Earth & Planetary Insights (EPI) welcomes the support of academic, research, institutional, and public librarians in improving the visibility, accessibility, and long-term discoverability of scholarly content in Earth and planetary sciences. The journal is designed as an open access academic resource for researchers, students, educators, and professionals working across geosciences, environmental studies, sustainability, natural resources, planetary exploration, and related interdisciplinary fields.

Librarians are encouraged to include EPI in their electronic journal catalogues, discovery systems, subject guides, institutional portals, and relevant research resource lists. By listing the journal among your library's electronic holdings, you help users access peer-reviewed scholarly content without subscription barriers and support wider dissemination of research that contributes to current scientific, environmental, technological, and societal challenges.

EPI operates as an open access journal, allowing readers to access published articles freely online. This model supports the principles of open science, global knowledge exchange, and equitable access to research. For libraries, the journal offers a useful resource for users who require reliable academic literature without the limitations of paywalled access, particularly in fields connected to Earth systems, environmental monitoring, resource management, climate resilience, geospatial technologies, and planetary science.

The journal provides structured bibliographic information to support catalogue inclusion, citation, discovery, and academic referencing. Published articles include clear article titles, author details, affiliations, abstracts, keywords, publication dates, issue information, references, and persistent identifiers where applicable. These elements are important for library discovery tools, metadata indexing, institutional repositories, citation systems, and long-term scholarly visibility.

Librarians may also support the journal's discoverability by linking to the journal homepage, issue archives, article landing pages, and relevant subject categories within library catalogues or research guides. Where appropriate, EPI may be included in open access journal lists, geoscience and environmental science collections, research support pages, and resources for students and faculty working in Earth and planetary science disciplines.

As part of the publishing framework of SWS Scholarly Society / SGEM WORLD SCIENCE, EPI is committed to responsible scholarly communication, transparent editorial standards, ethical publishing practices, and the preservation of academic content. The journal seeks to maintain a stable scholarly record and to support long-term access to published research through its online platform and associated scholarly infrastructure.

The journal platform is based on Open Journal Systems (OJS), a widely used open-source publishing system developed for scholarly journals. OJS supports structured journal management, editorial workflows, article publication, metadata presentation, user registration, and reader notification services. For librarians and institutional users, this provides a familiar and accessible environment for journal navigation, content discovery, and metadata use.

EPI values the role of librarians as essential partners in scholarly communication. By including the journal in institutional catalogues and discovery environments, librarians help strengthen the connection between published research and the academic communities that need it. This support contributes to broader readership, improved discoverability, responsible citation, and the long-term impact of the research published in the journal.

For questions regarding catalogue inclusion, metadata, journal information, access, archiving, or institutional visibility, librarians are welcome to contact the editorial office.
