PICO
To mark this milestone for the EGU publications and IOAP, the session showcases the full EGU publishing portfolio: EGUsphere, all EGU journals, and additional publications such as EGU Letters and the Encyclopedia of Geosciences and particular features of EGU’s transparent, community-driven and not-for-profit publishing approach.
All current and prospective authors, referees and editors are invited to join this celebration, meet the EGU Executive/Chief editors, explore the EGU publications and discover how to get involved in shaping the future of the EGU publications.
The journey of IOAP began in 2001, when Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics was launched as the first journal to apply the interactive open access publishing model. Now adopted across all EGU/Copernicus journals, the multi-stage publishing approach combines public peer review with transparent interactive discussion, encouraging participation of the scientific community in the evaluation of preprints prior to final journal publication. The multiple stages consist of EGUsphere, EGU’s interactive community platform for the discussion of preprints, that is seamlessly integrated into the editorial journal workflow. EGU Letters represent a third stage, where particularly outstanding journal papers are selected to receive additional scientific recognition following rigorous review.
Since then, more than 50,000 journal articles and 60,000 preprints were published, accompanied by over 250,000 comments from authors, referees, editors and other members of the scientific community. This transparent process strengthens scientific quality control and helps reduce the risks of bias, fraud, and plagiarism in scholarly publishing. This session recognizes these achievements as part of EGU’s ongoing efforts to advance open, transparent, and community-driven publishing.
Interactive open access publishing has been applied in our journals since 2001 and is ever since applied in all 20 EGU journals. The two-stage publication process combines rapid, open dissemination of scientific results with a transparent and interactive peer-review process that is conducted on EGU’s preprint repository and community platform EGUsphere. All contributions to the scientific discussion by authors, editors, peer reviewers and other members of the scientific community are public and fully citable (with DOI), ensuring transparency and recognition for all participants in the scientific discussion.
In the first stage, submissions are published promptly as openly accessible manuscripts during interactive discussion phase for several weeks. These preprints ensure immediate visibility, establish priority of discovery and allow new results to be shared without delay. In the second stage, authors revise their manuscripts in response to referee reports and community comments.
Despite its early introduction in 2001, interactive open access publishing remains rare in the geosciences and also in the wider scientific publishing landscape. Our experience shows that public discussion fosters constructive scientific exchange, improves manuscript quality, and strengthens accountability and trust in the review process, while maintaining rigorous editorial oversight. Reviewers receive recognition for their contributions, and readers gain direct insight into how scientific conclusions are evaluated and refined.
This session will highlight the benefits and advantages of EGU’s interactive publishing model compared to traditional peer review. All members of the scientific community, i.e., authors, editors, reviewers, and readers, are invited to contribute their perspectives and questions, helping to further develop our publishing system that is transparent, community-driven, and not-for-profit.

At the occasion of the 25-year anniversary of Interactive Open Access Publishing, the EGUsphere coordinators and the EGU editorial manager invite the EGU community to join an interactive presentation about EGUsphere’s past achievements and its vision for the future. Created in 2020 as a platform for conference material and preprints, EGUsphere continues EGU’s pioneering activities in terms of Interactive Open Access Publishing. EGUsphere hosts a diverse, inclusive, and systematic collection of contributions:
1) Conference material presented at EGU meetings can be publicly discussed by the scientific community beyond the meetings. All conference abstracts are fully citable with a unique digital object identifier (DOI) and can be amended by additional presentation material pertinent to EGU meetings (General Assembly, Plinius Conferences, Gallileo conferences).
2) EGUsphere allows for the submission and public discussion of preprints. Submission routes include (i) traditional preprints without peer review, (ii) preprints for potential publication in one of the EGU journals, and (iii) preprints posted on external servers that are eventually intended for journal publication upon peer review. This way, EGUsphere continues and expands the previous journal discussion forums that facilitated the interactive discussion between authors, referees and scientific community since 2001 to provide the transparency of the peer review process and rigorous quality control in scientific publishing.
Current and prospective authors, reviewers and editors will learn how to navigate the interactive public discussion phase on the platform.
Anyone interested in EGU’s transparent, community-driven and not-for-profit publication model, which has EGUsphere as an interactive platform, is welcome to join, ask questions, share ideas, explore ways to get involved at any career stage and help shape the platform’s future.

