Focus and Scope

Global Journal of Marine Science (GJMSC) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes original, high-quality, and rigorously reviewed research in marine science and ocean studies. The journal prioritizes contributions that demonstrate strong theoretical foundation, robust empirical evidence, and methodological rigor, with relevance to contemporary challenges in marine ecosystems, ocean resources, and sustainability at local, national, and global levels.

The journal welcomes experimental, observational, and interdisciplinary studies that advance marine science and its applications. Particular emphasis is placed on research that integrates marine science with climate change, marine biodiversity, ocean technology, and sustainable resource management.

GJMSC aims to advance marine science knowledge by promoting reproducible research, encouraging innovation in marine observation and analysis, and supporting the sustainable use and conservation of ocean resources. The journal positions itself as a platform for high-impact scholarship with strong international visibility and citation potential.
