Please add only conferences series that comply to the following rules:

• Only conference series, no single or one-time conferences.
• The conference is strongly related to and broadly accepted in the field of GIScience.
• The conference is mainly of scientific character, and it is not related to only one or two special examples or software/data products.
• Contributions to the conference are peer-reviewed.
• The conference has an international character. This excludes conferences that are of purely local character.
• Workshops are not counted as a conferences.

Journals

A typical journal looks like follows:

GSIS:
  name: Geo-spatial Information Science
  abbreviation: GSIS
  url: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tgsi20/current
  publisher: Taylor & Francis
  open access: false

The first line is only an internal abbreviation. If an official/widely-used abbreviation exists, it is used in the first line, and the first characters of the journal name otherwise (including capitals and lower case letters). If a name only consisting of one word shall be abbreviated, the internal abbreviation equals the name.

Please order the journals by the internal abbreviation (first line)!

The abbreviation shall only be provided if an official or a widely-used abbreviation exists. The url of the journal is essential. For Taylor & Francis journals, please provide a link of the form http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/***/current. The publisher needs to be provided in short form.

If a journal does not provide open access by default, it shall be marked as open access: false. Only purely open access journals shall be marked as open access: true.

Please add only journals that comply to the following rules:

• The journal is strongly related to and broadly accepted in the field of GIScience. This is the case for all journals that have GIS or GIScience in their name or in their description.
• The journal is of scientific character.
• Contributions to the journal are peer-reviewed.
• The journal has an international character. This excludes journals that are of purely local character.
