JGR Space Physics is actively publishing new and original research in the broad
field of space science including aeronomy, magnetospheric physics, planetary
atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres, solar and interplanetary physics,
cosmic rays, and heliospheric physics. JGR Space Physics strives to remain the
leading journal in space sciences by publishing high-quality and novel
research, through a rigorous peer-review process and close interactions and
communications with space physics community members (authors, reviewers and readers).<span></span></span></p>

their applications on scientific topics within the scope of the journal, and
the results should be significant and provide scientific advances.<span></span></span></p>

describe important data sets and observations or novel analytical or
experimental methods that enable new science, as well as other technical
advances, including computer programs and should provide an example of a
relevant scientific application. The data set may refer to experimental
studies, lab measurements, modeling output, or observations. These papers are
limited to 13 publication units but it is not a strict requirement. <span></span></span></p>

Articles are invited or submitted papers that review and synthesize recent
literature on a given topic. The recommended length is 30 publication units

material. All review articles must be discussed with a journal editor before
submission.<span></span></span></p>

we have seen an increasing number of manuscripts submitted as Research Articles
that focus primarily on model development and presentation. We usually contact
the authors with a suggestion to change the paper type. If, for example, the abstract,
conclusions, and the key points state that a model was developed and applied to
specific events, or that it is better than existing models but scientific advances
are not clear, those manuscripts do not meet the standard of a Research Article.
We encourage authors to determine their manuscript type following the above
guidelines before submitting their manuscripts. Authors are always welcome to
ask when in doubt by sending an email to </span><a href="mailto:jgr-spacephysics@agu.org" style="color:rgb(70,120,134);text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">jgr-spacephysics@agu.org</span></a>.<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p>
