Aims and scope
Information Geography is a refereed, international journal aimed to serve as the focal point for the studies of information geography and environment to advance the understanding of human-land relationships and promote sustainable development. Information Geography concentrates on the studies of information space and information elements, and the connections and mechanisms among physical, human, and information space.
Information Geography aims to publish cross-cutting and high-quality original research from a broad range of Geography, Environment, Sustainability, and Computer and Geosciences, and welcomes the submissions that advance geo-technological innovation, or utilize the geo-techniques and modelling methods to study various phenomena in physical, human, and information space. Topics, include but are not limited to, the following:
Climate change
Earth surface system
Environmental science
Environmental and ecological technology
Geographic and environmental applications
Geographic big data
Geographic modelling and simulation
Geoscience science
GIS and remote sensing
Informatic environment, resources, and disasters
Natural resource management
Regional information geography
Sustainable development goals
Social-ecological-technical systems
Time geography
Where science
Urban science
Special attention will be given to interdisciplinary research across physical, human and information systems and frontier researches that address today’s most pressing issues. Our mission is to establish an influential communication platform among scientists, modelers, policymakers, stakeholders, and professionals from academia and industry, and inform strategic decision-making to achieve sustainable development.
Article types
The journal welcomes manuscript submissions in the form of Full Length Article, Review, Short Communication, and Data.
Peer review
This journal follows a review process. Your submission will initially be assessed by our editors to determine suitability for publication in this journal. If your submission is deemed suitable, it will typically be sent to a minimum of two reviewers for an independent expert assessment of the scientific quality. The decision as to whether your article is accepted or rejected will be taken by our editors.

Our editors are not involved in making decisions about papers which:
they have written themselves.
have been written by family members or colleagues.
relate to products or services in which they have an interest.
Any such submissions will be subject to the journal's usual procedures and peer review will be handled independently of the editor involved and their research group. Read more about editor duties.
Authors may submit a formal appeal request to the editorial decision, provided the it meets the requirements and follows the procedure outlined in Elsevier’s Appeal Policy. Only one appeal per submission will be considered and the appeal decision will be final.
Special issues and article collections
The peer review process for special issues and article collections follows the same process as outlined above for regular submissions, except, a guest editor may send the submissions out to the reviewers and may recommend a decision to the journal editor. The journal editor oversees the peer review process of all special issues and article collections to ensure the high standards of publishing ethics and responsiveness are respected and is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles.

Only in exceptional circumstances will the journal editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors post acceptance.
Publication of the manuscript may be paused while a change in authorship request is being considered.
