AOI Maps addresses a common gap in academic research: study-area maps are essential, yet often unclear, inconsistent with journal standards, or time-consuming to prepare. While journals provide general figure guidelines, researchers are typically left to translate these into effective maps.

Our publisher-safe templates are designed to improve publication-readiness, with particular gains in study-area emphasis, label legibility, grayscale performance, and reduction of visual clutter. The focus is not on aesthetics alone, but on clarity and consistency.

AOI Maps functions as a specialized production-polishing service for spatial figures, helping researchers communicate spatial context more effectively.
