The journal will cover all aspects of remote sensing and its applications and will publish scientific papers in the subject areas such as: geology, mineral exploration, hydrogeology, planetary geology, soil sciences, agriculture, archeology, surveying, environment, engineering and space sciences. Articles should be concise, innovative and of interest to a broad spectrum of readers.

All paper should be sent on 3.5 diskette. All manuscripts are limited to a size of no more than 25 double-spaced pages in the printed version of the paper, including abstracts, figures, tables and references. The font type of all papers should be Times New Roman 11. All margins shall be 2.5 cm., do not apply page numbering. The title should appear in bold capital letters without underlining (Times New Roman with a size of 12). Use more than one line if you wish. Leave two blank lines after the title. Type the author(s) name(s), affiliation (position and institution) with size of 11. Then leave one blank line under the author name and type "ABSTRACT" in bold capital letters with a size of 11, then start a concise abstract in one paragraph and double-spaced. Type double-spaced text. Start paragraphs flush with left margin. The whole text should be non-italic, non-bold Times New Roman with a size of 11. Major headings are to be typed in bold capital letters without underlining, after one blank line and followed by one blank line. Subheading are to be typed in italic upper case and lower case letters, after one blank line and not followed by any blank lines. Figures, line drawing, photographs, tables… should be placed in the appropriate location in the document. They should have a caption, e.g. Figure 1, figure 2, Table 1 …

References should be cited and listed in alphabetical order in the reference section. The following arrangements should be used with journal titles being given in full and with first and last page numbers of articles being given: Journals: TASSAN, S., and Sturm, B., 1986.
