SPECIAL ISSUE

We are happy to announce the opportunity of publishing a NORA6 Special Issue in Scientia Marina, a scientific journal published by the CSIC and edited by the Institut de Ciències del Mar that publishes original papers, reviews and comments in marine biology and ecology. Emphasis is placed on articles of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature (including those linking marine sciences with social and life sciences), as well as those dealing with the conservation of marine ecosystems and the sustainable and fair use of marine resources. Scientia Marina is indexed in the Web of Science: Journal of Citation Reports (JCR) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) among other national and international databases. The Special Issue will be totally free of charge thanks to the institutional support of the grant ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation (CEX2024-001494-S) funded by AEI 10.13039/501100011033.
