GISRUK 2007 Proceedings
Post-conference publications
Authors are invited to submit full
papers based on their presentations and extended abstracts for publication in a
special issue of Computers Environment and Urban Systems and a special
volume of Innovations in GIS plus, depending on quantity and quality of
submissions, in other journals. All papers will be peer reviewed. Each
issue/volume will be themed depending on the scope of submitted papers.
Initially, authors should send manuscripts (prepared according to the instructions
for authors, guide 5000-6000 words plus illustrations) to gisruk@nuim.ie. Following review, successful
authors will be offered publication in the appropriate volume. Schedule for
publication is in early 2008 (in time for GISRUK 2008).
