Close collaboration between scientific societies and publishers on journal publications results in high quality, trusted, and community driven scholarly communication. Such partnerships ensure rigorous peer review standards, long term journal development, and wide global reach for society owned publications. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, published on behalf of the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU), Geoscience Letters, the official journal of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) and Earth, Planets and Space, copublished on behalf of five Japanese learned societies across geomagnetism, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetary sciences, illustrate how society expertise shapes their journals into a strong publication platform in their fields of research. Springer Nature supports these societies with robust publishing services to strengthen their communities. All three journals are fully open access journals, underscoring the importance of open access in the global dissemination of their communities research.
Open access and open science are essential to accelerating discovery, strengthening research integrity, and ensuring that scientific knowledge can be reused, scrutinized, and built upon without barriers. For scientific communities and societies, these practices enhance global visibility, support equitable participation, and improve the reproducibility and impact of research outputs. Springer Nature advances open access through its extensive portfolio of fully open access journals as well as transformative agreements with institutions worldwide.
In addition to open access, artificial intelligence (AI) tools are reshaping the landscape of scientific publishing. AI offers significant opportunities for accelerating research, e.g. by enhancing data analysis, but it also introduces challenges related to transparency and responsible use. Scientific communities and publishers play a crucial role in shaping norms that ensure AI strengthens, rather than undermines, research integrity. Springer Nature advocates the constructive use of AI by developing clear policies for responsible use, integrating AI technology to support publishing processes and investing in technologies that improve research quality while maintaining rigorous editorial and ethical standards. Through these measures, Springer Nature aims to help researchers benefit from the potential AI offers while safeguarding the reliability and trustworthiness of the scholarly record.
