Submission Guidelines

Papers should describe original research. Ongoing or recently completed works are welcome. All the submissions will be reviewed by multiple members of a highly qualified scientific committee.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• ➤  Short papers: contributions describing original ongoing research works, consisting of up to 6 pages, in English (preferably), or Portuguese.
• ➤  Full papers: contributions describing original recently finished research works, consisting of up to 12 pages, in English.
• ➤  Databases and datasets: contributions describing a geospatial dataset organized by its authors, consisting of up to 6 pages, in English (preferably), or Portuguese, including a link to a public data repository. The paper must not necessarily include scientific questions, but must contain a clear description of the data and corresponding metadata.
• ➤  Tools: contributions describing original tools and applications, consisting of up to 6 pages, in English (preferably), or Portuguese, including a link to a public repository. The paper must not necessarily include source-code, but must describe the tool or application's architecture and functionality.

Contributions must be submitted in PDF format, made in accordance with the SBC guidelines. Templates and instructions for preparing manuscripts on OpenOffice, MS-Word, or LaTeX can be found at:
https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos

Full papers must be presented orally. Short papers are also presented orally, but some works may be selected for presentation in a poster session. Posters should be 90 cm X 1.0 to 1.2 m. The layout is free. We suggest the inclusion of the GEOINFO logo.

Publication

GEOINFO 2025 proceedings will be published at GEOINFO Series

Journals

Authors of selected full papers will be invited to submit an extended version in a special edition of the Brazilian Journal of Cartography (RBC) or the Journal of Information and Data Management (JIDM).

RBC is a traditional open-access journal that has been published six times a year for more than 40 years. It is sponsored by the Brazilian Society of Cartography, Geodesy, Photogrammetry, and Remote Sensing (SBC), focusing on cartography, remote sensing, photogrammetry, geodesy, and related areas. More about RBC at http://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistabrasileiracartografia.

The Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) sponsors JIDM, an electronic journal that appears three times a year. It focuses on information and data management in large repositories and document collections. It relates to different areas of computer science, including databases, information retrieval, digital libraries, knowledge discovery, data mining, and information systems.
