Earth, Planets and Space (EPS) is an academic journal published by the following five societies; The Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences, The Seismological Society of Japan, The Volcanological Society of Japan, The Geodetic Society of Japan, and The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences. The publication of EPS started in 1998 as continuations of the Journal of Geomagnetism and Geoelectricity and the Journal of Physics of the Earth. EPS is accepting scientific articles in the earth and planetary sciences covered by the five societies, in particular, geomagnetism, aeronomy, space science, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetology. The 5-year publication project proposal on EPS to Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results was accepted and open access publication has started from Jan. 2014. EPS is going to strengthen its international scholarly communication prioritizing letters, and will start publishing in cooperation with Japan Geosciences Union from Jan. 2016. Renovations of EPS including change of publishers and business model transition into open access carried out in FY2013 and the future perspectives will be presented.
