Journal of Marine Biology & Oceanography is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes the most complete and reliable source of information on the discoveries and current developments in all areas pertaining to marine biology and oceanography. Chemical Oceanography is the study of ocean chemistry: the behavior of the chemical elements within the Earth's oceans. Much of chemical oceanography describes the cycling of these elements both within the ocean and with the other spheres of the Earth system. These cycles are usually characterized as quantitative fluxes between constituent reservoirs defined within the ocean system and as residence times within the ocean. Journal of Marine Biology & Oceanography publishes results of research on marine biology, biological/physical/chemical/ geological oceanography, and other relevantly related areas. The journal successfully follows hybrid policy of publication that offers authors with the choice of publishing via customary subscription method or making their article open access. The Journal uses Editorial Manager System for maintaining quality review process. Editorial Manager is an online manuscript submission, review and tracking system. Review process is performed by the editorial board members of Journal of Marine Biology & Oceanography; the validation by at least two independent reviewers followed by the editor’s approval is required for the acceptance of any citable manuscript for publication in the Journal.
