The Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology provides a forum for experimental ecological research on marine organisms in relation to their environment. Topic areas include studies that focus on biochemistry, physiology, behavior, genetics, and ecological theory. The main emphasis of the Journal lies in hypothesis driven experimental work, both from the laboratory and the field. Natural experiments or descriptive studies that elucidate fundamental ecological processes are welcome. Submissions should have a broad ecological framework beyond the specific study organism or geographic region. Short communications that highlight emerging issues and exciting discoveries within five printed pages will receive a rapid turnaround. Papers describing important new analytical, computational, experimental and theoretical techniques and methods are encouraged and will be highlighted as Methodological Advances. We welcome proposals for Review Papers synthesizing a specific field within marine ecology. Finally, the journal aims to publish Special Issues at regular intervals synthesizing a particular field of marine science. All printed papers undergo a peer review process before being accepted and will receive a first decision within three months.

《實驗海洋生物學與生態學雜志》為海洋生物及其環境的實驗生態學研究提供了一個論壇。主題領域包括生物化學、生理學、行為學、遺傳學和生態學理論的研究。該雜志的主要重點在于假設驅動的實驗工作，從實驗室和領域。闡明基本生態過程的自然實驗或描述性研究是受歡迎的。提交的研究報告應該有一個廣泛的生態框架，超越特定的研究組織或地理區域。在五頁紙內突出新出現的問題和令人興奮的發現的簡短交流將迅速扭轉局面。鼓勵發表描述重要的新分析、計算、實驗和理論技術和方法的論文，并將作為方法學的進步加以強調。我們歡迎對綜合海洋生態學某一特定領域的論文進行審查的建議。最后，該雜志的目標是定期出版綜合海洋科學某一特定領域的特刊。所有印刷的論文在被接受前都要經過同行評審，并將在三個月內收到第一個決定。
