Special editors: Aileen Buckley and Bernie Jenny
At last year's annual fall NACIS meeting (October 18‐19), a special series of events took place around the subject of the aesthetics of mapping. The goal was to bring together members of the NACIS community and invited participants from outside the cartographic community to encourage cross‐disciplinary communication around the central subject of the aesthetics of mapping. The events included a forum that convened during the first two sessions on the first day of the conference. It was clear that thesubject of aesthetics and mapping is of great interest to many in the cartographic community as well as outside of the cartographic mainstream. As a result, we are compiling a special issue of Cartographic Perspectives (CP), the online NACIS journal, around this theme.
All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers can besubmitted in the formats below following the CP author instructions. Accepted papers will be published in the special CP issue:
Important dates:
Please send submissions to Aileen Buckley (abuckley@esri.com) or Bernie Jenny (jennyb@geo.oregonstate.edu).
