Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is going to reach a remarkable milestone, and in celebration of this special occasion, we have taken the initiative to launch a Special Issue called “The 10th Anniversary of the 'Chemical Oceanography' Section”.
The Special Issue aims to gather moderate-sized original research or review papers featuring important and recent developments or recent progress in chemical oceanography and welcomes studies on the following:
- The interactions between seawater, the atmosphere, the seafloor, and marine organisms.
- Cycling of elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus as well as their interactions, transformational processes, carbon sequestration, ocean acidification, and effects on aquatic biota.
- The behaviour of trace metals, and the study of gases and nutrients in marine environments and ocean circulation.
- The interaction of organic and inorganic molecules, particulate and dissolved matter, and ocean sediments.
- The effects of human activities, such as pollution and climate change, on oceanic systems.
In order to comprehend the factors influencing chemical compositions and how they change over time and space, the papers may discuss experimental or field research in settings like salt marshes, deep ocean sediments, cold seeps, and saline lakes. They may also combine field observations, laboratory experiments, and computer models.
Ultimately, attention will be focused on analytical chemistry of the oceans, anthropogenic climate change, and restoring the chemistry of the oceans.
Potential authors should be well-known experts in their domain and are invited to submit their contributions at any time from now until the submission deadline.
Prof. Dr. Michele Arienzo

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
