Despite of its relevance as a tool for scientific communication in Geo-sciences, maps are generally regarded as a secondary product in peer reviewed journals. This limitation may be due to format and cost limitations of printed publications. Advances in cybercartography and geoinformatics extends the online capabilities of cartography, allowing 1) fluid visualization of very high resolution maps 2) easy interaction with the underlying data 3) appropriate interaction with multimedia resources such as graphs, videos and 3Dvisualizations, and 4) remote access to geo-scientific data collections. We present here an innovative design and implementation of an interactive peer reviewed journal of maps which includes the referred capabilities.
