Review of information currently in circulation: Value to Community: - premier journal for space weather
- quarterly is able to communicate ideas to people with limited science background
- the journal is the only society sponsored publication for operational space weather research
Primary Challenges identified: - Access statistics appear low; one of least access AGU journals
- Cost, including the quarterly, is high relative to other journals
Contributing Challenges identified: - scientists in the field perhaps either do not have the time to publish the applications of their research or it's not a priority.
- the quarterly somewhat over-shadows the journal, a casual poll reveals that many aren't aware that there are two distinct, but linked publications
-
Values to Preserve: - increase the number and citation rate of high quality research papers in the journal
- printed version of quarterly to funding stakeholders
- wide circulation of quarterly in some form as broad communication tool for space weather research
Initiatives Suggested: - increase the number of reviews among the journal papers
- work with other editors to encourage redirection of appropriate research papers to SWJ.

Notes on Value to Community: |

The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (SWSC) 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 physics, space plasma physics, aeronomy, planetology, radio science, geophysics, biology, medicine, astronautics, aeronautics, electrical engineering, meteorology, climatology, mathematics, economy, informatics. An online, open access electronic journal published by EDP Sciences, Les Ulis Cedex, France. Five paper and an editorial were published in 2011; 22 papers were published in 2012; and 30 papers and an editorial have been published thus far in 2013.
One person suggested that if the Space Weather Journal was no longer available or combined so as to diffuse its identity, then JSWSC would become their journal of choice for operational space weather articles.
