Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (JSWSC) is an international multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal which publishes papers on all aspects of space weather and space climate from a broad range of scientific and technical fields including solar and heliospheric physics, magnetospheric and ionospheric physics, space plasma physics, aeronomy, planetology, radio science, geophysics, biology, medicine, astronautics, aeronautics, electrical engineering, meteorology, climatology, economy, informatics… JSWSC publishes regular research articles, technical articles, outreach articles, invited topical research and review articles.

JSWSC adopts three generic criteria to evaluate the submitted manuscripts: quality, relevance and overall interest to the space weather and space climate communities.

Manuscripts must adhere to the quality standards of international scientific journals and are reviewed by at least two external reviewers.

It is required that all manuscripts submitted for publication in JSWSC contain enough new insight; present the results against a properly referenced background of existing work; present adequate evidence that supports the conclusions.

All manuscripts must be written clearly, concisely and comprehensively and include all necessary and appropriate figures and tables but not more.

Only manuscripts which are not concurrently submitted to or under review by another journal can be considered for publication in JSWSC.
