About this journal Journal of Geodetic Science is a peer-reviewed, electronic-only journal that publishes original, high-quality research on topics broadly related to Geodesy. The journal focuses on theoretical and application papers. The aim of the Journal is to become a premier source of knowledge and a worldwide-recognized platform of exchange for scientists of different disciplinary origins and backgrounds (e.g., Surveyors, Geodesists and Geophysicists). The journal publishes geodetic research from a broad range of topics and approaches including Geodetic Networks, Deformation analysis, Adjustment theory and application of mathematical statistics, Satellite Geodesy, Physical Geodesy, Geodynamics, Geometric Geodesy, (see the scope listed below for more). However, we will accept both theoretical and empirical contributions in all subfields of Geodesy as long as they contribute in a broad sense to the core theme. The scope includes, but is not restricted to: Surveying Engineering Geodetic Networks Deformation Analysis Adjustment Theory and Mathematical Geodesy Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Inertial Geodesy Geoid determination and height systems Marine Geodesy and Satellite Altimetry Satellite Gravimetry Geometric Geodesy Numerical methods and software developments in Geodesy Geodynamics Geophysical Geodesy Journal Partners Your Benefits Authors benefit from critical peer review and promotion of published papers to readers and citers. The journal uses a continuous publication model. Thanks to Open Access, all articles are freely available to the academic community worldwide without any restrictions. Authors also benefit from more liberal policies on copyrights (authors retain copyright) and on self-archiving (no embargo periods). The journal is archived in Portico. Article Processing Charges In order to sustain the publishing process, each article accepted for publication in Journal of Geodetic Sciences is subject to an Article Processing Charge of €750. This fee is used to cover the costs of the peer-review process, professional typesetting and copyediting, as well as online hosting, long-term preservation, and extensive promotion to potential readers. There is no submission fee. Information regarding payment of the charge will be provided following acceptance for publication. For more information please go to Article Processing Charges.
