Submitted absracts/papers will be subject to stringent peer review by at least two experts and carefully evaluated based on scientific originality, potential interest in the community, proper documentation of prior work, clarity of presentation, technical correctness, correct use of language. Accepted abstracts/papers will appear in one of the publications of ICA events, published in the ICA proceedings series at Copernicus. This series allows for three different formats:
- Advances in Cartography and GIScience of the International Cartographic Association (Advances of the ICA) (single-blind peer review based on a full paper);
- Proceedings of the International Cartographic Association (Proceedings of the ICA) (single-blind peer review based on submitted abstracts, developed to full paper);
- Abstracts of the International Cartographic Association (short: Abstracts of the ICA) (single-blind peer review based on submitted abstracts; publication of abstract only).
The International Cartographic Exhibition (ICE) will be held in a wonderful setting in the Galleria delle Carrozze of Palazzo Medici Riccardi in the city center of Firenze.
We expect all ICA National Members to take this opportunity to contribute to the map exhibition. At this time, please send the name of the individual who will be responsible for collecting maps for Firenze from your country to Professors Elena Dai Prà and Andrea Cantile (exhibition@icc2021.net).
For details about the ICE see the official guidelines: https://www.icc2021.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ICC_2021_Guidelines_201204_web.pdf
The biennial and inspiring Barbara Petchenik Children’s World Map Competition will also be held in Firenze next December. The expectation is that ICA National Members will arrange a national competition within their country, and the winning maps from each nation’s contest will be sent to the international Children’s Map Competition coordinator, per the competition guidelines. Details can be found on the ICA website (https://icaci.org/petchenik), the commission website (http://lazarus.elte.hu/ccc/ccc.htm), and the commission Facebook profile (https://www.facebook.com/icaccc). At this time, please send the name and contact information (affiliation, work address, phone number, and e-mail address) of the person responsible for organization of your national competition. This information will be made public on the ICA website. This information should be sent to the commission vice-chairperson (José Jesús Reyes Nunez, jesusreyes@caesar.elte.hu) and the chair (Carla Cristina R. G. de Sena, cacrisusp@gmail.com). Please include both email addresses in your correspondence.
Other information concerning the conference will be published on the conference website as it becomes available. This information will include the outline of the conference, social events, tours, technical visits, workshops, exhibitions, and accommodation.
