In other news:

Starting to keep a list of suggestions for articles, interviews, tutorials , etc.

Peter Chi, editor of the SPA News, pointed to the Wiley online library subscription service specially noting the Space Weather Journal. Thanks for the "shout out" Peter! To ensure folks remain aware of the need to subscribe, we will add a "notes to the editor" page to remind future editors to post subscription information to the newsletters at least once/twice a year.

Bob Robinson has contributed to a "history" page .  Please take a look and consider what history you may be able to add.  We'll want this material for our "Space Weather Journal First Solar Cycle" celebration.

Article in the Politico re consequences of EMP and magnetic storms.  Thanks Lou for the alert.

AGU home page featured the news release for the very interesting lunar dust and radiation paper that was recently published in Space Weather.

h2. List of items this group is tracking:
{bgcolor}

...

  • Longer-term issues:
    • Explore/expand partnerships: AMS, AIAA, etc.
    • How to assess the full "impact" of the journal, when the access/citation stats don't tell the full story.
    • What is the desired balance between pursue "sponsored" support for the journal or quarterly or both?

h2. Summary of points made in various emails/notes:
{bgcolor}

...

  • Questions (summarized from emails and meeting notes):
    • What should the business model for the Space Weather Journal be?  Should move to open access with author fee? How can the commentary pieces be supported under that model? 
    • Is there a need for editorial scope change?  How can we better enforce the distinctions to the science research journals such as Radio Science and JGR Space Physics?
    • How should the Quarterly evolve? Should the content expand to highlight related content published in other journals?
    • Is a separate composition/production stream necessary for the Quarterly?  Can we use the production stream created for the new virtual journals to streamline production and enable electronic access? 
    • How to best balance the business model for the quarterly?  What should be the proportion of print versus electronic access?  Should we renew sponsored development and printing?  How do the necessary writing professionals get their support?
    • During this time of transition, how can we best support a continuous stream of the highest quality space weather research papers AND the important news that our stakeholders need to have presented to them? Can we put some attention on the journal/quarterly to better aid the editors in meeting the current production schedule and to smoothly transition into a new production environment?

Space Weather Journal

Space Weather Quarterly


This is a technical journal with impact factor: 1.37.
2012 ISI Journal Citation Reports Rankings: 34/56 (Astronomy & Astrophysics); 43/76 (Geochemistry & Geophysics); 46/74 (Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences)
 


This is a technical magazine,
which was part of the AGU News Division?
now part of Publications division?

The two publications serve both the scientific and the applications-oriented, “above the atmosphere” (particularly space physics and aeronomy, and planetary), membership of the AGU as well as engineers and related professionals who may not join AGU because of its scientific focus.
