Top Ten Classic Articles in Cartographica now Free Online

Jeremy W. Crampton
Editor, Cartographica

The top ten most-cited articles in the history of Cartographica are now
freely available online at
http://utpjournals.metapress.com/content/120327/ . Also available by
subscription is the complete back file of articles going back to issue
1:1, when Cartographica was known as The Cartographer. To register for a

The papers represent a wide range of cartographic interests, and include
work by many influential writers. The most-cited article is a well known
piece by Brian Harley, often credited with changing the way we think about
maps. Harley also has an entry at the number 8 position on maps and
ethics. Other notable authors include Mark Monmonier in a piece which
helped establish the analysis of interactive and animated mapping, and G.
Langran and Nik Chrisman's article on temporal data.

Several authors including Mark Kumler and James Carter focus on the
representation of elevation data, presciently foreshadowing today's
interest in virtual globes and terrain representation. The deep ties
between cartography and GIS are also clear in work by David Mark and Donna
Peuquet.

The listing was created using Elsevier's Scopus database, and is current
as of December 2007.
