JpGU started Open Access e-journal of Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS). The purpose of this new journal is to strengthen international communication in the field of geo- and planetary-science, and in particular: 1) To establish a geoscience open access leading e-journal; 2) To publish the best presentations from the JpGU Annual Meeting and the high quality of articles from authors based anywhere in the world, both those concerning specific areas of research and general unifying concepts and 3) To work on this together with the JpGU member societies. Efforts for the Promotion of PEPS are 1) to receive the list of the best presentation recommended by the session conveners at the JpGU annual meeting for PEPS submission and 2) to provide travel support and submission fee to submit a review (overview)/high quality articles. We will have the JpGU Journal special international session as part of the JpGU Meeting 2014, the JpGU Journal special symposium (relevant to JpGU research activity), invitation of big scientists recommended by each Science Section in JpGU, and enhancement of communication of the latest information on current research activity (e.g., published) among JpGU members and others. We are developing new application software that will be used at JpGU annual meeting place and at home. Also special effort is required to make PEPS recognized as a leading international journal by many scientists abroad. We will put an advertisement in AGU, EGU, AOGS and others. Our policy for JpGU journal is to publish high quality of articles in order to contribute to geoscience community globally. We present the latest information about JpGU journal and discuss its future development in this session.
