Publications Manager and Series Editor: Dr. J.M. Rüeger

The School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems publishes two types of reports:

UNISURV S(pecial) Series
In this series, the School publishes theses (mainly PhD and Master by Research theses) and specialised scientific reports (soft cover, 297 x 210 mm, format A4). (As an exeption, one set of conference proceedings was published as UNISURV Report S11.) The first UNISURV S-Series issue (S1) was published in 1968 as UNISURV Rep. 5. The first UNISURV S-Series issue published as such was the UNISURV Rep. S7 in 1971.

MONOGRAPH Series
In this series, the School publishes textbooks and conference proceedings (soft cover, typically 250 x 177 mm, some early ones in format A4). The first proceedings were those of the conference on "Control for Mapping by Geodetic and Photogrammetric Methods" of May 1967 (Monograph 00). The first textbook was published in January 1970 as Monograph No. 1 and is still in print.

A third series, UNISURV G(eneral), started whilst surveying was still a department of the School of Civil Engineering at UNSW. UNISURV G1 (June 1963) was originally published as UNICIV Report D-1. From 1968, all reports of the School were published as UNISURV Reports. The split into S- and G-Series became effective in June 1972 (with UNISURV Report G17). From June 1979 (No. 30), the UNISURV G-Series appeared under the name "Australian Journal of Geodesy, Photogrammetry & Surveying" (ISSN 0313 9220). The School continued this series until December 1987 (No. 47). From No. 48 (June 1988), the journal was published by the The Institution of Surveyors, Australia (ISSN 0159 8910). Since June 1995 (No. 62) The Institution of Surveyors, Australia, publishes the journal under the title "Geomatics Research Australia" (No. 62 ISSN 0159-8910, Nos. 63+ ISSN 1324-9983). In 2004, the publication of the journal was transferred to the Spatial Sciences Institute (SSI). However, the last issue was published in 2005, superseded by the "Journal of Spatial Science".
