Call for Papers: National Social Maps
Contributions are invited to a special edition of the Journal of Maps devoted to National Social Maps. The broad theme is mapping of value added social data covering a whole country. We are interested in maps which show clear and distinct socio-geographic patterns, we are especially interested in:
- The mapping of previously unmapped data and indices
- Non-standard representations of space such as cartograms
- New and non-standard geographies
- New and innovative ways of mapping social data
To submit a paper, authors should do the following:
1. Submit a short draft (500 word limit) outlining the key themes and scope of the paper, where possible including example mapping, by 30th April 2009, to Dan Vickers.
2. Submit a completed paper (2500 word limit) to the Journal of Maps by 31st July 2009.
