I used GeoListPlot to generate a beautiful map and included it in a paper I submitted to a journal. I cited the link http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/ in my paper as the source, but the journal editor has asked me to cite the source in the figure's caption according to Wolfram Mathematica's terms of use (http://www.wolfram.com/legal/agreements/wolfram-mathematica.html).

Please tell me where is the world map from.

    This question on referencing Wolfram resources (Form of citation for data via Wolfram Mathematica), while not conclusive, might be of some use. – TransferOrbit Jun 17 '17 at 08:06

    If you are asking in multiple places please mention this and link question to prevent effort duplication. – Kuba Jun 17 '17 at 10:41

    99% sure the data is sourced from Open Street Maps – Mike Honeychurch Jun 18 '17 at 08:50

    "but the journal editor has asked me to cite the source in the figure's caption according to Wolfram Mathematica's terms of use" <- Don't the terms of use just tell you to cite Mathematica itself? I am not saying that you shouldn't find out where Mathematica took the data from, but I do not see how this would be required by the terms of use. – Szabolcs Aug 09 '17 at 08:58
  • So, you should contact Wolfram Technical Support (support@wolfram.com) and ask them to get an official answer. @Mike Honeychurch is correct that some mapping capabilities come from Open Street Maps which (as far as I understand does not constitute legal advice of any kind) requires you to cite them in your work. – Searke Aug 09 '17 at 15:28

    FWIW In[16]:= Options[GeoListPlot[Here], MetaInformation] Out[16]= {MetaInformation -> {"Software" -> "Wolfram Language", "TileSources" -> "Wolfram Knowledgebase with data from OpenStreetMap"}} – Greg Hurst Aug 09 '17 at 16:29