Do you perform measurements of gases, aerosols, clouds, or other components/properties of the atmosphere? Have you recently validated a method, developed a new technique or algorithm to analyse atmospheric measurements? Have you built or improved an instrument for atmospheric measurements? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes”, Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (AMT) is the journal for you.
Since the journal’s inception in 2008, numerous advances have been published in AMT. To name a few examples, the presentation of the widely used MODIS Collection 6 aerosol products (Levy et al., 2013) remains one of the top downloaded papers in AMT (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/6/2989/2013/). The description of a method for characterization of extreme fire plumes that aids fire research, while also supporting decision making (Ribau et al., 2025), is a recent highlight article that received numerous positive comments from the community (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/18/7805/2025/amt-18-7805-2025-discussion.html). And an innovative way of utilizing data from tall, ecosystem study-oriented atmospheric towers to monitor urban greenhouse gas emissions (Coimbra et al., 2024) is described in a highlight article that received particularly detailed and helpful reviews (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/17/6625/2024/amt-17-6625-2024-discussion.html). The article received one of the two 2024 AMT Best Article Awards; the other award went to the description of the calibration of long-term in situ H2 observations by Pétron and colleagues (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/17/4803/2024/).
AMT also features review articles on topics such as uncertainty estimation of observations of atmospheric composition (von Clarmann, 2020) (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/13/4393/2020/). Review articles from EGU journals are conveniently collected in the Encyclopedia of Geosciences (https://encyclopedia-of-geosciences.net/index.html).
In this PICO contribution, we will showcase some of the features and highlights of AMT and introduce the sizeable editorial board: for it is the dedication of our active community of (executive) editors, reviewers, authors and comment-posters, that enables the publication of about 400 high-quality papers on Atmospheric Measurement Techniques every year.

As part of the celebration of 25 years of interactive open access publishing at the EGU, the Co-Chief Editors of Biogeosciences invite the community to an interactive PICO presentation reflecting on the journal’s development, its scientific diversity, and its continuing role in advancing integrative Earth system science.
Founded in 2004, Biogeosciences is an open access EGU journal grounded in a transparent, community-driven peer-review process. The journal publishes research that brings together biological, chemical, and physical perspectives to improve understanding of Earth system functioning across terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, oceanic, and atmospheric environments. Key themes include biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem dynamics, microbial processes, land–ocean–atmosphere linkages, and Earth system feedbacks, drawing on approaches such as field and laboratory studies, numerical modelling, remote sensing, and data-integrative analyses. Biogeosciences publishes Research Articles, Letters, Reviews and Syntheses, Ideas and Perspectives, Technical Notes, and Comments, and actively supports community-driven Special Issues that foster scientific exchange across disciplines.
The PICO session will offer an opportunity to learn more about the Biogeosciences editorial workflow, including how interdisciplinary scope and scientific significance are evaluated and how authors and reviewers engage during the open public discussion phase on EGUsphere.
We warmly welcome researchers at all career stages who are interested in transparent, interdisciplinary, and not-for-profit publishing to join the conversation, share ideas, ask questions, and celebrate Biogeosciences as part of the EGU’s interactive open access community.

Since its launch in 2005, Climate of the Past (CP) has had four co-editors-in-chief, each representing one of the four main domains: Ocean, Ice, Continent, and Models. The co-editors-in-chief invite scientists to join the CP editorial board based on the evolution of submissions and turnover among editors. CP is a nonprofit, international, scientific journal dedicated to publishing and discussing research articles, short communications, and review papers on the climate history of Earth. CP covers all temporal scales of climate change and variability, from geological time to multidecadal studies of the past century. Studies focusing mainly on present and future climate are outside the scope of the journal.
Climate of the Past publishes special issues proposed by the scientific community following successful sessions at the EGU General Assembly, as well as those resulting from the activities of working groups, smaller meetings, and specific research projects. Lastly, CP publishes review papers from EGU medalists, not necessarily from the Climate division. These papers are accessible directly from the journal's main page (https://cp.copernicus.org/articles/special_issue24.html).
Because Climate of the Past recognizes the tremendous commitment of our editors and reviewers, we have created official certificates presented in person at the General Assembly during the Business Meeting of the Editorial Board and at the Climate Division Meetings, respectively. Climate of the Past actively participates in the yearly reviewer training organized by the EGU Publishing Committee.
In celebration of its 20th anniversary in 2025, the journal organized a webinar series on topics addressed by the journal (https://www.climate-of-the-past.net/about/egu_resources.html). The webinars were held monthly from June 2025 to April 2026. The webinars and their recordings are freely accessible to the community on the EGU YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYJjP6lVJvszFxShc6Imu0dOHV1tFtxly) and the CP front page.
Anyone interested in the CP organization, its working philosophy, the waiver process, or any other topic is welcome to attend the PICO presentation.

