“…The first step was to select appropriate scientific journals for the analysis. The selection was based on two previous studies where comprehensive lists of GIScience and geography journals were evaluated (Caron, Roche, Goyer, & Jaton, 2008; Rohli & Liu, 2008). Individuals’ crime- or health-related information is considered confidential or sensitive information, and therefore, crime-related, medical, and health geography–related journals were additionally selected.…”

We examined published maps containing sensitive data, and the protection methods, if any, that were used. We investigated whether the many published warnings about disclosure risk have been effective in reducing privacy risk. During an 8-year period (2005-2012), 19 journals related to GIScience, geography, spatial crime analysis, and health geography were examined. We identified 41 articles that display actual confidential information and 16 articles where confidential information is protected by the use of a geographical mask. During the investigated time frame, the numbers of articles with unmasked confidential data increased, and in total more than 68,000 home addresses were disclosed. One of the more significant findings of this study is that efforts to instill sensitivity to location privacy and disclosure risk have been relatively unsuccessful.

“…Surprisingly, little attention has been paid to studying the structure and evolution of the GIS research community. Recent years have seen a small number of studies to fill this knowledge gap utilizing citations among GIS journals (Rohli and Liu , Quiring ) or co‐authorships among GIS researchers (Fisher , Sun and Manson ). Although these studies are informative, none of them has focused on the organization of the GIS research community.…”

The research community of Geographic Information Systems and Science (GIS) has been growing rapidly during the last two decades. Little attention has been paid to understanding its geography, structure and evolution. Taking a new organizational perspective, this article aims to fill the knowledge gap by analyzing collaboration and citation networks between GIS research organizations, including academic institutions, government agencies, businesses, and others. These two networks are analyzed in geographical and bibliographical spaces, respectively, to discover characteristic distributions and structures. The results show an uneven geographic distribution of GIS research organizations, and clustered spatial interactions between them. Both collaboration and citation networks exhibit typical "scale-free" structures, which came into being around the year 2000 and have remained to the present. Further, the GIS research community is composed of 11 cohesive sub-groups, with each having a clear hub-spoke structure and a few highly connected organizations as leaders. These results shed light on the overall picture of the GIS research community, and offer a reference system that stimulates further exploration.

“…Furthermore, this error varies across research fields. As geography encompasses such a wide range of subdisciplines, it is especially vulnerable to the vagaries of bibliometrics (Ferguson, 2003;Johnston, 2008;Levia and Underwood, 2004;Rohli and Liu, 2008;Yeung, 2002).…”
