[U12-P01] Earth, Planets and Space: its status in 2023

EPS (Earth, Planets and Space) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published on behalf of five societies; 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, all of which are society members of the Japan Geoscience Union. EPS covers a broad area in earth and planetary sciences with particular foci on geomagnetism, aeronomy, space science, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetary science.
Since 2014, EPS has been published as an open access journal under the SpringerOpen platform. About half of the Editorial Board members are from outside Japan and more than half of the submissions are from overseas. The 2-year impact factor (IF) of EPS is 3.362 and the 5-year IF is 3.442 as of 2022.
EPS publishes the following article types: (1) "Full paper", (2) “Express Letter” which aims at fast publications, (3) “Frontier Letter” for leading-edge research only with the invitation from the editor-in-chief, and (4) “Technical report" which describes technical developments for scientific researches. In addition to regular publication, EPS promotes topical article collections called special issues about various geoscientific events (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions) or scientific missions (satellite missions). For example, recently published special issues deal with recent advances in scientific application of GNSS array data, VLF/ELF remote sensing of Ionospheres and magnetospheres, and earthquakes and tsunami hazards in the Sea of Japan.
As part of the promotion of the journal we have two annual awards to recognize authors and reviewers: (1) EPS Excellent paper awards, (2) EPS Young researcher award, in addition to the annual highlighted papers.
Recently we have been trying to increase the publication speed. On average, it takes 42 days for the first decision. We are trying to promote EPS as an important scientific contribution from Japan to the global geoscience community. We expect to receive more submissions of important science results from JpGU members.
