摘要：

【目的】 建立并形成一套可操作性强,适合科技期刊编辑部直接使用的地图内容核查方法及流程。【方法】 鉴于地图通过图形符号(面、线、点)的视觉变量(形状、尺寸和颜色等)反映事物现象的本质和规律,通过“地图符号”这个统一的语言,将地图审核的重点核查内容与地图要素(面、线、点)的视觉变量(形状、尺寸、颜色和名称)进行关联映射。【结果】 优化并规范期刊编辑部内审(初审)地图内容的流程,提出一种基于面、线、点要素,按形状、大小、颜色和名称(注记)进行有序核查的地图内容核查方法。【结论】 该方法为期刊编辑特别是非地学类期刊编辑快速、全面、有效地完成地图内容初审核查提供参考。

Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to develop an operational method and process for map content verification suitable for direct utilization in the editorial offices of scientific journals. [Methods] Maps reflect the essence and regularity of phenomena by graphic visual variables (shape, size, color, etc.) of map symbols (areas, lines, and points). Based on this principle, this paper establishes correlation mapping between the key verification content specified in the map review and the visual variables (shape, size, color, and names) of map elements (areas, lines, and points) using the unified language of "map symbols". [Findings] The process for internal review (preliminary review) of map content in the editorial offices of journals is optimized and standardized. Based on elements of areas, lines, and points, a systematic map content verification method is proposed. The verification is conducted in an orderly manner according to the shape, size, color, and names (annotations). [Conclusions] This method provides a reference for journal editors, especially those in non-geographical fields, to rapidly, comprehensively, and effectively conduct preliminary map content reviews.
