Assessment of Selected Geographic Information Science (GIScience) Journals: Trends and Ranking Across Metrics

Abstract

In this presentation, I\u27ll share insights from my research, recently published in the International Journal of Geographical Information Science, which analyzes publication trends in GIScience journals. I examined data from 2018 to 2023, focusing on open access, author representation, and journal metrics. My findings highlight the growing prevalence of open access and the need to address global representation disparities. I\u27ll present these results and, importantly, provide updated data reflecting the most current publishing patterns. This work offers a critical overview of the evolving GIScience literature, aiming to inform researchers and practitioners alike
