Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a milestone achievement for Geomatics—the journal has received its first Impact Factor of 2.8, ranked Q2 in both GEOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL and REMOTE SENSING categories, and first CiteScore of 5.1, ranked Q1 in both Earth and Planetary Sciences (miscellaneous) and Engineering (miscellaneous), a testament to the growing recognition and academic excellence of our publication. This success would not have been possible without the valuable contributions of our authors, reviewers, and editorial board members.
To mark this exciting occasion, we are launching a Special Issue showcasing cutting-edge research and innovative applications in the field of Geomatics. We warmly invite you to submit your high-quality manuscripts to help shape the future of geospatial science and celebrate this important achievement with us.
Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to):
- geodesy and gravimetry;
- technical and thematic cartography production;
- aerial and close range photogrammetry;
- topographic survey;
- satellite-based positioning (GNSS) and navigation;
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and mobile mapping;
- aerial and terrestrial LiDAR;
- ground and structures/infrastructures deformation monitoring;
- hydrography and bathymetry;
- optical and radar remote sensing techniques, methods and data quality evaluation;
- odometry;
- extra-terrestrial geomatics;
- digital twins;
- indoor positioning, navigation and mapping;
- standardization of workflows for acquisition, processing and validation of geographical data and spatial measures;
- officiality and legal value of spatial information;
- crowdsourcing/volunteered geographic information and citizen science;
- frontiers of geomatics applications like human and animal health, epidemiological modelling, risk analysis and spatially based simulation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geomatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
