The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on understandings of marine processes in ocean basins, marginal seas, estuaries, and coastal zones. The journal will publish original research papers, review articles, and short communications from various aspects including physical, biological and chemical oceanography, marine geology, and marine ecology. We welcome research using multiple platform observations, laboratory experiments, numerical models and theoretical studies. Some volumes will be devoted to collections of papers and conference proceedings of exceptional interest.

Please note: From January 2022 Journal of Sea Research is an open access journal. Authors who publish in Journal of Sea Research will be able to make their work immediately, permanently, and freely accessible. Journal of Sea Research authors will pay an article publishing charge (APC), have a choice of license options, and retain copyright to their published work. The APC will be requested after peer review and acceptance. For more details visit our FAQs page.
