Abstract

This book originates from observations that whilst an increasing body of scholars and students are using geographical information and computing technologies (geo-ICT) across a widening range of academic disciplines, there is relatively little systematic knowledge about the way in which these technologies are being used or the impact that the adoption of geo-ICT is making on each discipline. In this introductory chapter, we set the scene by explaining our definition of geo-ICT and acknowledging the increasing importance of spatial concepts in scientific research. Thereafter, we review how scientific practice changes over time before explaining the structure of the book and outlining the key questions that contributors were asked to address which underline the two main aims of the book: to increase knowledge of the current use of Geo-ICT in scientific research and to come up with (methodological) strategies to promote more effective use of geo-ICT in the future.
