Editorial

On behalf of the editors of the Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the reviewers for assessing manuscripts. The editors greatly appreciate the contribution of reviewers who have dedicated their valuable time and efforts in reviewing the assigned manuscripts, which is crucial to the journal’s editorial decision-making process. The Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography follows a double-blind peerreview process, where the identities of both the authors and reviews are not disclosed, to avoid any biased decision. Committing to review is a diligent task, requiring not only careful reading, analysis, and commentary but also a willingness to continue with a manuscript through multiple revisions. The Journal has taken several steps to thank and acknowledge the reviewers. The Journal has an Editorial submission system that generates a unique id and password for their reviewers, who accept the reviewer invitation. By creating an account on the Editorial submission system, reviewers can submit their comments either on the journal’s email id or directly on the submission system. Also, they can access details of their past reviews and can download a letter of acknowledgment for their records. On successfully completing the reviewing of 5 manuscripts, by each reviewer, submitted to the Journal the reviewers are entitled to get an official reviewer certificate from the Editorial team. Feedback from reviewers shows that most see their task as voluntary and mostly unseen work in service to the scientific community.

The Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography is an international peer-reviewed journal and one of the preferred journals in the field of marine science. The first issue of the journal was published in the year 2012 and since then it is growing continuously and publishing sufficient number of articles in each issues successfully with active support of the reviewers. The main aim of the journal is to publish high-quality, authentic, relevant and up-to-date research going on in the allied areas of marine science such as Marine Biotechnology and Chemistry, Ecology & Ecosystem, Marine Geology, Fisheries Science, Limnology, Aquaculture, Toxicology, Coastal Geography, Ichthyology, Biogeochemistry, Climatology, Marine Conservation and Engineering. The Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography is a quarterly journal and publishes article in English and every article is rigorously peer-reviewed and is published online with 45 days after acceptance.

The journal appreciates the contribution of the reviewer board members who have provided peer-review of manuscript which were submitted to the Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography. With their consistent support and advice, a total of 10 articles are published from January 2019 to July 2020 from authors belonging to different geographical locations across the world. They receive no remuneration for their work and still took out time from their busy schedules to read and evaluated manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Marine Biology and Oceanography from December 2019 to July 2020. We, on the behalf of whole journal team thank them for their indispensable work.
