Pavlis Subject: Call for papers: Journal of Geodesy Special Issue on Laser Ranging Dear Colleagues, The International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) is organizing the = collection of papers dealing with the topics of interest to ILRS, for = publication in a Special Issue (SI) of the Journal of Geodesy (JoG). The = ILRS has polled its members and found great interest in such an effort. = This will be the second Special Issue dedicated to laser ranging (LR) = since the establishment of the ILRS in late 1998. We are soliciting high = quality papers that will cover the main areas of LR, from the = organization of the ILRS to engineering, operations, missions, data = analysis, research and scientific products relying on LR, and future = prospects. The scope of the contributed papers should cover scientific analyses and = research investigations using all types of measurements carried out for = Earth and planetary science and related disciplines, as well as aspects = of modeling of the data acquired by LR and interpretation of the = results. It is our hope that the SI will provide a forum to document the = level of interdisciplinary research being carried out with = ILRS-collected observations and derived products. If you wish to contribute a paper to the Special Issue on Laser Ranging, = please submit the tentative title, author list, and short abstract of = your proposed contribution to the guest editors by March 31, 2011. The = authors of the accepted manuscripts will receive a notification shortly = after this deadline with instructions on how to submit their full = manuscript to JoG through the Editorial Manager = (http://www.editorialmanager.com/joge) until June 30, 2011, for = peer-review. It should be emphasized that the contributions will go = through the same critical review process as any other JoG paper. Papers = should be focused on special topics and duplications of the main issues = have to be avoided. If manuscripts for more than the available journal = pages are accepted, we reserve the right to restrict the volume of the = Special Issue to the most central papers and shift any others to regular = issues of JoG. The final decision of publication remains, as always, = with the Editor-in-Chief of JoG. =20 Yours sincerely Erricos C.
