Special issue information

In response to the request by governments around the world for research expertise to provide expert insights relating to both Coronavirus and its impacts, the International Journal of Remote Sensing is inviting new contributions relating to COVID-19 in which remote sensing has played a role. Such areas may include agriculture and farming, civil contingency planning and management, climate change, countryside, education - higher and further, education – schools, emergency planning, emergency services, energy, environment, health economics, health services, ports and maritime, surveillance, transport, waste, and water.

Taylor & Francis is working to prioritise the peer review of all relevant research. Authors are also encouraged to publish and share the data that forms the basis of their research in line with FAIR data principles, and our own data policies.

Taylor & Francis is supporting researchers, journals and funders to ensure that all research findings and data relevant to COVID-19 are shared rapidly to inform the public health response and ultimately help save lives. We have centralised access to relevant Taylor & Francis journal articles and book chapters through www.taylorandfrancis.com/coronavirus.
