Since 2013, the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) publishes IEEE Geoscience and Remote
Sensing Magazine. The magazine provides a new venue to publish high-quality technical articles that by
their very nature do not find a home in journals requiring scientific innovation but that provide relevant information
to scientists, engineers, end-users, and students who interact in different ways with the geoscience and remote
sensing disciplines. Therefore, the magazine publishes tutorial and review papers, as well as technical papers on
geoscience and remote sensing topics, but the last category (technical papers) only in connection to a Special
Issue.

The magazine also publishes columns and articles on these topics:
◗ Education in remote sensing
◗ Space agency activities
◗ Industrial profiles and activities
◗ IDEA Committee activities
◗ GRSS Technical Committee activities
◗ GRSS Chapter activities
◗ Software reviews and data set descriptions
◗ Book reviews
◗ Conferences and workshop reports.

The magazine is published with an appealing layout in a digital format, and its articles are also published in electronic
format in the IEEE Xplore online archive. The digital format is different from the electronic format used by the IEEE
Xplore website. The digital format allows readers to navigate and explore the technical content of the magazine with
a look and feel similar to that of a printed magazine. The electronic version provided on the IEEE Xplore website
allows readers to access individual articles as separate PDF files. Both the digital and the electronic magazine
content is freely available to all GRSS members.

This call for papers is to encourage all potential authors to prepare and submit tutorials and technical papers for
review to be published in the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine. Contributions for any of the above-
mentioned topics of the magazine (including columns) are also welcome.

Authors interested in proposing special issues as guest editors are encouraged to contact the editor-in-chief directly
for information about the proposal submission template, as well as the proposal evaluation and special issue
management procedures.

All tutorial, review and technical papers will undergo blind review by multiple reviewers. The submission and
review process are managed at the IEEE Manuscript Central, as is already done for the three GRSS journals.
Prospective authors are required to submit electronically using the website http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/grs
by selecting the “Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine” option from the drop-down list. Instructions for
creating new user accounts, if necessary, are available on the login screen. No other manners of submission are accepted.
Papers should be submitted in single column, double-spaced format.
