Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate

The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (JSWSC) is an international multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed gold open access journal that publishes papers on all aspects of space weather and space climate in the solar system and beyond. JSWSC welcomes high-quality manuscripts from a broad range of scientific and technical fields of interest to the space weather and space climate communities.

JSWSC publishes research articles, technical articles, scientific reviews, papers on education and public outreach, historical events and observations, strategic and programmatic articles, and project reports.

JSWSC is currently seeking a new Editor-in-Chief to succeed one of its two current Editors-in-Chief (EiCs), please read more here.
