Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292) publishes regular research papers, reviews, letters and communications covering all aspects of remote sensing science, from sensor design, validation / calibration, to its application in geosciences, environmental sciences, ecology and civil engineering.
Our aim is to publish novel / improved methods / approaches and / or algorithms of remote sensing to benefit the community, open to everyone in need of them.
There is no restriction on the length of the papers or colors used.
The method / approach must be presented in detail so that the results can be reproduced.
There are, in addition, three unique features of this Journal:
Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are welcome
Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material
We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds
