Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to submit a research paper to “OpenStreetMap
as a multi-disciplinary nexus: Perspectives, Practices and Procedures
<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/special_issues/OpenStreetMap>”, a
Special Issue of the *ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information*. The
aim of this Special Issue is to showcase both the ongoing innovation and
the maturity of scientific investigations and research into OpenStreetMap,
demonstrating how, as a research object, it converges multiple research
areas together. Collecting contributions from multiple disciplines and
domains, the Special Issue will show how the sum total of investigations of
issues like VGI, geo-information, and geo-digital processes and
representations can shed light on the relations between crowds, real-world
applications, technological developments, and scientific research.

This Special Issue is primarily aimed at collecting papers that extend the
research works presented in the Academic Track
<https://2019.stateofthemap.org/academic_programme/> of State of the Map
2019 <https://2019.stateofthemap.org/>, held in Heidelberg (Germany) on
September 21–23, 2019. However, other original submissions aligned with the
area of research are also highly welcome.

We expect empirical, methodological, or conceptual contributions addressing
any scientific aspect related to OpenStreetMap, in particular, but not
limited, to the following:

   - Extrinsic and intrinsic quality assessment of OpenStreetMap data
   - Analysis of contribution patterns in OpenStreetMap
   - Interactions between OpenStreetMap and other data sources
   - Analysis/comparison of available software for scientific purposes
   related to OpenStreetMap
   - New approaches to facilitate or improve data collection in
   OpenStreetMap (e.g., through gamification or citizen science approaches)
   - Bridging the communities: Creating better connections and
   collaborations between the scientific community and the OpenStreetMap
   community
   - Open research problems in OpenStreetMap and challenges for the
   scientific community
   - Cultural, political, and organizational aspects of data production and
   usage practices in OpenStreetMap
   - Literature reviews and theoretical papers on any of the listed topics
   or topics related to the scope of the Special Issue
