A pioneer in scholarly, open access publishing, MDPI has supported academic communities since 1996. Based in Basel, Switzerland, MDPI has the mission to foster open scientific exchange in all forms, across all disciplines.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (ISSN 2220-9964) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of geographic information. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information publishes regular research papers, reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.

Geomatics (ISSN 2673-7418) is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal, published quarterly online by MDPI. Geomatics is a modern, technology-driven discipline that integrates data acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization of geo-referenced information to support a wide range of applications in land, water, atmospheric, and extraterrestrial environments. Evolving from traditional surveying and mapping, Geomatics combines digital tools, sensor technologies, spatial algorithms, and geoinformatics to produce accurate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D representations essential for environmental monitoring, resource management, and informed decision-making. By providing validated spatial data and services, Geomatics serves as a vital foundation for scientific research, policy development, and sustainable solutions across diverse environmental and societal domains. Our aim is to publish papers on the latest advances, as well as review articles, concerning all aspects of the geomatic sciences and applications.

Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292) publishes regular research papers, reviews, technical notes and communications covering all aspects of remote sensing science, from sensor design, validation/calibration, to its application in geosciences, environmental sciences, ecology and civil engineering. Our aim is to publish novel/improved methods/approaches and/or algorithms of remote sensing to benefit the community, open to everyone in need of them. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers or colors used. The method/approach must be presented in detail so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this Journal: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are welcome Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

Drones (ISSN 2504-446X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published monthly online. The journal focuses on the design and applications of drones, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs), etc. Likewise, contributions based on unmanned marine/water/underwater drones, unmanned ground vehicles, fully autonomous driving, and space drones are also welcome.
