Planetary Science Journals

Choosing where to publish your research is a nightmare - we tend to base the choice on cost, ability to avoid stringent word counts/figure counts, and a nebulous concept of journal quality.  In an ideal world none of this should matter - science should all be open access for free (e.g., arXiv), referees should be high-quality and rewarded for their work, and no one would pay any attention to impact metrics.  A non-exhaustive list of publications is below:

• Nature (plus Nature Astro, Nature Geophysics) and Science.
• Planetary Science Journal (PSJ, replacing AJ and ApJ for planetary studies):  as of 2020, this gold OA journal charges $61 per text quanta (350 words) and $53 per figure/table.  So 10,000 words and 5 figures would come to around $2000.
• Nature Communications is an OA journal generally considered above Scientific Reports.  They publish 5000-word articles and up to 10 display items.  The open-access fees are $5,380 as of 2020.
• Scientific Reports (part of Nature) is a gold OA journal that publishes ~4500-word articles, 8 display items, with an article processing fee of $1870.
• Science Advances (part of Science) is a gold OA journal with a base article processing charge of $4500, but allows up to 15,000 words and 6 display items.
• JGR: Planets (of which I'm an associate editor) charges a $1000 fee (£3500 for gold OA) for articles, plus $125 for every publication unit (500 words or one display item) over the standard limit of 25.  So 10,000 words and 5 figures should cost you $1000 (NB currently half the price of PSJ).  Managed by AGU.  
• Geophysical Research Letters only accepts papers of 12 publication units (500 words or one display item), charging $500 per article ($2500 for gold OA) and $125 for excess units (which aren't typically allowed).  Managed by AGU.
• Below JGR and GRL sits Earth and Space Science (ESS), also managed by AGU.
• Icarus has long been regarded as the journal of choice for the Division of Planetary Sciences, and does not charge an APC (unless gold OA is sought).  Colour reproduction of figures incurs fees.  Managed by Elsevier.
• Planetary and Space Science - similar to Icarus in fees, also managed by Elsevier.
• Space Science Reviews.
• Astronomy and Astrophysics.
• Monthly Notices of the RAS.
• Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (by invitation only).
