The Planetary Science Journal is a special magazine for scientists who study space. It started in 2020 and shares new discoveries about planets, stars, and other objects in space. Anyone can read it because it is an open access journal, meaning no special permission or money is needed to see the articles.

This journal is made by IOP Publishing for the American Astronomical Society. It is checked by other scientists to make sure the information is correct. This checking is called peer-reviewed.

The first person to lead the journal was Faith Vilas, who works at the Planetary Science Institute. The journal helps scientists share their ideas and findings with each other, which helps everyone learn more about space and the objects that travel through it.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal's articles appear in two important lists: Inspec and Scopus. This makes it easier for scientists to find the journal's research.
