PEPS is a peer-reviewed open-access e-journal of the Japan Geoscience Union(JpGU), published in collaboration with its 51 society members, and deals with scientific articles in the earth and planetary sciences. PEPS was launched in 2014.


   PEPS publishes papers in each of the six JpGU science sections:
                                                                       
  -Space and Planetary
   Sciences  　
   -Atmospheric and
     Hydrospheric Sciences
   -Human Geosciences
   -Solid Earth Sciences
   -Biogeosciences
   -Interdisciplinary research 
(research which covers two or more of the other five science sections)

Recently, there has been an increase in submitting papers for the interdisciplinary research section across multiple research fields, centering on studying natural hazards.
   PEPS is devoted to high-quality original articles, ”reviews” and ”papers with full data attached”.
PEPS encourages papers with full data attached: papers with full data attached are scientific articles that preserve the full detailed raw research data and metadata which were gathered in their preparation and make these data freely available to the research community for further analysis. 

 PEPS promotes excellent review articles and welcomes   articles with electronic attachments including videos,   animations, and large original data files.

 About 20% of our articles are review articles that provide a   systematic summary of the newest developments in their     cover.
Now, the collection of review abstracts have been completed.

  SPEPS is an open-type special issue that Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS) provides aiming to publish presentations delivered at the Japan Geoscience Union Annual Meetings, international symposiums, and the results of research projects etc.
We are also looking for new SPEPS proposals.

Please consider SPEPS collections as an effective method to make public session presentations at JpGU Meeting 2021 or the results of research projects.
