Open Access Cartography Journals
A list of Open Access Cartography journals for you to publish your manuscript in
Cartography is study of making maps
Open access (OA) is a key part of making research shareable and reproducable. All journal articles published open access undergoe the same rigorous peer review process.
We hope this list of Cartography OA journals will be helpful for you in deciding where to publish your Cartography manuscript.
The list below includes all high-impact factor Cartography journals as well as new up and comming journals where it might also be more affordable to publish.Rather than just the top hits Cartography journals, we have made an exhaustive list of open accesss Cartography journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Cartography venue for your manuscript.
The DOAJ columns refers to the The Directory of Open Access Journals, a list of open access journals, maintained by Infrastructure Services for Open Access.
There are certain criteria a journal must meet to be indexed by DOAJ, and thus inclusion in the DOAJ index is seen by scholars as a mark of quality.
All the open access Cartography journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Cartography OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I publish my Cartography paper?
You can publish your Cartography paper in the Open Access journals in this list
What is Open Access (OA)?
Open Access aims to provide immediate and unrestricted access to research articles while along you to also share it freely
What does “relevance” mean in the table?
In the table above, relevance is used to determine the level of association between a journal and the concept it is listed under, from 0-100.
How do you count total number of citations?
The citations show how often works from this journal are referenced in other research papers. This data is obtained from OpenAlex. Even though the accuracy is debatable, it could help you determine how prestigious a journal is on the whole.
Where can I find other lists like this one?
If you are looking for an author or paper, you can simply type it in the search box above to see your results. If you'd like to see a similar list to this one, check OA.mg
How can I publish my paper on OA.mg?
Our focus at OA.mg is to disseminate existing open access research papers. For this reason, we do not offer publishing services.
What is an APC?
An APC is the article processing charge that an author of a given research paper has to pay in order to get it published in a journal. APCs are most commonly used by open access journals or by journals who offer open access publishing.
What are the different Open Access types?
Different open access types are commonly described using a colour system. The most commonly recognised names are “green”, “gold”, and “hybrid” open access; however, “bronze”, “black”, and “diamond” also exist.
