Surveying and Land Information Science | ||||
Surveying and Land Information Science (SaLIS) is the official publication of the American Association of Geodetic Surveying (AAGS), the Geographic and Land Information Society (GLIS), and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), who are all member organizations of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). It is a scientific journal devoted to reporting research and new work conducted to advance geodetic surveying, land surveying, large-scale mapping, and geographic information systems designed to advance the development and management of the cadastral parcel data layer and other land information applications. The SaLIS journal has been in existence for almost a quarter of a century, and in that time, a number of its editors were geodesists belonging to AAGS. SaLIS publishes research articles, technical papers, technical notes, papers on the current state of surveying education, surveying history, book reviews, and current literature reviews. Every four years, the journal publishes the U.S. Report to the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG). The proceedings of the Surveying Teachers Conference are published bi-annually. SaLIS is published online at Ingenta Connect. Submit papers to the technical editor of SaLIS Professor Steve Frank, Surveying Engineering Department, New Mexico State University, e-mail: sfrank@nmsu.edu. SaLIS is edited and published by Ilse Genovese, SaLIS Managing Editor; e-mail: ilse.genovese@acsm.net. Authors, download here guidelines for preparing manuscripts for submission.

Cartography and Geographic Information Science |
Cartography and Geographic Information Science (CaGIS) is the official publication of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS), a member organization of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). The Cartography and Geographic Information Society supports research, education, and practices that improve the understanding, creation, analysis, and use of maps and geographic information. The role of the CaGIS journal is to facilitate these objectives by disseminating results and reports in these areas of interest. In 2004, CaGIS became one of the three official journals of the International Cartographic Association (ICA). This distinction has allowed the Journal to expand its reach worldwide, with the benefits of including international submissions and inviting international participation in the editorial and review process of submissions to the International Cartographic Conference.The CaGIS journal is the home of the U.S. National Report to the ICA. More information on the U.S.-ICA National Committee is available at http://www.cartogis.org/usnc-ica. The technical Editor of CaGIS is Dr. Michael Leitner, associate professor of geography at the Louisiana State University. Dr. Jeong Chang Seong (professor of geoscience, University of West Georgia) and Prof. David A. Bennett (University of Iowa) are Associate Editors. Dr. Thomas W. Hodler (University of Georgia) is the Cartographic Editor. CaGIS is edited for language and published by Ilse Genovese, the CaGIS Managing Editor.
