That same gravity also will pull the work to higher impact conferences, such as one of the Association of Computing Machinery specialty meetings - or perhaps to large conferences, like the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. Of course, the interdisciplinary spatial journals have the highest impact:ĭue to the specialized nature of GIScience, I expect the most-influential papers on geospatial information research will begin to be published in journals with a wider reach.