At the celebration of 25 years of innovative open-access publishing by EGU it is apposite to highlight and showcase the most recent journal to be added to the library of those managed and published by the learned society.
Launching a new journal is not be taken lightly and needs a sound justification and rationale. Here we outline the rationale, the gap in the market that it will fill, it’s scope and the opportunities it offers, not only to publish in, but also to get involved with in various different ways. We also provide an overview of the current editorial board structure and how we aim to have the requisite expertise to ensure the highest editorial and publication integrity.
The scope of the journal is broad covering all EO-related topics within the geosciences but also methodological and sensor advances that may not be specific to any particular discipline. In fact, most instruments and methods are agnostic to the target surface or medium being observed and we see this as one of the important roles of the journal within the existing EGU stable.
As the youngest of the journals, EO’s scope will evolve, as will the editorial board and it is likely that there are areas that will emerge over time, also including ones which members might have ideas about already. We welcome this opportunity to hear your questions, thoughts and ideas and any feedback on this new, exciting EGU initiative.
Anyone interested in EO and its applications is welcome to join, ask questions, share ideas, explore ways to get involved and help shape the journal’s future.

As the EGU journals celebrate the 25th year of interactive open access publication, the Executive Editors of Earth Surface Dynamics (ESurf) are pleased to welcome EGU participants to view our presentation about the highlights and direction of ESurf.
Started in 2013, ESurf was the first Open Access only Earth Surface Process based journal, the main subject areas of ESurf comprise field measurements, remote sensing, and experimental and numerical modelling of Earth surface processes, and their interactions with the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and pedosphere. ESurf prioritizes studies with general implications for Earth surface science and especially values contributions that straddle discipline boundaries, enhance theory–observation feedback, and/or apply basic principles from physics, chemistry, or biology.
We welcome (current or prospective!) authors, reviewers and editors to come and learn or ask questions about ESurf operation and chat to the editorial team. Together, we can address questions, share ideas, explore ways to get involved and help shape ESurf’s future.

The year 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of EGU’s Interactive Open Access Publishing. Founded in 2010, Earth System Dynamics (ESD) is a proud member of EGU’s journal family dedicated to studies that take an interdisciplinary perspective on the functioning of the Earth system and global change. This angle, which today has been embraced by a number of scientific publications, was far from common at the time ESD was started. The journal accepts both theoretical and applied investigations, and is open to both modelling and observational studies. Throughout the years, ESD has evolved to increasingly account for the human dimension of the Earth system, and regularly publishes studies of how humanity interacts with natural systems to modulate global change.
Today, ESD primarily publishes research articles, reviews articles, letters and perspectives on a broad range of topics related to the Earth system and global change. ESD additionally accepts ESD Ideas: concise submissions proposing innovative and well-founded scientific ideas that have not been comprehensively explored.
We invite current and prospective authors, reviewers and editors to join this presentation and learn more about ESD and how we work for interdisciplinary, interactive and open publishing on the functioning of the Earth system.

Geochronology is fundamental to many aspects of the Geosciences. Constraining timing and rates is essential for understanding geological, geomorphological and environmental processes. However, advances in geochronological methods and new applications are often hidden within the various Geoscience sub-disciplines which limits the opportunity for exchange innovations between geochronologists specialised in different techniques.
Launched in 2019, GChron provides a platform for the discussion and dissemination of innovative geochronological research that cuts across disciplines, thereby facilitating better communication between experts in different geochronological techniques. It is hoped that this enhanced communication will foster innovation between techniques, providing clear benefits to the Geosciences.
Since 2019, GChron’s submissions have stabilised at ~50 per year, attracting cutting-edge contributions from researchers worldwide.

