The Cartographic Journal (first published in 1964) is an established peer reviewed journal of record and comment containing authoritative articles and international papers on all aspects of cartography, the science and technology of presenting, communicating and analysing spatial relationships by means of maps and other geographical representations of the Earth's surface. This includes coverage of related technologies where appropriate, for example, remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), the internet and global positioning systems. The Journal also publishes articles on social, political and historical aspects of cartography.

The Journal also includes an 'Observations' section, international cartographic news, recent book and software reviews, articles, conference material, 'Viewpoints' from notable figures from the world of cartography and a list of recent maps and atlases.

The readership encompasses: academics; cartographic technicians; cartographic producers and publishers; oil exploration companies; senior representatives of national mapping agencies; research and educational institutions; other professional bodies; software suppliers and users; librarians; designers and students.
