摘要：Space Weather has gone through a number of recent changes, the most notable being the move to fully open access in 2020 but also the end of the Space Weather Quarterly, the print edition of the journal, which has been replaced by the online quarterly digest. Space weather affects numerous industries and sectors and has important consequences for policy as related to preparedness and mitigation. The role of the Quarterly was partially to reach professionals and policy makers to let them know of recent developments in space weather research that may have consequences beyond the research sphere. Replacing this role takes multiple venues and format. The move to open access implies that any person interested or curious about space weather or about a specific article can now read it without a subscription or membership to AGU. With nearly as many submissions to the journal in 2020 as in 2019, the transition has been successful. The journal continues to publish articles regarding all aspects of space weather, from forecasting schemes using machine learning, studies of the geospace and upper atmosphere using the ever-increasing fleets of satellites, discussions of new and future heliospheric missions and instrumentation to fill gaps in space weather research, monitoring and exploration, to commentaries and discussion of new initiatives, roadmaps, and international teams to tackle space weather and its effects. While each article can be read by anyone, the question is how to ensure that potentially interested or affected individuals are aware of the journal and specific articles.
