Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. For more than 50 years, OMBAR has been an essential reference for research workers and students in all fields of marine science. From Volume 57 a new international Editorial Board ensures global relevance, with editors from the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and Singapore. The series volumes find a place in the libraries of not only marine laboratories and institutes, but also universities.
OMBAR has an excellent Impact Factor of over 6 (based on publications up to volume 58, published in 2020), with an outstanding h-Index of 49. Its 2020 CiteScore was 7.2 with Scopus, ranking OMBAR 9/224 journals in the field of Aquatic Science, and 7/128 in the field of Oceanography (in the 96th and 94th percentile, respectively). The impact factor has fluctuated considerably in the last decade, reflecting the limited number of articles each year, but in most years it is over 4 with occasional higher peaks depending on its content that year (11 in 2014). Clarivate gives it an impact factor of 8 in 2020. Impact factors paint only a partial picture of the value of OMBAR, with reviews continuing to be read and cited for many years with long citation half-lives (OMBAR > 10 years).