The Cryosphere is a leading interactive, open-access journal of the European Geosciences Union, dedicated to advancing understanding of the Earth’s cryosphere, and its role in the climate system, in the past, present, and into the future. Established in 2007, the journal was founded to provide a focussed forum for high-quality research on frozen water and frozen ground in all its forms. Its scope spans glaciers and ice sheets, seasonal snow, sea ice, lake and river ice, and permafrost, and the journal also welcomes contributions that consider interactions between the cryosphere and the wider Earth system, research incorporating human perspectives, and studies of extra-terrestrial ice. Its open peer-review model promotes transparency, scientific dialogue, and respectful engagement across the international cryospheric research community.
Since its inception, The Cryosphere has been closely aligned with the rapid growth of cryospheric science driven by climate change, advances in satellite observations and numerical modelling, and the state-of-the-art of field-based and analytical research. The journal has played a key role in disseminating landmark studies on ice sheet mass balance, sea ice decline, permafrost thaw, and cryosphere–climate feedbacks - research that has gone on to influence international assessments such as the IPCC reports. Today, The Cryosphere serves the global research community by supporting ethical and rigorous publishing practice while highlighting emerging topics such as cryospheric hazards, tipping points, and the socio-environmental impacts of cryosphere decline. The journal continues to evolve alongside the field, reflecting both fundamental advances in research methods and data availability, and pressing environmental challenges facing Earth’s polar and mountain regions.

Advances in Geosciences (ADGEO) is an open access interdisciplinary journal of the European Geosciences Union focusing on the fast publication of collections of short and self-contained communications in the Earth, planetary, and solar system sciences. These collections are published online in separate volumes. Usually, the volumes comprise papers presented at scientific meetings, such as the annual EGU General Assembly, or special publications focusing on well-defined topics. Therefore, ADGEO offers an excellent opportunity for conference participants to publish their contributions in a scientific journal with the high-quality standards of the EGU publications. Indeed, the peer review process follows the same rigorous standards of the other EGU journals and is organized by guest editors, e.g., conveners of a conference session or meeting organizers. We invite prospective and current authors, reviewers and editors to join this session and learn more about the possibilities of publishing research in ADGEO, ask questions, share ideas, explore ways to get involved and help shape the journal’s future.

EGU Letters are short papers (< 2500 words) that highlight outstanding research of broad relevance across the geosciences. They are characterized by both of the following key features:
– Important discoveries and highlights in geoscientific research.
– Solutions to or progress with long-standing and important questions in their research area.
In addition, the reported research findings should be of high interest to the broad geoscience community or to the broader public and media.
Introduced in 2020, ‘EGU Letters’ is not a standalone journal. Instead, they comprise a curated selection of Letters published within individual EGU journals, currently including ACP, BG, ESD, GC, NPG, OS, and SOIL. To date, approximately 50 EGU Letters have been published. The public peer-review process for Letters is conducted within the respective host journals and is overseen by their editorial teams. EGU Letters represent a highly selective subset of EGU publications, accounting for approximately 0.4% of all EGU publications and around 1% of papers published in the journals that currently consider this manuscript type. This high level of selectivity reflects the central aim of the format: to identify and showcase particularly impactful articles of broad interest to the geoscience community.
EGU Letters extend the well-established, multistage publishing process of the EGU journal portfolio. They constitute a third step, following public peer review and discussion on EGUsphere and subsequent peer-review completion and publication in an EGU journal. This approach enables the efficient identification of exceptional contributions without compromising scientific completeness, rigor, or quality assurance. As a result, EGU Letters are expected to reach a level of quality and credibility comparable to, and potentially exceeding, that of similar formats in other high-impact interdisciplinary journals, while integrated within the EGU interactive open-access publishing framework. We will answer questions related to Letter submissions, scope, and editorial handling, discuss the role of EGU Letters within the broader EGU publication landscape, and welcome any suggestions and feedback for their further development.

