The ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is the official journal of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). The journal is to provide a channel of communication for scientists and professionals in all countries working in the many disciplines employing photogrammetry, remote sensing, spatial information systems, computer vision, and other related fields. The journal is designed to serve as a source reference and archive of advancements in these disciplines.

The journal's objective is to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, preferably previously unpublished papers of a scientific/research, technological development or application/practical nature. The journal will publish papers, including those based on ISPRS meeting presentations, which are regarded as significant contributions in the above mentioned fields. We especially encourage papers: of broad scientific interest; on innovative applications, particularly in new fields; of an interdisciplinary nature; on topics that have not been dealt with (or to a small degree) by the ISPRS Journal or related journals; and on topics related to new possible scientific/professional directions. Preferably, theoretical papers should include applications, and papers dealing with systems and applications should include theoretical background.

The ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is published by Elsevier in one volume per year with six issues.

Paper requirements
Please follow the instructions for authors for the preparation of your paper. Template files created by Elsevier are available for Microsoft Word and LaTeX. Note that submitted papers should be formatted in one column and with double line spacing. Elsevier's Authors Gateway also provides general information on publishing papers in Elsevier journals.

Paper submission
Papers should be submitted electronically using the Elsevier Editorial System at http://ees.elsevier.com/photo. First time users will first need to create a profile at this web address and obtain a username and password. Authors should then submit all text-processing files, i.e. one Word file with all information included and files for figures, or one LaTeX file together with all style files, bibliography files and Postscript files for the figures. Authors are advised to only submit a PDF file in case the automatic PDF generation fails.

Editorial services
Authors needing help with paper editing, linguistic corrections and proof reading can make use of the services provided by David Tait, former Editor-in-Chief of the ISPRS Journal. David Tait, previously with the University of Glasgow, provides these services under the firm Giffnock Editorial Services. He can be contacted at d.a.tait@ntlworld.com.
