About the Journal
The “Journal of Geomatics” (JoG) (ISSN:0976–1330) is a peer reviewed journal which covers all aspects of Geomatics – geodata acquisition, pre-processing, processing, analysis and publishing. Broadly this implies inclusion of areas like GIS, GPS, photogrammetry, cartography, remote sensing, surveying, spatial data infrastructure and technology including hardware, software, algorithms and modelling. It endeavours to provide an international forum for rapid publication of developments in the field – both in technology and applications. The first issue was published in April 2007 and since then the journal is published bi-annually (April and October). However, depending on the response and interest, frequency of publication may be increased.
The international Advisory Board comprises of very renowned and experienced international personalities. The Editorial Board comprises experts in the field of Geomatics from India and abroad.
