The Malaysian Journal of Remote Sensing & GIS ( MJRS&GIS) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed e-journal published quarterly by the Malaysian Remote Sensing Society ( www.mrss.com.my/publication.html ).
The journal covers all aspects of remote sensing and GIS theories, experiments, systems design and application for environment and engineering disciplines. The main topics are: sensor, image processing, algorithms design, software, oceanography, meteorology, modeling, GIS principles and applications.
We encourage submissions on research and utilization of innovative technologies in the remote sensing, photogrammetric, and GIS fields, as well as technologies that will provide information or assistance to the Geospatial communities. We also welcome submissions for updates on all Geospatial-related technologies.
MJRS&GIS welcomes t he submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence in the following subject area:
• Agriculture • Ecosystems • Hydrology • Clouds and the Atmosphere • Ocean, Sea Ice • Coastal Waters, and Large Water Regions • Sensors, Systems, and Next-generation Satellites • Earth Resources and Environmental Management • Addressing Natural Disasters and Sustainable Resources • High-Performance Computing • Digital Image and Signal Processing • Close-range Sensing and System Development • Data Partnerships • Data Management • Enterprise GIS • GIS Modeling and Analysis • Urban/Wildland Fire Interface • Wetland/Aquatic • Archeology • Change Detection • Data Fusion • Feature Extraction • Global Studies • Hydrology/Ocean • Natural Hazards • Transportation; and Web Services RS/Photogrammetric/GIS Applications |
back to topMJRS&GIS is concerned with the science and technology of Remote Sensing - GIS and its applications in all major disciplines. The journal covers all aspects of remote sensing and GIS theories, experiments, systems design and application for environment and engineering disciplines. The main topics are: sensor, image processing, algorithms design, software, oceanography, meteorology, modeling, GIS principles and applications.
The journal contains primary research papers on basic science, techniques and applications, review articles, short technical notes and a section of technical Letters containing material that merits fast publication.

Type of paper
MJRS&GIS will publish:
(1) Research papers are typically between 5000 and 8000 words debating and exploring theoretical and methodological issues, methodological approaches and substantive topics. However, there is not necessarily any lower or upper limit on length;
(2) Technical Notes are designed as a medium for the publication of short communications that, however, do not require the fast-track publication route offered for Letters. Technical notes are typically between the equivalent of 1000 and 2000 words.
Student research paper
This is for the first time that MJRS&GIS is going to take an initiative to encourage students who are engaged in research, motivating towards continued researches in the field of remote sensing and GIS. Special pages will welcome them to publish articles on their research and best student article will be awarded a 1000 RM each year. Students are welcome to submit any article online (permission of the supervisor is required before publishing).
Submission
Please submit your paper at submission.mjrsgis@gmail.com, with a cover letter to Chief editor.
General guidelines
The MJRS&GIS considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to MJRS&GIS, that they have not been published, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged with all costs which the MJRS&GIS incurs and their papers will not be published.
We are pleased to announce that the MJRS&GIS has the capacity to publish free color for its authors - providing that the figure warrants colour, and is used in situations where it is necessary on scientific, and not merely cosmetic, grounds. Final decision will be at the Editor-in-Chief's discretion. For detailed information, please see Instructions for Authors at http://www.mrss.com.my/publication.htm
