EDP Sciences is an international, academic publisher which was established in 1920 by a prestigious academic community of French learned societies seeking to inspire, innovate and inform others by sharing their knowledge. Members of this community included eminent scientists like Marie Curie, Paul Langevin and Louis de Broglie whose work can still be enjoyed in our archives.

Today, EDP Sciences publishes high-quality scientific journals, conferences proceeding, books and magazines in a broad range of scientific, technical and medical disciplines. It is very involved in open access and open science.

Astronomy & Astrophysics

Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) is one of the leading original research journals publishing worldwide astronomical and astrophysical research. As the journal of The European Southern Observatory (ESO) and with over 50 years of publishing excellence, A&A is at the forefront of this field.

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate

“The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate was created by the space weather community and holds a special place at the heart of that community.”
– Anna Belehaki and Jean Lilensten (Editors-in-Chief).

Established in 2010, JSWSC is an international, Gold Open Access journal which was recently awarded the DOAJ Seal for “best practice in open access publishing”. It emerged from a European space weather community effort, but the Editorial Board was soon expanded to include experts from other continents. JSWSC is a champion of open science and benefits from strong support by the Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence (STCE).
