About the journal
Oceanography contains peer-reviewed articles that chronicle all aspects of ocean science and its applications. In addition, Oceanography solicits and publishes news and information, meeting reports, book reviews, and shorter, editor-reviewed articles that address public policy and education and how they are affected by science and technology. We encourage submission of short papers to the Breaking Waves section that describe novel approaches to multidisciplinary problems in ocean science. Oceanography is published in March, June, September, and December in online and paper format. Oceanography is covered in the Thomson Reuters Journal Citations Reports and the Science Citation Index Expanded.
Instructions to Authors
Submittal Requirements
All submissions must be typewritten and double-spaced. Include the manuscript title; name, title (e.g., Associate Professor, Research Scientist, Graduate Student), and affiliation (including city, state and country) of each author; and the e-mail and mailing address of the lead author. Acknowledgements, callouts, references, tables and figures should follow the stylistic conventions defined in the Oceanography Style Guide (252 K pdf). Please submit each manuscript as an electronic file to the Editor, Dr. Ellen S. Kappel, at ekappel@geo-prose.com. If the manuscript is being submitted as part of a special issue, it should be sent to the guest editor for that issue.
Submitted material will be reviewed for style, relevance to The Oceanography Society’s mission, and quality by the Editor, associate editors, and by external reviewers. We endeavor to complete the review process within three months of manuscript submittal.
Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, the Editor reserves the right to request the author to submit the final text and graphics files in publishing-compatible electronic formats. See below for guidance on submitting final graphics files.
Language Style
Oceanography is a scientific magazine, not a technical journal. Submitted manuscripts should be of broad interest to our readership. The desired writing style is less technical and more compact than that typically used in scientific papers. Strive for clarity and simplicity. Target your article to graduate students, professional oceanographers of all traditional disciplines, and other scientifically literate audiences. Avoid technical or mathematical jargon. Write captions so that readers can get the main points of the manuscript by perusing them.
Product Reviews
Reviews are solicited for marine-related scientific materials (e.g., books, video, software, databases, equipment, etc.), and also for marine-related published materials with a potentially wider appeal (e.g., novels, biographies, historical anecdotes, etc.). Reviewers should keep in mind that a well-written review helps readers decide whether or not it is worth their time to obtain the product. The reader of a review expects basic information about the content, organization or application of the product, as well as a subjective opinion about the product’s quality.

If there is a problem with any graphic, we will contact you for a revised electronic graphic file. The Editor reserves the right to reject poor-quality graphics.
Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permission from other publishers for any figures/images they submit to Oceanography. Most publishing companies and journals have instructions on how to obtain copyright permission on their Web sites. Please send a copy of the letter(s) granting permission via fax and mail to:

Submitting Final Graphics
Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, arrangements for file transfer will be made with the author. The Editor will provide the author access to the TOS FTP site, where all text, graphics, and tables should be placed. FTP, or file transfer protocol, is a common method of moving files from one computer to another using the Internet. Authors can login to an “FTP site�and post/upload files or retrieve/download files.
File Naming Guidelines
When naming a file, use the first five characters of the lead author’s last name and then some short descriptive information. For example (in this example we used "johns" -- short for "johnson"):
- johns_ms.doc (for a manuscript text file)
- johns_ca.doc (for a captions text file)
- johns_t1.doc (for a table 1 text file)
- johns_f1.tif (for a figure 1 tif file)
- johns_f2.eps (for a figure 2 eps file)
Use lower case letters when naming files. File names should be no longer than 8 characters plus the file extension. Always include the file extension (for example, .eps, .tif, .doc).
Cover Art
Any person may submit cover material to be considered for use on the front or back covers. Cover material must be pertinent and complementary to the articles within the issue. In some relevant cases, cover figures with extended captions will be considered for publication without an accompanying article. Cover images must be oriented vertically and submitted with adequate resolution for enlargement and reproduction.
If you are supplying art for the cover of Oceanography, please make certain that the image you would like on it is 600 dpi at the size you would like it to appear on the cover. Our magazine size is 8.5 x 11; if it is an image that will wrap around (front and back cover), the full size is 17 x 11.
Publication Charges
Oceanography does not require authors to pay page charges or costs for four-color reproduction of figures and graphics. However, to offset production costs, a fixed charge of $500 has been established for articles that are not part of the invited special issue section. Contact info@tos.org for more information.
Offprints, PDFs, and Copies
The following are offered to the lead author for purchase at the time of production:
Article offprints;
Articles as high-resolution PDF files;
Additional copies of Oceanography.
In addition, low-resolution PDFs (suitable for onscreen) are available free of charge upon request via the Copies Order Form.
For more information or to place an order, download the Copies Order Form (24 KB pdf).
Proof Review
Proofs are distributed as low-resolution documents in portable document format (PDF) by email to the lead author (unless delegated to another representative of the lead author) only once during production of the magazine. The lead author is allotted three business days to review the proofs and return all edits via email or fax to:
Vicky Cullen

Woods Hole, MA 02543 USA
t: (1) 508-548-1027
f: (1) 508-548-2759
vcullen@whoi.edu
The schedule for delivery of proofs will be provided to the lead author as soon as possible, so that arrangements can be made for proof delivery if the lead author is away from their work office.
