Abstract:   
IJGIS has been published continuously since 1987. The founding editors were J. Terry Coppock (Department of Geography, University of Edinburgh) and K. Eric Anderson (Eastern Mapping Center, U.S. Geological Survey). It was one of the first journals dedicated to exclusive publication of research articles in GIS (Geographical Information Systems) as it was emerging as a distinct field of study. 18 volumes of the International Journal of GIS have been published between years 1987 and 2004. These contained 635 research papers, covering 11087 pages. What is published in all research papers of the International Journal of GIS? The research begins with a short overview and introduction of the International Journal of GIS itself. The content of 18 volumes of IJGIS journal is presented, including a general overview and the geographic origin of the authors and the research. The developments of issues and subjects concerning Geographical Information Science between years 1987 and 2004 are described.
