Revue Internationale de Géomatique (RIG, International Journal of Geomatics) is an international interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the sciences of geographical information and spatial analysis. Since 1991, RIG has published original research articles in both French and English, promoting collaboration among researchers from geography, computer science, remote sensing, social sciences, environmental sciences, archaeology, and agronomy.
The journal focuses on approaches, methods, and tools developed to analyse, model, represent, and solve spatial problems in geographical space. RIG welcomes both theoretical and application-oriented contributions related to geomatics, geospatial technologies, and spatial decision-making.
Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
· Remote sensing and earth observation
· Spatial analysis and spatial modelling
· Geospatial big data and data management
· Spatial ontologies and geometry processing
· Spatial planning, land use, and regional development
· Transport, mobility, and participatory GIS
· Environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and conservation
· Geospatial approaches for global change studies
RIG particularly encourages interdisciplinary research combining technological innovations with real-world spatial applications. The journal values studies that integrate computer science and geographical information sciences to address complex environmental, territorial, and societal challenges.

Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.