The Encyclopedia of Geosciences is a collection of peer-reviewed, open-access review articles which have been published in our partner journals of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). The reviews are written by experts in the field. The Encyclopedia fills the gap between traditional review articles on the one hand and online encyclopediae on the other.
The subject area of the Encyclopedia is the entire field of geosciences, including the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, magnetosphere, and the solar system. The articles address readers with academic but not necessarily specialist background in science. Currently the Encyclopedia mostly includes existing review articles published in the EGU journals. In addition, we will complement the collection with articles tailored to the needs of the Encyclopedia. In order to guarantee high scientific quality, the articles of the Encyclopedia undergo the full peer review process in their partner journals, and are subject of a public discussion phase. Articles can be solicited, but the Encyclopedia of Geosciences is also open for contributed review articles. Before preparing and submitting a review article, authors should follow the guidelines for review articles of the corresponding EGU partner journal and, ideally, keep an eye on the Encyclopedia requirements from the beginning.
Anyone interested in our approach to make the geosciences accessible to interested non-specialists is welcome to join, ask questions, share ideas, and explore ways to get involved and help shape the future of the Encyclopedia.

Our experience shows that public discussion fosters constructive scientific exchange, improves manuscript quality, and strengthens accountability and trust in the review process, while maintaining rigorous editorial oversight. Reviewers receive recognition for their contributions, and readers gain direct insight into how scientific conclusions are evaluated and refined.
This session will highlight the benefits and advantages of EGU’s interactive publishing model compared to traditional peer review. All members of the scientific community, i.e., authors, editors, reviewers, and readers, are invited to contribute their perspectives and questions, helping to further develop our publishing system that is transparent, community-driven, and not-for-profit.

At the occasion of the 25-year anniversary of Interactive Open Access Publishing, the EGUsphere coordinators and the EGU editorial manager invite the EGU community to join an interactive presentation about EGUsphere’s past achievements and its vision for the future. Created in 2020 as a platform for conference material and preprints, EGUsphere continues EGU’s pioneering activities in terms of Interactive Open Access Publishing. EGUsphere hosts a diverse, inclusive, and systematic collection of contributions:
1) Conference material presented at EGU meetings can be publicly discussed by the scientific community beyond the meetings. All conference abstracts are fully citable with a unique digital object identifier (DOI) and can be amended by additional presentation material pertinent to EGU meetings (General Assembly, Plinius Conferences, Gallileo conferences).
2) EGUsphere allows for the submission and public discussion of preprints. Submission routes include (i) traditional preprints without peer review, (ii) preprints for potential publication in one of the EGU journals, and (iii) preprints posted on external servers that are eventually intended for journal publication upon peer review. This way, EGUsphere continues and expands the previous journal discussion forums that facilitated the interactive discussion between authors, referees and scientific community since 2001 to provide the transparency of the peer review process and rigorous quality control in scientific publishing.
Current and prospective authors, reviewers and editors will learn how to navigate the interactive public discussion phase on the platform.
Anyone interested in EGU’s transparent, community-driven and not-for-profit publication model, which has EGUsphere as an interactive platform, is welcome to join, ask questions, share ideas, explore ways to get involved at any career stage and help shape the platform’s future.

Did you ever wonder about our current culture of academic publishing, its ideals, inadequacies and evolution over time? We often take this culture as a given, we might complain about its issues and injustices but it feels like we cannot do anything about it. However, things are not quite this hopeless. We might not be able to influence the big commercial publishing companies and how they run things, but we can make a difference in the publishing world of EGU and its grassroots-run family of high-quality scientific journals. Here, powers lie largely with the EGU Publications Committee, which is made up of the Executive Editors of all EGU Journals and which is in constant close communication with our service provider Copernicus Publications and with the editorial manager in the EGU office.
In this committee, we push the boundaries of interactive open access publishing and decide on publishing policies, such as how to
- improve diversity and inclusion of authors, reviewer and editors,
- support Early Career Scientists,
- offer a fair and transparent review process,
- deal with impact factors and their widely recognized limitations in assessing importance, impact, or quality of both academic work and journals,
- deal with the use of AI in academic publishing
These are real leverages where we as active scientists aim to make academic publishing fair, inclusive and transparent, as also reflected in our slogan ‘transparent, community-driven, not-for-profit’. Unlike commercial publishers, article processing charges of EGU journals are re-invested into EGU activities, such as workshops and trainings.
If you are interested in hearing more about the work of the EGU Publications Committee or have any suggestions and questions, we welcome you to visit our PICO presentation.

