The Spatial Information Research (SIR) mixes academia and industry for Spatial Information Science in a way that no other international journal in this field does. The journal brings science and practice together. This is reflected in a SIR article type, which contains a classical scientific part as well as a chapter with easily understandable practical implications for policy makers and practitioners. It publishes best practice examples (case reports), review as well as theories, methods and data analysis with a link (or a potential link) to spatial information. The boundary of acceptable subject matter has been intentionally left flexible so that the SIR can follow the research activities, technology applications and future trends to build a bridge between science and practice. In this regard, the journal is interested in articles having significant social science component (e.g. spatial information law, cadaster, real property, market survey, marketing strategy, urban planning, regional development, public administration, business administration) that address the social drivers or policy processes of spatial information. The focus of the journal is on all aspects of the application of spatial information science exploring cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge within and across sectors and disciplines including but not limited to; Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), open source geospatial software, cadaster, smart city, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Internet of Things (IOT), 3D visualization, spatial statistics, cartography, Computer-aided design (CAD), photogrammetry, image processing, Topographic surveys, mobile mapping, Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN), programming languages, computer graphics. The different types of articles published in Spatial Information Research are indicated as below;• Original research article (5,000 words): Providing a novel and original contribution to the scientific fields of study outlined above. • Review papers (extensive state-of-the-art surveys of established or emerging topics or application areas); • Special case reports (new useful ideas and brief pertinent comments of a technical nature). • Others that editorial board agrees; rapid communications and discussions, financial funding proposal, opinions, comments and proposals, tutorial.

International Journal of Image and Data Fusion provides a single source of information for all aspects of image and data fusion methodologies, developments, techniques and applications. Image and data fusion techniques are important for combining the many sources of satellite, airborne and ground based imaging systems, and integrating these with other related data sets for enhanced information extraction and decision making. Image and data fusion aims at the integration of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution and multi-platform image data, together with geospatial data, GIS, in-situ, and other statistical data sets for improved information extraction, as well as to increase the reliability of the information. This leads to more accurate information that provides for robust operational performance, i.e. increased confidence, reduced ambiguity and improved classification enabling evidence based management. The journal welcomes original research papers, review papers, shorter letters, technical articles, book reviews and conference reports in all areas of image and data fusion including, but not limited to, the following aspects and topics: • Automatic registration/geometric aspects of fusing images with different spatial, spectral, temporal resolutions; phase information; or acquired in different modes • Pixel, feature and decision level fusion algorithms and methodologies • Data Assimilation: fusing data with models • Multi-source classification and information extraction • Integration of satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensor systems • Fusing temporal data sets for change detection studies (e.g. for Land Cover/Land Use Change studies) • Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.).
