Oceanography and Marine Biology - An Annual Review

Guidelines for contributors to OMBAR, including information on illustration requirements, can be downloaded on the 'Support Material' tab on the latest volume's webpage.

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. Recent Impact Factors include: Volume 53, 4.545. Volume 54, 7.000. Volume 55, 5.071.
