Guide for Authors
Aims and scope
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth's surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
Guide for Authors

Author benefits: No page charge except for printed color Figures. Accepted articles will be published online in their untypeset version within several days after acceptance; these articles can be cited by doi.
We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submission. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process.
Only when your paper is at (final) revision stage, you will be requested to put your paper into “correct” format for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article.
