International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation is calling for Review Papers in all areas of research activity that are related to the fields of geoinformation science and earth observation. As of 2008, the journal will be included in the impact factor ranking by Thomson Scientific.

Reviews represent thoroughly documented and comprehensive peer-reviewed assessments of selected areas of the geoinformation and earth observation research literature for the primary purpose of synthesizing the progress of research and identifying critical research priorities. As such, the reviews we publish will provide an up-to-date distillation of progress and potential within this expanding area of research need. Criteria for acceptability include current importance of the field under review, thoroughness of the literature coverage and brevity and clarity of the text. Fields of interest are broad and include spatial statistical aspects of scale, mining of remote sensing images, data mining for geodatabases, spatial data quality, ontologies in geoinformation sciene, multi-temporal images and monitoring with remote sensing as well as 'image fusion. Novel contributions that cross traditional disciplines are particularly welcome.

We encourage in particular reviews with a strong component from developing countries.

Please send your ideas for possible review submissions to Alfred Stein, Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, and he will be happy to advise you further.
