Working with data produced by private and public entities at the local, state or similar, national and international levels from government agencies, educational and/or research and related institutions
• Patterns and trends in the publication of cartographic materials
• Cartographic knowledge capture and expert systems for solving mapping problems
• Preservation of digital and hard-copy cartographic materials
• Metadata and cataloging issues related to cartographic materials
• Any other topics related to geospatial information in the mapping sciences

Peer Review Policy:  All research articles in Journal of Map & Geography Libraries have undergone a rigorous double-blind peer review, based on initial editor screening, refereeing by a minimum of two anonymous referees, and final review by the editor.
