空間物理學致力于在空間科學的廣闊領域發表新的和原創的研究成果。這包括氣象學、磁層物理學、行星大氣、電離層和磁層、太陽和行星際物理學、宇宙射線和日光層物理學。鼓勵將空間科學與太陽-地球系統其他組成部分之間的相互作用聯系起來的科學，以及多學科和系統級的科學論文。

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.
