Resumo

Publication Delay Time (PDT) is an important factor when publishing a research result. To measure publication lag we investigated most published journals on GIScience according to the publication record of National Institute for Space Research Remote Sensing postgraduate course from January 2013 to June 2018. Metrics such as: PDT, Time of Acceptance (TA), Impact Factor (JCR), CAPES Qualis and Open Access Fee were evaluated for 20 most published GIS journals. The average values of TA and PDT for GIScience papers were 185 days and 240 days, respectively. The most published journals were Revista Brasileira de Cartografia, Remote Sensing and International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. Most Brazilian journals had no publication fees, but also had longer PDT values. Inconsistencies were found comparing JCR and CAPES Qualis, concluding that GIS journals are usually underrated by CAPES, prejudicing the evaluation of Remote Sensing courses in Brazil.
