About the journal
The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on marine ecosystems. This field should be seen in its widest sense, including both biotic and abiotic aspects of all types of marine and estuarine systems, benthic as well as pelagic. Apart from quality, the main criterion for selection of papers will be whether they contribute to the understanding of the functioning of marine systems. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine geology, marine chemistry, and physical oceanography, provided they are not only descriptive. Although the emphasis is on fundamental research, papers describing important and relevant new techniques, methods and apparatus will also be considered.
Instructions to Authors
General Instructions
1. Papers must be submitted in their final form, bearing in mind that no further correction/addition is possible.
2. Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
3. Four copies of the manuscripts should be sent to the Editor.
4. Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are recommended to seek the advice of a colleague who has English as his mother-tongue. Manuscripts written in correct English require less time for review and publication.
Authors in Japan please note: Upon request, Elsevier Science will provide authors with a list of people who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact our Tokyo office: Elsevier Science, 1-9-15 Higashi Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0044, Japan. Tel: +81 35561 5032. Fax: +81 35561 5045. E-mail: info@elsevier.co.jp.
5. Authors should use IUGS terminology. The use of S.I. units is also strongly recommended.
6. Manuscripts should be structured in a way that conforms to the layout of the journal.
7. The manuscript should be printed with double spacing and wide margins. The various headings should be clearly differentiated, and first and second order headings should be numbered.
8. The entire manuscript should be paginated. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, you may refer to section numbers.
In the case of Special Issues, manuscripts should be submitted to the Guest Editor(s). Authors should ensure that they submit manuscripts, and meet any additional requirements, in line with deadlines set by the Guest Editor(s) to ensure that the entire Special Issue can be published in a timely fashion.
Electronic Submission Authors can also upload their article as a LaTeX, Microsoft? (MS) Word?, WordPerfect?, PostScript or Adobe? Acrobat? PDF document via the "Author Gateway" page of this journal (http://authors.elsevier.com), where you will also find a detailed description on its use. The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the file is suitable for reviewing. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by e-mail and no paper correspondence is necessary. Note: compuscripts submitted are converted into PDF for the review process but may need to be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. For this an "editable" file format is necessary. See the section on "Electronic format requirements for accepted articles" and the further general instructions on how to prepare your article below.
Keywords
Please provide up to six subject keywords, plus regional index terms. At least four of the subject keywords should be selected from the Aquatic Science & Fisheries Thesaurus. An electronic version of the Thesaurus can be found at http://www.csa.com/helpV3/ab.html.
You may also find a paper version in your library. The Regional Terms should be provided as a hierarchical string (eg: USA, California, Monterey Bay). Authors are also encouraged to submit geographic bounding coordinates at the end of the keyword string.
Abstract
The abstract should be a concise summary of the paper stating the methods used, the main results and the conclusions in a way that does not require reference to the body of the paper; it should not be longer than 500 words.
References
1. All references cited in the text are to be listed at the end of the paper.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication.
3. If reference is made in the text to publications written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used, followed by "et al.". In the list of references names of authors and all co-authors must be given in full.
4. References in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names, and chronologically per author.
The following system should be used for arranging references:

Illustrations
1. All illustrations must be presented separate from the manuscript, unfolded, and as originals.
2. Photographs and micrographs, etc. must be of good quality and printed on glossy paper. Original glossy prints (e.g., from negatives) are required. Reproductions of photographs, etc. cannot be accepted. The object being shown must fill the image.
3. All illustrations must be numbered consecutively and referred to in the text.
4. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or - in the case of line-drawings - on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the principal author. Indicate the top of the illustration in cases where doubt may arise.
5. Drawings should be completely and clearly lettered, taking into account the possible need for reduction in size (preferably not more than 50%). The lettering and other details must have dimensions that do not become illegible or unclear after the required reduction. Foldouts can only be accepted in exceptional cases. Design all figures in a way that uses all the available space, do not leave large areas blank. Remember that sharp, neat, well presented illustrations will be essential to the readers' appreciation of your paper. Lettering must be drafted sharply and neatly. The lettering must be in English. The same type of lettering should be used throughout.
6. Bar scales must be used rather than magnification factors that must be changed in cases of reduction. Do not forget to mention the units used in diagrams.
7. All maps must have North and latitude and longitude indicated.
8. Each illustration must have a caption. All figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet and be double-spaced.
9. Explanations must be given in the typewritten caption. Text in the figures should be kept to a minimum.
10. Laser-printed illustrations are acceptable. In such cases please also provide a disc copy.
11. Colour figures can be accepted provided the author is prepared to meet the reproduction costs. These are NLG 800 for the first page and NLG 400 for subsequent pages. You may include more than one figure per page.
Tables
1. Authors should take note of the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. A table should not exceed the printed area of the page. If this appears impossible, reversing columns and rows will often make the impossible possible.
2. Large tables should be avoided. Foldouts can only be accepted in exceptional cases. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide these over two or more tables.
3. Tables should be compiled on separate sheets and must be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text must include references to all tables.
4. Each table must have a brief and self-explanatory title. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Units of measurement should be given in parentheses. Vertical lines must not be used to separate columns - leave extra space between the columns instead.
5. Explanations that are necessary to the understanding of the table should be given as footnotes at the bottom of the table. A footnote should be indicated by a lower-case letter.
