The Journal of Oceanography is the official journal of the Oceanographic Society of Japan, renewed in 1992 from Journal of Oceanographic Society of Japan (JOSJ), and open to all oceanographers in the world. The Journal of Oceanography has been co-published by Terra Scientific Publishing Company with Klewer Academic Publishers or Springer, and will be published by Springer Japan starting from Volume 67, 2011.
The main aim of the journal is to promote understandings of ocean systems from various aspects including physical-, chemical-, biological-, geological-, and pale- oceanography, etc. The journal welcomes researches focusing on the western North Pacific and Asian coastal waters, but the study region is not limited to the Asian Pacific. The journal publishes original articles, short contributions, reviews, and correspondence in oceanography and related fields free of page charge. Papers describing important new techniques, methods, and apparatus will also be considered. Descriptive works will, however, be acceptable if they contain general principles. Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times.
