空间物理学致力于在空间科学的广阔领域发表新的和原创的研究成果。这包括气象学、磁层物理学、行星大气、电离层和磁层、太阳和行星际物理学、宇宙射线和日光层物理学。鼓励将空间科学与太阳-地球系统其他组成部分之间的相互作用联系起来的科学，以及多学科和系统级的科学论文。
Space Physics is dedicated to the publication of new and original research in the broad field of space science. This embraces aeronomy, magnetospheric physics, planetary atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres, solar and interplanetary physics, cosmic rays, and heliospheric physics. Science that links interactions between space science and other components of the Sun-Earth system are encouraged, as are multidisciplinary and system-level science papers.
