The journal will consider the following article types:
Research Articles
Articles intended for publication in the JGSI should be based on the results of original work carried out by the author(s) and be a distinct contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the selected field and should not have been communicated elsewhere for publication in part or whole.
Following style in the text be followed while citing figures, tables in the MS in different situations. Few examples are given below:
From table 7 and figure 9 five band ratios were formulated based on the spectral behaviour curves to produce spatial distribution image of muscovite schist and gneissic rocks of the study area. The distinctive properties of the rock units were revealed upon close examination of these band ratios in grayscale images (Fig. 10).
Table 9 shows the Eigen values and variances % for the ICA of Landsat-9 (OLI) bands.
Figure 12 shows the plots of reflectance value of muscovite schist and gneissic rock and waste dump are positively correlated (R2 = 0.775).
Short Research Articles
Short Research Articles: The JGSI publishes ‘Short Research Articles’ on priority basis. The ‘Short Research Articles’ address significant recent research results. The general style of these short Articles is similar to that of full articles. MS for these articles must not exceed 5000 words, including illustrations (Full page illustration = 1250 words) and references.
Review Articles
These are intended to trace developments in an area of research and presented in a manner to catch the attention of the general reader. Reviews should be more than a simple compilation and should synthesize known information into a coherent picture and identify gaps in our knowledge.
The following will not form part of the review process. Editor-in-Charge will directly forward to the Production section
