Language and Scope

Manuscripts may be submitted by authors from any country, but must be written in English. The conference welcomes theoretical, empirical, and applied contributions from geography and closely related disciplines, provided that the geographical perspective and spatial analytical framework are clearly articulated.

All submitted papers are subject to double-blind peer review by at least two independent referees. Papers will be evaluated and classified into one of the following categories:

  • Original scientific papers
  • Preliminary communications
  • Review papers
  • Applied or methodological papers

Manuscripts that do not receive a positive evaluation from the referees will not be accepted for publication in the GEO³ Conference 2025 proceedings.

Manuscript Preparation

General Requirements

Manuscripts (including tables, figures, and references) must be prepared using Microsoft Word (*.doc or .docx). The total length of the manuscript must not exceed 15 pages, prepared in accordance with the formatting instructions provided below.

    Each paper must begin with an abstract of 100–150 words. The abstract should clearly state:
    • the research purpose
    • the methodological approach
    • the main findings

The abstract must be intelligible as a standalone text. Non-standard abbreviations should be avoided or defined at first mention.

  1. Keywords
    Immediately after the abstract, provide up to six keywords. Keywords should be specific, discipline-relevant, and suitable for indexing. Avoid general terms, plural forms, and combinations using words such as and or of. Only well-established abbreviations may be used.
