Oxford University Press (OUP) and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) are pleased to announce that ICES Journal of Marine Science (ICES JMS) flipped to fully open access on 1st January 2023. All content published prior to that date is free to view, and all rights are reserved. All ICES JMS content is now freely available, including the archive going back 120 years to the first issue published by the precursor journal in 1903.

With the transition from a subscription-based to an OA publishing model the journal introduced an article processing charge (APC). If accepted for publication, manuscripts that were submitted on or after October 1, 2022 will be subject to an APC. Importantly, no one will be excluded from publishing in the journal because of a financial barrier, and there will not be a bureaucratic or lengthy waiver application process (see the information below about APC waivers).

Learn more about the change here

The ICES Journal of Marine Science publishes original articles, opinion essays (“Food for Thought”), visions for the future (“Quo Vadimus”), and critical reviews that contribute to our scientific understanding of marine systems and the impact of human activities on them. The Journal also serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to the marine environment. Oceanography (e.g. productivity-determining processes), marine habitats, living resources, and related topics constitute the key elements of papers considered for publication. This includes economic, social, and public administration studies to the extent that they are directly related to management of the seas and are of general interest to marine scientists. Integrated studies that bridge gaps between traditional disciplines are particularly welcome.

Please read the mission statement of ICES Journal of Marine Science.

For manuscripts that are not pursued through review, the average time from submission to decision is 2 days in 2022.

For manuscript pursued through review, the average time from submission to first decision in 2022 is 47 days.

Currently, 50% of submissions are not pursued through review (see "How to get published in ICES Journal of Marine Science" for some insight into why). The acceptance rate of unsolicited submissions is 35%.