Geoscience Communication (GC) is a journal that seeks to be a conduit to help all aspects of EGU convey their relevance, significance and impact outside academia. Areas of this science communication include outreach, public engagement, widening participation and knowledge exchange. Actually, it includes research about any initiative which seeks to communicate an aspect of geoscience to a wider audience than the experts within that particular field, and to give this recognition similar to traditional scientific work.
Work can be activity-led, illustratively a new classroom activity (e.g. on earthquake early-warning systems), evaluated to record and build best communication practice. Alternatively, it might be curiosity-led testing of a research hypothesis e.g. are geoscientists more effective than non-geoscientists in determining whether video game world landscapes are realistic? Our Philosophy is to be open and helpful, so please talk to us about ideas pre-submission. Indeed, look out for two short courses we run that aim to improve communication (SC3.13 – ‘Get your writing right’) and demystify what research about geoscience communications involves (SC3.11 - How to publish my geoscience communication work: A hands-on, participatory workshop).

At the occasion of the 25-year anniversary of EGU Interactive Open Access Publishing, the Executive Editors of Hydrology and Earth Systems Sciences (HESS) invite the EGU community to join an interactive presentation about HESS’s past achievements and its vision for the future.
HESS encourages and supports fundamental and applied research that advances the understanding of hydrological systems, their role in providing water for ecosystems and society, and the role of the water cycle in the functioning of the Earth system. A multi-disciplinary approach is encouraged that broadens the hydrological perspective and the advancement of hydrological science through integration with other cognate sciences and cross-fertilization across disciplinary boundaries.
HESS was founded in 1997 and in the editorial of Volume 1, Issue 1 the rationale for hydrology as a geoscience was given: “Much has been written over the past decade about the need to establish a strong identity for hydrology as a distinct geoscience alongside the atmospheric, ocean and solid earth sciences. The aims and scope of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) have been designed to give full expression to this goal, and have been strongly influenced by 'Opportunities in the Hydrologic Sciences' (National Academy Press,1991). The functioning of the hydrological cycle within an earth system undergoing global change is currently the focus of research by many leading scientists and it is hoped that HESS will become a major forum for the publication and discussion of such research, as well as all new findings which enhance the position of hydrology as a geoscience.” Interestingly, by now hydrology is very well established as a geoscience and the Hydrological Sciences Division is one of the largest divisions of EGU.
In 2005 HESS then moved from print issues to fully web-based open access with a transparent and interactive peer-review process. From the editorial at that time (written by Huub Savenije):
“The transition from the classical anonymous and hidden peer review processes to the open discussion style follows immensely successful developments in other communities (in particular high-energy physics) and has the potential to greatly improve the communication in our discipline. Another great advantage of this discussion forum is that it will make publication (and participation in the discussions during the review process) more accessible to the wider community, especially to young scientists. HESS-D will act both as a discussion forum and as a new way (i) of contributing to our science, and (ii) for any scientist to become active and be visible as a creative and responsible thinker.” This transparent and inclusive aspect of HESS remains something we value very much and constantly try to improve on.
Current and prospective authors, reviewers, current editors and anyone who might be interested in exploring the possibility to join our editorial board will learn more about HESS’s editorial workflow, from preparing a strong submission with high scientific significance to navigating the interactive public discussion phase on the community platform EGUsphere.
Anyone interested in HESS’s transparent, community-driven and not-for-profit publication model is welcome to join, ask questions, share ideas, and explore ways to get involved.

