376 citations recorded by the source corpus.

It is 20 years since the term "geographic information science" was suggested to encompass the set of fundamental research issues that surround GIS. Two decades of GIScience have produced a range of accomplishments, in an expanding literature of research results as well as in the infrastructure of research. Several themes are suggested for future research, based both on gaps in what has been accomplished thus far, and on technology trends that will themselves raise research questions.

• Location based services: ongoing evolution and research agenda (2018, background): “In other words, is there a LBScience for LBS, like Geographic Information Science (GIScience) (Michael F. Goodchild 1992; 2010) for geographic information systems (GIS)?”
• The convergence of GIS and social media: challenges for GIScience (2011, background): “In the context of location-based social networking and media, GIS will involve much more real-time situation monitoring and assessment and will need new kinds of tools that treat information as continually changing (Goodchild 2010).”
