Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan (JMSJ) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal for the publication of research in areas of meteorology.
10 Great Features of JMSJ |
Impact Factor
3.100 |
JMSJ will be published as a Springer/Nature journal starting from the 2026 edition. Manuscripts submitted after January 2025 and those accepted after January 2026 will be published as S/N Journal articles with a different APC from the current regulation and a different editing platform from the current system. It should be remarked that there is possibility that the manuscript submitted in 2025 and accepted much earlier than 1 January 2026 must wait for publication until the S/N publication platform opens. For manuscripts published as S/N Journal articles, please refer to the submission guidelines that will be independently provided soon later (as of 16 July 2024).
