Advances in Oceanography and Limnology

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus, Scope and Objectives Advances in Oceanography and Limnology was born in 2010 from the 35 years old Proceedings of the national congress of the Italian Association of Oceanology and Limnology. The AIOL Journal was funded as an interdisciplinary journal embracing both fundamental and applied Oceanographic and Limnological research, with focus on both single and multiple disciplines. Currently, two regular issues of the journal are published each year. In addition, Special Issues that focus on topics that are timely and of interest to a significant number of Limnologists and Oceanographers are also published. The journal, which is intended as an official publication of the AIOL, is also published in association with the EFFS (European Federation for Freshwater Sciences), which aims and objectives are directed towards the promotion of freshwater sciences throughout Europe. Starting from the 2015 issue, the AIOL Journal is published as an Open Access, peer-reviewed journal. Space is given to regular articles, reviews, short notes and opinion papers. Peer review Introduction Peer review is applied to all research articles and the majority of other article types published in Advances in Oceanography and Limnology . This entails at least two independent, expert peer reviewers. Policy All submissions to Advances in Oceanography and Limnology are first checked for completeness (criteria for desk reject are available in the Guide for Authors ) before being sent to an Editor, who decides whether they are suitable for peer review. If an Editor is on the author list or has a competing interest in a particular manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to oversee peer review. When making a decision, Editors will consider the peer-reviewed reports, but they will not be bound by the opinions or recommendations contained in them. A single peer reviewer's or the Editor's concern may result in the manuscript being rejected. Peer review r
