ICC 2025 publications follow the ICA publication regulations. Accepted abstracts and papers that have been revised to address reviewer comments will be published in one of the ICA publications:
Abstracts of the ICA, Proceedings of the ICA, Advances of the ICA or International Journal of Cartography.
Authors of accepted abstracts have the option to expand their abstract into a full paper of 8 pages for publication in the Proceedings of the ICA. If they opt not to do this, their abstract will be published in the Abstracts of the ICA.
Full papers are accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the ICA or in the Advances of the ICA. Selected papers accepted for the Advances will be invited to submit their papers to the International Journal of Cartography, for inclusion in a special issue.
On submission, authors will be able to indicate whether they would like their abstracts and papers to be considered for a special issue in one of the ICAs three affiliated journals. Following the submission of revisions, editors of the affiliated journals will invite authors of selected abstracts and papers with the potential to be developed into a full journal paper to submit a substantially revised and/or expanded paper to a special issue in their journal, to be published in 2026:

Cartographica
Cartographica is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that publishes transformative research, education, and practice contributions to the social, political, technological, and historical aspects of cartography. Cartographica provides a forum for the exchange of original perspectives and innovative findings in the production, design, use, cognitive understanding, and novel applications of maps in arts, cartography, computer science, economy, engineering, geography, history, medicine, health, and surveying.

Cartography and Geographic Information Science (CaGIS)
Cartography and Geographic Information Science (CaGIS) is the official publication of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society. The Society supports research, education, and practices that improve the understanding, creation, analysis, and use of maps and geographic information. The CaGIS journal implements the objectives of the Society by publishing authoritative peer-reviewed articles that report on innovative research in cartography and geographic information science.

The Cartographic Journal
The Cartographic Journal is an established peer reviewed journal of record and comment containing authoritative articles and international papers on all aspects of cartography, the science and technology of presenting, communicating, and analysing spatial relationships by means of maps and other geographical representations of the Earth’s surface. This includes coverage of related technologies where appropriate, for example, remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), the internet and global positioning systems. The Journal also publishes articles on social, political and historical aspects of cartography.

Pathways from Submission to Publication

Poster Guidelines
Prepare your visual story with clarity and impact, download the official ICC25 Poster Guidelines, including specifications and tips to help you design an engaging and effective poster.
Call for Abstracts and Papers
The International Cartographic Association (ICA) invites you to share your research, practice and experiences in cartography and GIScience at the 32nd International Cartographic Conference (ICC 2025) to be held from 17 to 22 August 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Submissions of abstracts (1-2 pages) and full papers (8 pages) in English are accepted, following the respective ICA templates. Abstracts and full papers will be peer reviewed by a minimum of two experts in the field against the following criteria: scientific originality, potential interest to the community, proper documentation of prior work, clarity of presentation, technical correctness, and correct use of language.
Authors of accepted abstracts and papers will be invited to present their work in English at the ICC 2025, either as oral presentation or as poster. The presenting author must register for the conference.
Call for Student Paper Session
The Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG) student chapter invites Doctoral and Master’s students to share their research, practice, and experiences in Cartography and Geographic Science. Submissions from active CIG student members will be considered for the Best Student Paper award.

ICA Scholarships for Young Scientists
We’re delighted to share that ICA Scholarships have supported talented young scientists in actively contributing to and participating in the 2025 International Cartographic Conference.
While the call for ICC 2025 scholarships is now closed, we encourage you to stay connected for future opportunities and continue engaging with the ICA community. For full scholarship guidelines and criteria, please visit the ICA website linked here.
