The Indonesian Journal of Geospatial (IJOG) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the advancement of geospatial science, geodesy, geomatics, remote sensing, geographic information science (GIScience), hydrography, and related interdisciplinary fields. As a continuation of the former Jurnal Surveying dan Geodesi, IJOG serves as a scholarly platform for disseminating original research, technological innovations, methodological developments, and practical applications that contribute to the understanding, measurement, modeling, monitoring, and management of the Earth's surface and environment.

The journal welcomes high-quality contributions that advance the theory, methodology, technology, and application of geospatial information for scientific research, spatial decision-making, environmental management, infrastructure development, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
