Remote Sensing Letters is a peer-reviewed international journal committed to the rapid publication of articles advancing the science and technology of remote sensing as well as its applications. The journal originates from a successful section, of the same name, contained in the International Journal of Remote Sensing from 1983-2009. Articles may address any aspect of remote sensing of relevance to the journal’s readership including, but not limited to, developments in sensor technology, advances in image processing and Earth-orientated applications, whether terrestrial, oceanic or atmospheric. Articles should make a positive impact on the subject by either contributing new and original information or through provision of theoretical, methodological or commentary material that acts to strengthen the subject.
Articles should be submitted through the journal’s ScholarOne Manuscripts site and may be of no more than 10 journal pages in length; it may be possible to transfer articles such as those that cannot meet this limit to the International Journal of Remote Sensing . Articles that pass initial processing stages will be sent out for review. The reviews solicited from independent experts and the journal’s editorial board will inform the editorial decisions.
There is no charge for colour illustrations.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript preparation
1. General guidelines
- Manuscripts are usually accepted in English, but manuscripts in French and German are acceptable for consideration at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Oxford English Dictionary spelling and punctuation are preferred. Please use single quotation marks, except where ‘a quotation is “within” a quotation’. Long quotations of 40 words or more should be indented without quotation marks.
- Research papers and Technical Notes should be submitted to International Journal of Remote Sensing
- Remote Sensing Letters offers authors a route for rapid communication of advance results of research and application, which may later become the subject of a full paper. Authors submitting articles for consideration should treat requests for revision as a matter of priority: in turn, the Editors, Editorial Assistant and the Publishers will fast-track the handling of Letters. Letters must not exceed 10 printed pages of the Journal and will normally be published within four weeks of acceptance.
- A typical manuscript will not exceed 10 pages including tables, references, captions and endnotes. Manuscripts that greatly exceed this will be critically reviewed with respect to length. Authors should include a word count with their manuscript.
- Manuscripts should be single-spaced throughout including the reference section, with wide (3 cm) margins.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).

- All authors of a manuscript should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the corresponding author. Please give the affiliation where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted. Please note that the email address of the corresponding author will normally be displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal style) and the online article.

- Authors must also incorporate a Disclosure Statement which will acknowledge any financial interest or benefit they have arising from the direct applications of their research.
- For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms must not be used.

You must ensure appropriate acknowledgement is given to the permission granted to you for reuse by the copyright holder in each figure or table caption. You are solely responsible for any fees which the copyright holder may charge for reuse.
