Greetings everyone,

Nathan and I would like to announce that we will be stepping down as
Co-Editors in Chief of the Journal of Map and Geography Libraries (JMGL)
effective January 1, 2023. Taylor and Francis has an active announcement

recruiting a new editor(s) if you or someone you know might be interested.



We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish during our five years:
journal usage metrics and citation scores have increased consistently over
our tenure while the time to acceptance and publication has been stable. We
also feel that the quality of papers published has remained high and we are
excited to publish the last volume later this year that has some great
papers in it!



And on that note, we are doing an open call for papers for our final issue
volume 18, issue 3. If you’ve been sitting on an idea for an article, have
one in the works that you need to get back to, please submit it! The
deadline for submission is October 22, 2022.



Instructions for authors can be found here:

If you have any questions, you can reach out to Nathan or myself off list
and we’ll be happy to chat either about the editor position or publishing
an article.


Marcy
