We at the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) launched a new open access e-journal called Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS) in October 2013. As its name suggests, the purpose of this journal is to publish papers that present new discoveries, ideas and unifying concepts in the various fields of earth and planetary sciences (space and planetary sciences, atmospheric and hydrospheric sciences, human geosciences, solid earth sciences, and biogeosciences). In addition to normal research papers and review articles we would also like to publish material based on the best presentations given at the JpGU Annual meetings, and we have asked and will ask session conveners from the meetings to recommend those presentations that they consider to be the most scientifically interesting.Because PEPS is an open access journal, the following benefits can be provided to authors: - All articles published by PEPS are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. - Authors of articles published in PEPS are the copyright holders of their articles and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate the article.The authors will benefit from the e-journal as follows:- No restrictions or limitations for pages, figures, tables, or additional files to enrich the content, including videos, animations, and large original data files.- No cost for color figures/pictures.- Fast publication?generally papers/articles can be published 3?4 months earlier in e-journals than in standard print publications.By taking these advantages, we intend to make PEPS a top-level international journal, and therefore all submitted papers (including invited papers) will go through a full peer review process. In order to publish high level research papers and review articles, we have organized a strong editorial board composed exclusively of active scientists and asked them to ensure that the refereeing process is strict as well as fair.The PEPS editorial team works and will work hard for PEPS. However success of this journal relies primarily on whether JpGU members submit many high quality manuscripts or not. We earnestly wait for your submission to PEPS.
