Launched in 2008,the International Journal of Digital Earth(IJDE)–an official journal of the International Society for Digital Earth–will enter its 15th year in 2022.In the years since its launch,authors,readers and reviewers,as well as the editorial board and editors of the journal,have witnessed the IJDE go from strength to strength.The IJDE was first indexed by the SCIE 18 months after its launch and has since improved its ranking in the Journal Citation Report’s Impact Factor List.The journal has also progressed from quarterly to bimonthly and then monthly publication.All of this demonstrates how the IJDE has steadily progressed to become a high-standard publication with an international reputation that has been indexed by 14 international indexing databases.Each step in the IJDE’s development can be attributed to the high quality of the published papers,as well as to contributions of reviewers and the support of readers.
