INFORMATION SOCIETY
online interactive supplementary materials of published
articles, for both technical and academic content, and last
but not least increase the number of articles by means of
introducing short application and long research articles.
PE&RS
has always been described as two journals in one.
Do you consider this to be an asset or a determent to
the journal? Why?
As I mentioned above,
PE&RS
has a unique niche that
we need to advertise at every level. These two parts
connect government, industry and academia together. We
should further improve the content to cater for the needs
of younger audience, such as high schoolers. This added
content will lure these younger minds into geospatial
profession.
What is your opinion of open access publishing? Do you
see this in the near future for
PE&RS
?
Not at the moment, but I see it as a future option. I am
serving on committees in other societies that has ongoing
debate about benefits and drawbacks of open access
publications. A possible direction
PE&RS
may take is
to give open access as an option to the authors who are
willing to pay fees related to it.
