Aims and scope

Marine Biology Research ( MBRJ) provides a worldwide forum for key information, ideas and discussion on all areas of marine biology and biological oceanography. Founded in 2005 as a merger of two Scandinavian journals, Sarsia and Ophelia, MBRJ is based today at the Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway. The Journal’s scope encompasses basic and applied research from all oceans and marine habitats and on all marine organisms, the main criterium for acceptance being quality. In its first ten years, MBRJ has published nearly 700 submissions from 55 countries, including many research and review articles as well as eight Thematic Issues.

Marine Biology Research covers a broad range of topics, including:

Ecology

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs, Food webs

Behaviour

Benthos and plankton dynamics

Biodiversity

Biogeography

Climate effects

Coastal, Oceanic, and Deep-sea habitats

Developmental and Reproductive Biology

Ecosystem functioning

Environmental and Fisheries Biology

Evolution, Phylogeny, Systematics

Microbiology and Virology

Paleoecology

Phylogeography

Physiology

Population dynamics and genetics

Taxonomy

MBRJ covers applied aspects (environment, fisheries, management, monitoring) of marine biological research which contribute to general biological insight.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
