pGU has launched a new journal "Progress in Earth and Planetary Science" (PEPS) in January, 2014. JSPS and MEXT request Japanese academic societies to promote the transmission of the results of scientific research to overseas and to produce higher level of the circulation by open access e-journal in near future. In addition to PEPS, academic societies supporting JPGU also promote academic publishing through their journals supported by JSPS and MEXT. This session will discuss business model of open access e-journal, its real situation, future perspective of the scientific publication and its influence on the earth and planetary researches.