NHESS was conceived around the year 2000 within the Natural Hazards Interdisciplinary Working Group of the European Geophysical Society, at a time when interdisciplinary research on natural hazards had few dedicated publication outlets. Established to provide a shared forum for genuinely multidisciplinary scholarship, NHESS has played a pioneering role in bringing together physical, environmental, and socio-economic perspectives on hazards, risk, and their impacts. First published in 2001, shortly before the formation of the EGU, the journal has grown from its early issues into one of the leading international journals on hazards and risk, reflecting both the expanding scope of the field and the enduring success of the EGU’s community-driven, open-access publishing model.
The journal's ambition is to embrace a holistic Earth system science approach, encompassing the processes, physics and statistics of a wide range of natural and human-induced hazards, their monitoring and modelling, associated impacts, and the role of adaptation and mitigation strategies. While engineering-focused studies are outside the journal’s scope, NHESS actively welcomes contributions addressing socio-economic, governance and management aspects of disasters.
The journal serves a broad and diverse community of research scientists, practitioners and decision-makers. In addition to original research articles presenting substantial and original scientific advances, NHESS publishes review articles that can contribute to the EGU encyclopedia of geosciences. By invitation, perspectives articles may also be published to stimulate an open and constructive debate, based on the authors’ (critical) observations or research suggestions, and grounded in sound arguments, facts, published research studies, or real-life examples. NHESS further supports setting up thematic special issues proposed by selected guest editors, and curated special collections.
The session will provide insights for current and prospective authors, reviewers, and editors into the journal’s editorial scope, publication formats, and interactive peer-review process. Participants are warmly invited to engage in discussion, ask questions, share ideas, and explore ways to contribute to and help shape the future of NHESS within the EGU publishing landscape.

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics (NPG) was launched in 1994 as the first journal of a section of the European Geophysical Society (EGS), which preceded the European Geosciences Union (EGU). It very quickly became a joint journal with the American Geophysical Union (AGU). A unique feature compared to other geophysical journals is that NPG has focused heavily on methodological issues, building on what has often been described as the nonlinear revolution with bold attempts to fundamentally renew the approach to nonlinear/complex systems.
In 2002, NPG became an interactive open-access journal, which represented a profound change for its community, in fact a pioneering transformation for the nonlinear community. To succeed, it was necessary to renovate NPG, clarifying its objectives and practices: "NPG is an international, inter/transdisciplinary, non-profit journal dedicated to breaking through the impasses often encountered by standard approaches in Earth and space sciences. It therefore solicits disruptive and innovative concepts and methodologies, as well as original applications of these...‘. It created NPG Letters, the first EGU journal of this kind, ’to report on particularly important results and major advances in a concise and engaging style", which can also be selected for EGU Letters. Due to the difficulties faced by its community, NPG has been vigilant in helping to develop new funding mechanisms, with the general idea that no article should be prevented from being published due to lack of funding.
Having noted these points, we will be happy to discuss how to better use and improve NPG in order to overcome the current difficult context for research, particularly when it addresses fundamental issues.

While EGU is celebrating the 25-year anniversary of Interactive Open Access Publishing, we at Ocean Science just celebrated our 20-year anniversary last year. We did this with a well-visited reception at last year’s General Assembly and with an extraordinary jubilee special issue on reviews of and perspectives on the last 20 years and the coming 20 years. These influential reviews will at the same time complement the EGU Encyclopedia of Geosciences. During these 20 years we have become one of the leading publications for oceanic research, where the number of published articles has increased steadily to 174 in 2025. We accept submissions in all fields of ocean research and across all spatial and temporal scales and methods, including physical, chemical, biogeochemical and biological ocean processes and interactions, marine ecology, mesoscale-to-submesoscale dynamics, benthic and sediment processes and fluxes between the ocean, atmosphere and land. The approach taken can be common observations in oceanography, but also remote sensing, instrument development and techniques, laboratory studies, analytic theory, numerical models, data assimilation and operational oceanography. Our overall motto is that a paper should teach us something new about the oceans. Manuscript types considered are Research Articles, OS Letters, Review Articles, Technical Notes, Opinions and Commentaries/Replies.
Currently, we have 24 editors, including the four co-editors-in-chief. The editors all have their specific expertise which drives the kinds of manuscripts that they handle. We are always open for new editors, depending on the expertise needed. We are also open to new referees, that is, early career scientists with experience in publishing; those interested can apply by filling in the dedicated online form.
Our journal is in constant development, both intern as part of the EGU/Copernicus family, and within the science community. We would like to involve as many people as reasonably possible. If you are interested to be part of this development in any way, do not hesitate to contact us at the general assembly or by email.

