Aims and Scope

Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:

Physical sedimentology and geomorphology
Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)
Marine environment and anthropogenic effects
Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features
Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology
Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health
Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)
Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles
Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

Posted in September 2020, the manuscript was reviewed by two well-known experts in the field. Their feedback was highly professional. In early November, they provided revision suggestions, which required substantial changes. Additional experiments were conducted to address the feedback, and the revisions were completed in January 2021. The revised manuscript was returned with feedback in March. After submitting it at the end of April, it was accepted without further revisions. The feedback received was highly professional, and the editor-in-chief was also very responsible.

Mainstream journals in geology, with constructive comments from the reviewers, have seen an improvement in the quality of the articles after revisions. However, the review process of well-established journals is relatively slow, taking a total of 20 months from submission to online publication. Some articles in this journal have a high quality and it is hoped that they will soon be included in the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
