Applications are invited for the editorship of Cartographica.

The University of Toronto Press – Journals Division is requesting proposals from individuals seeking consideration to become the next editor or co-editor of Cartographica.

Cartographica is dedicated to publishing articles on all aspects of cartographic and geovisualization research while maintaining its tradition of publishing material on cartographic thought, the history of cartography, and cartography and society.

The regular issues also include strong reviews of reference books and atlases as well as listings of recent cartographic literature from around the world.

Cartographica encourages applications from potential Editors who have a clear vision for the future of the journal. The Editor is responsible for all aspects of publication associated with maintaining Cartographica as the premier journal of its kind presenting perspectives on all levels of geovisualization research, the history of cartography, cartography and society, and other related fields.
