About the journal
Journal of
RS and GIS for Natural Resources
A refereed publication, The Journal of RS and GIS for Natural Resources was established in 2012 and ever since has been published quarterly by the colleges of Environment and Natural Resource, Islamic Azad University, Boushehr Branch, Iran, and Iranian Rangeland Society. In Dec. 2014, The State Commission for the Evaluation of Scientific Journals ranked the journal research-based and scientific, the highest scientific status set for the domestic publications.
As one of the most valid and scholarly journals in the country, the journal is published in Farsi, along with the abstracts in English as well.
This journal is basically dedicated to promoting scholarly exchanges among professors, researchers, and students of different universities, and research institutes, focusing in particular on the exploration of cutting edge knowledge on application of Remote Sensing and GIS in natural resources.
The journal publishes the most up-to-date manuscripts that advance understanding in the areas of specialization. Before the print version is out, the journal can be electronically accessed as PDF or HTML files for free at:
