OCEAN COAST MANAGE

Aims and Scope

Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.

We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.

Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.

Verified Reviews

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

Received the first-instance opinion on July 18, 2022. The editor suggested, "During the paper revision stage, please be sure to explain the relationship between your paper content and the scope of this journal, and highlight your academic contribution. Especially, you can explain how the research content of your paper aligns with the latest research hotspots and thematic trends of the OCMA journal." Does anyone know how to generally write about academic contributions? Generally, in which part of the paper is it more appropriate to write about this, the introduction or the conclusion section?

The assignment editor is very efficient, but Yaqing Shu, as the editor-in-chief and a researcher in the field of shipping, may not be interested in our business papers. However, is it appropriate for him to directly reject the submission simply because he is not interested? If he cannot understand the articles due to different fields, he should have rejected the assignment when it was initially given and let an editor familiar with my area of expertise make the decision! Nevertheless, the process is indeed fast and will not delay the submission time.
