EGU journals: open access publishing, public peer review and the new EGUsphere

The EGU, through Copernicus Publications, publishes 19 peer-reviewed, open access journals that cover a wide range of topics within the Earth, planetary and space sciences. Not only are these EGU journals open access, but they also provide an open discussion forum that allows an open review, open discussion and transparent evaluation.

This webinar explains the interactive public peer review system, the role of the EGU Publication Committee, how researchers can effectively publish in an EGU Journal, and briefly describes the new EGUsphere.

The webinar lasts approximately 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes for questions from participants.

Speakers will include:

• Katja Fennel: Chair of the EGU Publications Committee and Professor of Oceanography at Dalhousie University
• Martin Rasmussen: Managing Director, Copernicus
• Alberto Montanari: EGU President and Professor of Water Engineering and Hydrology at the University of Bologna
