The history of theJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdomand the influence of the publication on marine research
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The origin and development of theJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdomis described on the occasion of the publication of the 100th volume. Papers in the Journal demonstrate how the techniques and approaches to the study of the marine environment have evolved over the 120 years of publication. The early papers provided a baseline description of the marine environment and of marine communities that allowed the effects of later perturbations of the environment to be determined. Both the early papers and the long time series of records have proved to be particularly relevant as marine scientists try to predict the long-term results of climatic and anthropogenic effects on the marine ecosystem. The Journal has now become increasingly international, with most papers coming from outside Europe.
