Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access electric journal published by the Japan Geoscience Union in partnership with Springer. It was launched in October 2013. Our first paper was published in April 2014 and by the end of the year 2016 we had published 113 scientific articles. During that period, the articles published in PEPS were cited approximately 400 times. PEPS is developing smoothly and becoming one of the leading journals in the field of earth and planetary science.
Last year, we established a new category, “Data Paper”. Data papers in PEPS aims to preserve detailed raw research data and metadata (from experiments, numerical simulations etc.) and make these freely available to the research community for further analysis. Generally, review papers as well as original research articles are only allowed to include data (and metadata) which are directly relevant to the topics being discussed. In contrast, no such restriction is not applied to data papers and they may include data which was neither used in any subsequent research nor discussed in any published papers.
New strategy for 2017-2018 is in preparation and will be introduced in the JpGU meeting 2017.