Solid Earth (https://www.solid-earth.net/) is a not-for-profit open access journal that publishes multidisciplinary research on the composition, structure, and dynamics of the Earth from the surface to the deep interior at all spatial and temporal scales. The journal invites contributions encompassing observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations in the form of short communications, research articles, method articles, review articles, and discussion and commentaries on all aspects of the solid Earth.
Our journal celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2025, an occasion we are celebrating with an anniversary collection that highlights the journal’s scope through a selection of some of the most impactful papers published in Solid Earth. These are papers that made a “splash” by, for example, stimulating new research directions, developing new methods or highlighting applications. During the last 15 years, the journal also developed opportunities for the community to participate in driving the journal in manners that are suited for all career stages. For instance, tandem reviews allow early career scientists to learn reviewing a manuscript together with a senior supervisor. Also, different levels of editorship allow advancing and experienced scientist to engage. In this open spirit, we look forward to engaging with you during the PICO session, discussing the possibilities and potentials of Solid Earth.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of Interactive Open Access Publishing, the Executive Editors of SOIL would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the journal’s role within the scientific community.
Since its founding in 2014, SOIL has sought to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research in soil science, connecting traditional soil studies with related fields such as ecology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, and environmental science. The journal covers a wide range of research activities—from laboratory and field studies to modelling and data analysis—with the aim of fostering a deeper understanding of soil systems and their environmental interactions.
Like all EGU journals, SOIL follows a transparent and interactive peer-review process, ensuring scientific quality while encouraging community engagement. The continued development of SOIL is made possible by the dedication of its editorial team, comprising 5 Executive Editors and approximately 40 Topical Editors. Their expertise and commitment play a key role in maintaining the journal’s standards and fostering its growth.
We invite authors, reviewers, and editors to explore SOIL’s community-driven, not-for-profit publication model, engage in discussions on EGUsphere, and contribute to the future of soil science research. We look forward to continuing this journey together, advancing open, interdisciplinary, and impactful research in soil science.

We will showcase the EGU journal "Weather and Climate Dynamics" (WCD), which was funded in 2020 with a focus on dynamical processes in the atmosphere. WCD aims at establishing a seamless perspective on atmospheric flows, on scales from weather to climate (minutes to decades). The scope of the journal includes various topics linked to atmospheric and climate dynamics, such as weather system dynamics in tropical, midlatitude and polar regions, dynamics of extreme weather events, interactions of atmospheric flows with cloud physics, radiation and the water cycle, atmospheric variability and predictability on time scales from minutes to decades, as well as the role of atmospheric dynamics in paleoclimate and climate change projections. The journal welcomes theoretical studies, idealized or full-physics numerical studies, and diagnostic studies using (re)analysis or observational data. In the first five years since its foundation, WCD has been growing rapidly and has published various important papers on a range of topics.

For the past decade, Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography (ASCMO) has operated as an independent Copernicus journal. With an editorial board consisting of both domain scientists and statisticians, the journal has published important research papers about novel statistical methods used in those geoscience disciplines. We are pleased to announce that the scope of the journal will now be expanded to include all areas of interest to the EGU’s mandate. Accordingly, the new name of the journal is changed to “Geoscientific Statistics” or GeoStats/GS for short. The new scoping statement is as follows:
The interdisciplinary journal Geoscientific Statistics (GeoStats) serves at the interface of statistics and all aspects of geoscience. GeoStats gives statisticians and mathematicians the opportunity to reach more scientists while publishing cutting-edge statistical methodology. It also provides researchers of the Earth system an outlet to publish details of their statistical and computational mathematical methods, and is a complement to the domain focused EGU journals
The journal subject areas are defined by the following index terms below:
- Statistics and Applied Mathematics
- Machine learning
- Atmospheric sciences
- Biogeosciences
- Climate and Earth system modelling
- Cryosphere
- Earth and space science informatics
