Marine Biotechnology welcomes high-quality research papers presenting novel data on the biotechnology of aquatic organisms. The journal publishes high quality papers in the areas of molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, cell biology, and biochemistry, and particularly encourages submissions of papers related to genome biology such as linkage mapping, large-scale gene discoveries, QTL analysis, physical mapping, and comparative and functional genome analysis. Papers on technological development and marine natural products should demonstrate innovation and novel applications.
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE; ISSN 2077-1312) is an
international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an
advanced forum for studies related to marine science and engineering.
Current IF is 2.9 according to the Journal Citation Reports (Web of
Science). Q1 ranking in "Engineering,
Marine," we also rank Q2 (19/63) in the "Oceanography" category and
(6/16) in the "Engineering, Ocean" category. Marine Biology is one of its essential sections. Prof. Dr. Magnus
Wahlberg is the section Editor-in-Chief. We maintain a rapid, yet
rigorous, peer-review, manuscript handling and editorial process. The
