GSA is relatively cheap: $270 per month if you are member, but 370 if you are not.

Physics Today is about as bad as AGU: They start at $650 for 45 days and go up to $1250 for a premium 3 month announcement.

The AAS is relatively cheaper at $315 per month, but extra fees are added if you go over 2000 characters.

This is really unbelievable: The cost of posting a simple job announcement on the AGU website is $685 for 1 month and and $915 for two months. Add more for "premium" features.

If you are organizing a #PlanetaryScience meeting, there is no reason to pay for a service to manage abstract submissions, registrations, and program management. We are offering the use of our Indico server to the planetary science community for free. solarsystem.events

Have you ever wanted to post a summary of a paper you published, post an announcement for the entire #PlanetaryScience community, or write a blog? If so, you probably realized that there are few good solutions for our community. The Planetary Research Blog aims to fill this void.

Do changes in Earth's orbit and obliquity give rise to signals that can be recorded in the geologic record? Can sedimentary deposits help constrain the evolution of the #Moon's orbit? Check out the AstroGeo seminar series for answers! Now on solarsystem.video (no ads!). #PlanetaryScience

Article processing fees at JGR-Planets are now only $4,070!And they are beating their "competitors"! Perhaps there isn't a need for a #PlanetaryScience #DiamondOpenAccess journal after all.

Dear Author,

Thank you for publishing in Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.

With your help, we have delivered essential research to further advance planetary science.

Let’s continue to make an impact together

Prepare to make an impact by publishing open access in a growing journal.

Our fees are $4,070 so you can enjoy the benefits of open access for less*. We’re going places and would love your next work to be part of our journey.

Publish with us again

An AGU journal publishing original research articles spanning planetary geology, geophysics, geochemistry, atmospheres, and exoplanets.

What sets us apart?

Journal Citation Indicator: 1.26

Journal Impact FactorTM: 3.9

Submission to first decision: 62 days

Article Publication Charges: $4,070

Understand the metrics

Publishing in a high-standard journal may come at a cost, but did you know your fees may be covered? You can find out if your article publication charges (APCs) are funded here.

What are you waiting for?

Prepare to submit

*Our APCs are, on average, lower than our competitors.
