Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk publishes papers that deal with new concepts, approaches and case studies using geospatial (GIS and GPS) and remote sensing techniques to study monitoring, mapping, risk management and mitigation, risk vulnerability and early warning of natural hazards. All types of natural hazards associated with land, ocean, atmosphere, land-ocean-atmosphere coupling and those induced by climate change are considered. The journal also focuses on the emerging problems related to multi-hazard risk assessment, multi-vulnerability risk assessment, risk quantification, the economic aspects of hazards, visualization and communication.
This new journal in addition publishes results of findings on major natural hazards in the form of Express Letters.

Instructions to Authors
 This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below. Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk will publish papers that deal with new concepts, approaches and case studies using geospatial (GIS and GPS) and remote sensing techniques to study monitoring, mapping, risk management and mitigation, risk vulnerability and early warning of natural hazards. All types of natural hazards associated with land, ocean, atmosphere, land-ocean-atmosphere coupling and those induced by climate change will be considered. The journal will also focus on the emerging problems related to multi-hazard risk assessment, multi-vulnerability risk assessment, risk quantification, visualization and communication.
This new journal will also publish results of findings on major natural hazards in the form of Express Letters.
1. Introduction
The impact of all scientific papers, and the effectiveness of the search-and-retrieval capabilities offered by their electronic publication will depend upon the care used by authors in preparing their manuscripts. It is essential that authors prepare manuscripts according to the journal's established format and style specifications. These are detailed below, in Section 5, and its associated documentation. Failure to follow these specifications will result in your paper being delayed during, or even rejected from, the peer review process.
Therefore, prospective contributors are required to read through these specifications carefully before preparing a manuscript for submission, and to check the manuscript for compliance with these specifications before submitting it for consideration for peer review.
2. Submitting a Paper to Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk All submissions should be made online at the Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk ScholarOne Manuscripts site . New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on this website. This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type
3. General Guidelines
Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk , that they have not been published already, 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 Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk incurs and their papers will not be published.
Contributions to Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editorial Office.
4. Writing your paper
- For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms should not be used.
- Length of the different types of papers:
- 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.
- Express Letters offers authors a route for rapid communication of advance results of research and application, and may later become the subject of a full paper. Authors submitting Letters for consideration should treat requests for revision as a matter of priority: in turn, both the Chief Editor and the Publishers will fast-track the handling of Letters. Letters must not exceed 8 printed pages of the Journal (the equivalent of 2000 words including tables, figures and references) and will normally be published within four months of acceptance.
- 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.
- Papers are normally published in English, but manuscripts in French and German are acceptable for consideration at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
- 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; main text; acknowledgments; appendixes (as appropriate); references; table(s) with caption(s) (can be uploaded separately); figures with caption(s) (can also be uploaded separately).
- Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
- Authors must adhere to SI units . Units are not italicised
- When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors must use the symbol ® or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word that is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
5 . Accepted Manuscripts Online (AMO)
For selected journals, (such as Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk) , Taylor & Francis offers the Accepted Manuscript Online (AMO) feature, whereby the final, accepted (but unedited and uncorrected) manuscript is posted online in HTML form, normally seven working days after receipt at Taylor & Francis. The posted file is clearly identified as an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. Copy-editing, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof are then undertaken on this manuscript.
This early published article will be replaced with a final, corrected version (the Version of Record [VoR]), and placed into an issue of Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk .
Please note that, if accepted, your paper will run through the AMO workflow. You will be notified when your paper is first published online, though an exact posting date cannot be given in advance.
6. Copyright
It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate.
