During the 8th EPS Young Minds Leadership Meeting, Anne Ruimy, senior publisher at EDP Sciences, delivered a 1-hour scientific writing workshop to 40 representatives of EPS Young Minds sections. The EPS Young Minds Project is an international network of young researchers involved with promoting science among local communities. The meeting took place at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Lightin Erlangen, Germany.
The interactive workshop focused on writing effective abstracts, and used unpublished abstracts submitted by the participants themselves as material to work on their scientific writing skills. The participants, representatives of 20 Young Minds sections from Europe and beyond, were PhD and Masters’ students in physics who overall had little prior experience of publishing in academic journals.
During the workshop, Anne also presented a €500 “Best Activity Award” on behalf of EPL journal. This award recognized the two newly formed Young Minds sections of Yerevan and Artsakh (Armenia) for extraordinary work to promote science in difficult economic conditions.
EDP Sciences now offers masterclasses on scientific writing for young researchers and PhD students. Workshops can be tailored to the needs of the institution: from a 1-hour focused session to a 2-day extended workshop. The workshops are delivered by experienced senior publishers from EDP Sciences with the support of senior editors representing journals from across the scientific spectrum.

EDP Sciences now offers masterclasses on scientific writing aimed at the next generation of authors. To support the masterclasses, EDP Sciences is producing a series of video interviews with Editors-in-Chief of journals published by EDP Sciences and beyond. These videos aim to help early career researchers and PhD students understand what journals are looking for in academic papers.
The first video produced by EDP Sciences is a video interview with Jean Lilensten - Editor-in-Chief of the open access Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate
In this interview, Jean Lilensten gives his advice to early career researchers, discusses the editorial process at JSWSC, and shares common reasons for acceptance or rejection of articles.
“When a paper is rejected, I always try to find good things in the paper that would help the author to resubmit something which will have chances to be published,” said Jean Lilensten in the video interview. “It happens that some papers lack maturity. Any time this happens I try to help the authors, so that the papers become more mature and they are able to submit a successful paper.”
Jean Lilensten works at the Institute for Planetary sciences and Astrophysics, Grenoble, and participates in exploratory expeditions to the Arctic. He founded the Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (JSWSC), published by EDP Sciences, of which he is now the Co-Editor-in-Chief. He is the author of several books on space meteorology for the general public, and regularly participates in radio and television programs including on French Channel 5.

A new “Agora” for non-traditional scientific output in the field of space weather and space climate.
- Détails
The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (JSWSC), published by EDP Sciences, announces the launch of a new supplement titled “Agora”. The Agora, a term which denoted in ancient Greek an assembly place for various aspects of public life including intellectual exchange and debate, will be the place for the space weather community to discuss, evaluate and distribute non-traditional scientific output in the field of space science and space climate, such as public outreach papers and historical accounts.
The first articlepublished in the Agora section analyses magnetic storms recorded in 1848 and 1872 in the old Clementinum (Prague) and Greenwich (UK) observatories. These events were marked by spectacular auroras recorded by several authors.
In an Editorial published recently in JSWSC, the Editors explain the importance of publishing this type of scientific output, and the need to design a new way to evaluate it.
“The decision to create a supplement to the JSWSC came from our difficulties to evaluate some articles. All Education and Public Outreach papers and papers on historical observations resulted in tense discussions within the Editorial Board, with final decisions always frustrating for some of the editors,” write the Editors. “In consequence, papers in a new supplement should not be subject to the same review process as in the regular issue of JSWSC.”
The creation of a supplement to the journal was discussed with the Associate Editors of JSWSC. These discussions resulted in the specification of the characteristics of the supplement which would accommodate publications fundamentally different from the journal’s regular research, technical, and review papers. Agora will publish papers on Education and public outreach, Historical space weather events and observations, Commentaries, Meeting reports and Project reports.
The articles for the Agora supplement will be internally reviewed by at least four editors, among them the Editors in Chief and the Editorial Advisor. In order to meet the needs of potential contributors, the new articles in the supplement will be indexed similarly to regular JSWSC papers, will receive a DOI and will be citable. However, the supplement will clearly be marked as evaluated by members of the editorial board as opposed to external peer reviewers.
As with all other articles published in the gold open access Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, Agora articles are published as soon as possible after acceptance, in the current volume. They are also collated in a special Agora collection accessible at: https://www.swsc-journal.org/agora. All articles published in JSWSC are freely accessible to all and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY 4.0).

EDP Sciences is pleased to announce it has signed a new agreement for the ‘Publons Reviewer Recognition Service’ for the following journals:
- Parasite (open access)
- Cahiers Agricultures (open access)
- Aquatic Living Resources
- 4open (open access)
- Sicot-J (open access)
As a society-owned publisher, EDP Sciences is mindful of its role within the scientific community and the interactions of the various members of that community in the publishing process.
The Publons Reviewer Recognition Service promises “a modern and rewarding peer review experience”; one which EDP Sciences is keen to extend to its reviewers in recognition of their crucial role in the publishing process and their vital contribution to academic rigour more generally.
“In the longer term, all journals belonging to EDP Sciences will benefit from the Publons Reviewer Recognition Service” comments France Citrini, Associate Publishing Director. “We are committed to supporting greater efficiency in the peer review process and clearly demonstrating the value we place on the expertise and hard work of reviewers.”
The Reviewer Recognition Service from Publons, part of Clarivate Analytics, allows reviewers “to record, verify, and showcase” peer review contributions. Investment in this service is one of the many ways EDP Sciences understands and responds to the needs of the scientific community.
