Marine Biology Research is the result of a successful merger of two well respected journals in the field of Marine Biology: Sarsia, North Atlantic Marine Science (published by Taylor & Francis in collaboration with the University of Bergen and the Institute of Marine Research, Norway) and Ophelia, International Journal of Marine Biology (published by Marine Biological Laboratory in collaboration with Freshwater Biological Laboratory, both University of Copenhagen).
Sarsia and Ophelia were both established in the 1960's and have both become well respected international journals presenting original research on all aspects of oceanography and marine biology, Sarsia giving particular emphasis to results from Nordic and North Atlantic environments. Marine Biology Research has continued with similar aims and scopes in addition to presenting invited reviews and thematic issues on selected research topics to subscribers in over 40 different countries.
Marine Biology Research aims to provide practitioners and academics with a forum for ideas and discussion on all areas of marine biology and oceanography.
The Journal will cover a broad range of topics, including:
- Ecology
- Behaviour
- Benthic dynamics
- Biodiversity
- Biogeography
- Coastal and Oceanic habitats
- Ecosystem functioning
- Evolution
- Phylogeny
- Physiology
- Taxonomy
Marine Biology Research now offers faster publication for its authors. With our Build Issue service, articles are entered straight into the online issue as soon as possible upon receipt of the corrected proofs. Articles thereby receive final page numbers at a far earlier stage in the publication process. We anticipate that this rapid production service will allow top-end research to reach its audiences even sooner, without compromising the peer-review process and whilst continuing to ensure our commitment to publishing research of the highest quality.
The editors welcome original research papers on all aspects of marine biology and applied aspects. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mbr.
Contributions are accepted from around the world and will be directed at a highly international audience.
