Submitting to GIS Lounge
Articles
GIS Lounge welcomes contributing authors who wish to publish quality, GIS / geospatial original content on this site. Contact Caitlin Dempsey at editor@gislounge.com with your article proposal. Articles can be on a range of topics relating to GIS, mapping, cartography and geospatial technologies.
Articles published in GIS Lounge qualify for points as part of the Contribution to the Profession section in the GISP application.
Submissions accepted include articles, technical papers, tutorials, geographic concept papers, and other GIS content. Do you have a GIS project you’d like to showcase? GIS Lounge is looking to profile real world examples of geospatial technologies and analysis at work. This could be a map you created, a web mapping application, a field mapping project, or a write up about using open source GIS. Do you have a tutorial, technical how to, or content on GIS trends or technology? Original (not previously published) content will be published upon review and notification of acceptance. Please avoid the use of superlatives (e.g. this software is the best!) in your article.
To submit an article, please email editor@gislounge.com with the following:
- A write-up between 500 and 1,500 words.
- Images or screenshots to help illustrate the topic of your article.
- A statement by you, in the body of the email, that the work you are submitting is your original work, that you have the rights to the imagery submitted, and that you give permission to GIS Lounge to publish both the submitted content and imagery.
