NEWS

Neuer InhaltPEPS promotes Review Articles which may serve as useful contents of summaries of the newest developments in the wide fields of Earth and Planetary Science.  

We have released the 4th edition of a collection of abstracts of the published PEPS Review Articles.

We hope you will walk through this collection and find useful for your research interest.
 

Impact Factor 2022

We are pleased to announce that PEPS has now received new Impact Factor (IF2022) of 3.9(3.934) -up from last year's 3.875- and 5year Impact Factor of 4.1(up from last year's 3.841). In addition, CiteScore has increased from 6.4 to 7.0. Together with other metrics, such as the number of downloads, this achievement shows the community appreciation towards the journal. We would like to thank everyone for contributing to this progress and for supporting us in our mission to play a major role for the future of geosciences. Also, we welcome your paper submission that contribute to the advancement of Earth and planetary science.

Aims and scope

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS), a peer-reviewed open access e-journal, was launched by the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) in 2014. This international journal is devoted to high-quality original articles, reviews and papers with full data attached in the research fields of space and planetary sciences, atmospheric and hydrospheric sciences, human geosciences, solid earth sciences, and biogeosciences. 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.
