Marine Biology Research is the result of a successful merger of two well respected journals in the field of Marine Biology: Sarsia, North Atlantic Marine Science (published by Taylor & Francis in collaboration with the University of Bergen and the Institute of Marine Research, Norway) and Ophelia, International Journal of Marine Biology (published by Marine Biological Laboratory in collaboration with Freshwater Biological Laboratory, both University of Copenhagen). Sarsia and Ophelia were both established in the 1960's and have both become well respected international journals presenting original research on all aspects of oceanography and marine biology, Sarsia giving particular emphasis to results from Nordic and North Atlantic environments. Marine Biology Research has continued with similar aims and scopes in addition to presenting invited reviews and thematic issues on selected research topics to subscribers in over 40 different countries. Marine Biology Research aims to provide practitioners and academics with a forum for ideas and discussion on all areas of marine biology and oceanography. The Journal will cover a broad range of topics, including: * Ecology * Behaviour * Benthic dynamics * Biodiversity * Biogeography * Coastal and Oceanic habitats * Ecosystem functioning * Evolution * Phylogeny * Physiology * Taxonomy Applied aspects (environment, fisheries) of marine biological research, which contribute to general biological insight, will also be covered. Rapid Online Publication Marine Biology Research now offers faster publication for its authors. With our Build Issue service, articles are entered straight into the online issue as soon as possible upon receipt of the corrected proofs. Articles thereby receive final page numbers at a far earlier stage in the publication process. We anticipate that this rapid production service will allow top-end research to reach its audiences even sooner, without compromising the peer-review process and whilst continuing to ensure our commitment to publishing research of the highest quality. Call for Papers The editors welcome original research papers on all aspects of marine biology and applied aspects. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mbr. Contributions are accepted from around the world and will be directed at a highly international audience.

Operations Research Perspectives is an exciting new open access journal in the field of Operations Research and Management Science. It provides a dedicated and safe environment for open access research, with fast online publication on ScienceDirect for all accepted papers.

Operations Research and Management Science has matured over the last 60 years. Nowadays it is a truly interdisciplinary field, intermixing theories and methodologies from mathematics, management science, computer science, operations management, economics, engineering, decision support, soft computing and many more, even reaching into psychology, ergonomics, knowledge management, education, quality management and biology.

Rather than disseminating the different scholarly papers among a large number of journals, or focusing on specialized topics in niche publications, Operations Research Perspectives aims to bring together high-quality papers and original contributions with a potentially far-reaching impact in the field, inside the same journal. As a result, the interfaces between the different disciplines and the richness of the field are bolstered, facilitating new and interesting approaches.

Operations Research Perspectives is aimed at a wide audience, ranging from management scientists, industrial engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, practitioners and scientists working in the operations research field, understood in a wide sense. Similarly, all kinds of submissions, from short notes and technical letters to longer-length research papers, case studies and applications are welcomed. There is no page limit imposed and supplementary materials, including multimedia, are also welcomed.

Operations Research Perspectives operates a rigorous single blind review process, with all accepted papers having at least 2 quality referee reports from prominent researchers in the field.

Benefits to authors

Operations Research Perspectives is an open access journal. The journal and the editorial workflow have been fine-tuned in order to speed up the revision process as much as possible. As a result of these two key benefits, authors' research results are disseminated quickly and openly to the field, which significantly increases their visibility and potential impact.

Another key benefit is a series of cross-editorial agreements with other major operations research journals, namely Omega - The International Journal of Management Science, Decision Support Systems, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Production Economics, Computers & Operations Research and Computers & Industrial Engineering. Under these agreements, selected high-quality papers that have already been peer reviewed might be accepted in a quick editorial decision for Operations Research Perspectives.

We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Please click here for more information on our http://www.elsevier.com/journal-authors/author-servicesauthor services.
