Writing an Insight Article for the AGI

The AGI provides industry thought leadership and Insight through a number of streams – from events, to in-depth reviews such as the Foresight Report and articles for members.

We are particularly keen to encourage professionals provide their personal insight into current issues which are impacting on Geographic Information and the opportunities for the industry to respond to this.

We value and appreciate the input that your views will have to help us continue our mission and support our members. Your article will be seen by over 2000 geospatial professionals in the UK and overseas and promoted across a range of outlets – to both AGI members and non-members alike.

Insight articles should provide a thought-provoking window into your area of work and some personal reflection based on your expertise.

Although not prescriptive, here are some recommendations for writing an article:

• Aim to entertain, provide insight and challenge the reader with your thoughts.
• Tackle current issues in your area of expertise.
• Think how your topic might be influenced by or influence the geospatial sector.
• Try not to use jargon but aim to appeal to the general reader - AGI members work in a variety of different industries and come from many backgrounds.
• Don’t overtly mention or promote commercial products.
• Articles should be around 500 words in length.
• Provide a short biography of yourself and a photograph - these will be included with the article.

We hope you will be able to contribute and we look forward to hearing from you.
