Progress in Oceanography aims to publish articles across the entire spectrum of disciplines within the science of Oceanography, and encourages longer, more comprehensive papers that oceanographers feel are necessary, on occasion, to do justice to their work.

Review articles are particularly welcome, and Authors of review articles are offered an amount of USD200 plus USD5 per printed page upon publication of their article in Progress in Oceanography.

The journal publishes topics including:
Physical Oceanography
Biological Oceanography
Chemical Oceanography
Inter-disciplinary papers


Progress in Oceanography does not accept submissions on:
Instrumentation and technical developments
Estuary science
