(7) Announcement and survey request from Union Session
Union Session U-08 “What is the true value of Knowledge Creation? Science and Society, Collaboration and Evaluation” (Conveners: Michiyo Shimamura, Yuko Onishi, Kiyoshi Suyehiro and Mark Mocettini Shimamoto), conducted orals and poster sessions on Wednesday, 29 May as scheduled.
We, conveners appreciate for your attendance!
The streaming of U-08 oral session is now available! Please watch the video, if you missed it. Along with the streaming of U-08 session, we extended the deadline of the questionnaire survey related to the session as follows.
Please give us 10 minutes of your time! We would appreciate your cooperation in filling out the questionnaire.
Background: There is a wide range of research, from “research that responds to the mandate of society” to “research that responds to the intellectual curiosity of humankind.
In the survey conducted during the U-04 session at the JpGU Meeting 2022, it was found that the members of this community believe that it is necessary to connect science and society, and that researchers are the main actors in this connection, but that the lack of time and funding to carry out this connection and the lack of recognition of scientific achievements are issues that need to be addressed.
Therefore, in the U-07 session of the JpGU Meeting 2023, we discussed “Establishment of a system with stakeholders, lack of resources, and lack of evaluation of scientific performance, which are important in connecting science and society,” and conducted a questionnaire survey. As a result, it was found that (1) science communicators, universities/research institutes, and elementary/junior high schools are major stakeholders, (2) financial support and establishment of support organizations focused to activities “linking science and society,” and (3) clarification of activity evaluation (parameters and quantification) are considered to solve the issues.
Purpose of this survey: To investigate effective collaboration for “connecting science and society” by type of research and specific proposals for performance evaluation to promote social collaboration.
Closing date of this survey [extended]: Friday, 02 August 2024

#6. Information from PEPS
(1) PEPS is ranked in the “Q1” quartile in the “GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY” category
The 2024 edition Impact Factor (IF) and CiteScore have now been released.
The latest IF for PEPS is 3.5, 5-year IF is 3.6, and CiteScore is 6.5.
Although these values are lower than those of last year, this feature may be due to a decline of around 15% in the total number of academic papers published in 2023, after the COVID-19.
On the other hand, we are pleased to announce that PEPS is ranked in the “Q1” quartile, the top 25% of journals in the “GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY” category, for the first time. The editorial board appreciates everyone contributing to the development of PEPS and looks forward to receiving more submissions from more people.
(2) Extension of submission deadline for SPEPS special collection
The submission deadline for the following SPEPS special issues have been extended.
