“…However, she acknowledges that, though Woodward's thinking influenced her entire project, she only utilized portions of his framework (Pulsipher 1987, 421). A broad survey of cartographic literature, including review articles by Mark Monmonier (2007), and by Michael Finn and Diana Thunen (2013), failed to locate other scholars who have used Woodward's model to structure their research. So, why the limited application of his framework?…”

Perhaps you've heard our organization described as "NACIS is nicest," a reflection of the welcoming and inclusive nature of this community of map enthusiasts. I'd like to extend this idea to supporters of Cartographic Perspectives with the adage, "it's nice to share," as this attitude permeates our publication process. Examples include the willingness of individuals to step up to serve as reviewers, the open-access nature of our journal, the interchange of opinions and ideas, and the ease with which content is made available within and outside of our publication. Amy Griffin, the new Co-Editor of our journal, is a stellar example of this spirit. Amy is a well-respected cartographic researcher and instructor, a long-time NACIS participant, and the driving force behind the NACIS Annual Meeting in Minneapolis last October. When I recently took on new responsibilities at my university that caused me concern for keeping CP my top priority, I knew I needed to share the editorial responsibilities. Amy was kind enough to join me through the end of 2016, at which time I will step down as scheduled and she will begin a three-year term as Editor.The timely and accessible sharing of ideas is central to our distinction of being the only fully open-access journal of cartography in the world. Amy and I are committed to recruiting, posting, and publishing accepted materials in an efficient manner, with individual articles published to the website very quickly after they are accepted. In this pursuit, we are happy to share responsibilities with a dedicated a team of Section Editors:

Using the Right Tool: David Woodward's Suggested Framework and the Study of Military Cartography

In 1974 David Woodward suggested a framework for organizing the study of the history of cartography that unified on one hand the process and the output of cartographic production, and on the other hand the four sequential phases of cartographic production, from information gathering through document use. In a survey of scholars who have cited Woodward’s model I note that, while this framework has influenced the conceptual development of map history, it has rarely been applied rigorously to specific instances of mapping. I argue that this model is an underutilized tool in cartographic scholarship, and that Woodward’s matrix is ideally suited to examining how military units carry out mapping. Because military units, particularly large ones, are in effect self-contained systems that cyclically produce, use, and reproduce their own maps, I contend that scholars can modify Woodward’s original model in content, though not in structure, to study military mapping activities. To illustrate this point, I present as a case study the British military’s Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) during the Gaza Campaign of late 1917. This force performed a broad range of mapping activity, much of it innovative. A modification of the Woodward framework that brings together the specific elements of the EEF’s information gatherers, information processors, and map users into a single cohesive cartographic system illustrates the value and utility of this framework for studying the history of military cartography.
