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 which are:

     - 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 increased in submitting papers for Interdisciplinary research section that across multiple research fields, centering on study of natural hazard.

PEPS is devoted to high-quality original articles, reviews and papers with full data attached. PEPS promotes excellent review articles and welcomes articles with electronic attachments including videos, animations, and large original data files. PEPS also 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.


About 20% of our articles are review articles which provide a systematic summary of the newest developments in the fields that they cover.
Now, we have released the 3rd edition of a collection of abstracts of the published PEPS Review Articles.
