Since published journal articles are good indicators of contemporary research interests, this paper aims to analyze cartography-related papers published in Taiwan's academic journals between 1990 and 2002. The analysis is based on the traditional cartographic classification scheme, and articles are retrieved through internet keyword search, journal name, publication time and type of cartography for each article are recorded, and statistics analysis are conducted to deduce development of cartography in Taiwan. Generally speaking, cartography related paper increases over the years, but with some fluctuation, mainly influenced by the publication of the Journal of Cartography. The number of cartography-related paper published in 1997 reached its maximum, among half of them were included in the Journal of Cartography. In terms of cartography classification, the number of papers on traditional mapping has been steady, while those on computer mapping and GIS mapping are increasing. In terms of journal content, traditional mapping and GIS mapping dominate cartographic journals, followed by GIS mapping and cartographic education, and only very few concerning historical mapping. Articles concerning historical mapping also show an increasing trend, but they are mainly published in history or culture-related journals.
