ISPRS recently made an adjustment to the scope of IJGI. The new scope has officially now been announced on the IJGI webpage: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/about

The scope of the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is geoinformation (science) and its related applications. The major areas that cover the scope of the journal are:

• Spatial data modeling (3D and multi-dimensional modeling, data structures and algorithms, uncertainty modeling, ontologies, etc.);
• Spatial data management (spatial databases, cloud data management, blockchain, etc.);
• Spatial analysis and decision making (geocomputation, geosimulation, spatial statistics, etc.);
• Geospatial artificial intelligence (machine learning, deep learning, big data, data mining, cognition, etc.);
• Cartography (geovisualization, visual analytics, augmented and virtual reality, digital globes, etc.);
• Spatial data infrastructures (data integration, standards, metadata, policies, etc.);
• Geospatial web (semantic web, Internet of Things, sensor networks, web services, cloud computing, interoperability, etc.);
• Citizen science, crowd sourcing and volunteered geographic information (open data, social media, etc.);
• Location-based services and trajectory analysis (mobility, real-time GIS, indoor/outdoor modeling and mapping, etc.);
• Urban informatics, smart cities and communities (urban digital twins, BIM/CIM/AEC, etc.);
• Advanced geospatial applications (climate change, ecology, SDGs, disaster management, One Health, mobility, etc.).

Submissions must fall under one, or several, of the mentioned areas. Papers that are primarily devoted to remote sensing, photogrammetry, GNSS, geodesy, or geosciences/earth sciences (such as geology, lithology, geomorphology, hydrology, climatology, meteorology, etc.), are out of the scope of this journal. Papers on applications in those disciplines might be acceptable but only when they have a strong relation with, and components in, geoinformation science.