Formulae
1. All formulae should be presented consistently and clearly with regard to the meaning of each symbol and its correct location. Formulae must be typed throughout.
2. If there are several unusual symbols they must be collected in a separate list in an appendix, and a clear explanation of each symbol given. However if there are just a few, an explanation for each can be included in the text where they first occur.
3. Please try to keep the notation as simple as possible, and avoid ambiguities. Do not use special typefonts if there is no urgent need to do so.
4. Different formulae should be clearly separated in the manuscript, at least by punctuation marks, if not by words. Avoid breaking formulae if breaking is not strictly necessary (i.e., if the equation is less than one typed line). Never let a sentence consist of formulae alone (i.e., without any connection with the preceding text).
5. Do not use complicated juxtapositions of symbols. Also, try to avoid complicated subscripts and superscripts; third-order indices especially present difficulties as to their size and position, and fourth-order indices are taboo.
6. The manuscript must show a clear distinction between similar symbols, (e.g., between zero (0) and the letter O, between one (1) and the letter l, and between multiplication ( ) and the letter x).
7. Important formulae (e.g. definitions) must be displayed. All formulae which are to be referred to later on must be displayed and numbered consecutively throughout the paper; the number should appear on the right-hand side of the page.
8. In chemical formulae the valence of ions must be given as, for example, Ca2+ and CO32 rather than as Ca++ and CO3--.
9. Isotope numbers should precede the symbols (e.g., 18O).
GenBank/DNA sequence linking
DNA sequences and GenBank Accession numbers Many Elsevier journals cite "gene accession numbers" in their running text and footnotes. Gene accession numbers refer to genes or DNA sequences about which further information can be found in the databases at the National Center for Biotechnical Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine. Elsevier authors wishing to enable other scientists to use the accession numbers cited in their papers via links to these sources, should type this information in the following manner:
For each and every accession number cited in an article, authors should type the accession number in bold, underlined text. Letters in the accession number should always be capitalised. (See Example 1 below). This combination of letters and format will enable Elsevier's typesetters to recognize the relevant texts as accession numbers and add the required link to GenBank's sequences.
Example 1: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".
Authors are encouraged to check accession numbers used very carefully. An error in a letter or number can result in a dead link.
In the final version of the printed article, the accession number text will not appear bold or underlined (see Example 2 below).
Example 2: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".
In the final version of the electronic copy, the accession number text will be linked to the appropriate source in the NCBI databases enabling readers to go directly to that source from the article (see Example 3 below).
Example 3: "GenBank accession nos. AI631510, AI631511, AI632198, and BF223228), a B-cell tumor from a chronic lymphatic leukemia (GenBank accession no. BE675048), and a T-cell lymphoma (GenBank accession no. AA361117)".
Footnotes
Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. If used, footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript, indicated by superscript Arabic numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Page proofs
One set of page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author to be checked for typesetting/editing. Proofs should be returned within 3 days to The Journal of Sea Research Editorial office. If authors are expecting to be away from their office when the proofs arrive, arrangements should be made with colleagues for the proofs to be checked in the author's absence.
Text
We accept most word-processing formats (ideally Microsoft Word or WordPerfect). Please check the journal's style and arrangement, particularly the reference citation style and structure of the reference list. Most formatting codes will be removed or replaced on processing your article and so there is no need for you to use excessive layout styling. In addition, do not use options such as automatic word-breaking, justified layout, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts, etc.
When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, please use only one grid for each separate table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is being used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns.
Please adhere to the following order when you create your manuscript: Title, Authors (please provide the fax number and e-mail address for each corresponding author), Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure legends, Tables. Do not import the Figures into the text file.
Graphics
Scanned and computer-generated illustrations, either colour or black & white are acceptable. (Authors will be charged for the inclusion of colour figures.) Especially for computer-generated halftones (micrographs [AFM, STM, TEM, SEM etc.] and images) better results can be achieved when reproducing from electronic files. Since we cannot a priori guarantee the usability of graphic files, high-quality original hardcopies of all illustrations must be submitted with the manuscript.
The following formats/resolutions should be adhered to:
EPS: 72 dpi; Please note: vector drawings always as EPS with 72 dpi
TIFF: for line art minimum 600 dpi up to 1000 dpi
JPEG: for halftones, 300 dpi
JPEG or TIFF: for so-called line/tone combinations, minimum 500 dpi.
Native formats of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Aldus Freehand and CorelDraw are also acceptable. Please note that the resolution restrictions also hold in these cases, e.g. when submitting a halftone in original Photoshop format, the resolution should be 300 dpi. Do not send file formats such as GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG or DOC. Also do not send graphic/image files enclosed in MS-Word, WordPerfect, Excel, PowerPoint or any other wordprocessing/spreadsheet/presentation program. Fonts used should also be supplied on the disk.
Colour illustrations should be scanned in at 300 dpi (500 dpi for colour line/tone combinations). With CMYK electronic files include a 4-colour machine or cromalin proof and check that all the separations (if provided) are colour coded. Computer-generated graphics should be produced in grey scale if to be published in black & white.
Graphics should be submitted in the size that they are to appear in the journal. This will help with the lettering and resolution of your files, as the resolution will be lost if we have to enlarge a file.
Please note that if any file proves to be unusable we reserve the right to publish your article from the hardcopy supplied.
