ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (ISSN 2220-9964) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of geographic information. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information publishes regular research papers, reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.

The Financial Analysts Journal has a long and proud tradition as a leading investment-practitioner forum in the industry. The FAJ also plays a key role in advancing the educational goal of CFA Institute by linking innovative researchers and thinkers to the broad practitioner community. CFA Institute is committed to supporting the FAJ's purpose and role, as defined in its mission statement, and to ensuring that the FAJ's policies and procedures comply with best practice for research journals. The goal of the Financial Analysts Journal is to advance the knowledge and understanding of the practice of investment management through the publication of high-quality, practitioner-relevant research. The FAJ should serve as a bridge between academic research and practice by seeking academically rigorous papers that have direct relevance to practitioners, a forum for presenting practitioner research, and a forum for the perspectives of leading practitioners, academics, and regulators about our industry.
