Submission Guidelines

【官网信息】

Updated April 1, 2025

Ocean

(the Journal) is an international peer-reviewed journal that serves as a

multidisciplinary platform for the state-of-the-art research and

practice in the domains of ocean science, technology, and engineering.

The

Journal accepts only submissions received through Manuscript Central;

authors can track the status of their submissions through the same site.

The Journal’s publisher, Tsinghua University Press is a member of the

Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), adhering to its principles and

guidelines on transparency and trusted publishing. The Journal requires

all submitted authors act under the guidance of COPE. Please review the

editorial policies of the Journal before submitting a paper.

Below is a brief guideline for authors. Please contact the Editorial Office for more information.

New Manuscripts

Types of Manuscripts

Four types of manuscripts are considered:

Research Article: Full-length original articles that report comprehensive research developments, up to 15,000 words

Review:

Review articles that inform readers of the latest research and advances

in ocean related science and technology, up to 15,000 words

Communications: Rapid communications that feature exciting research breakthroughs in the field, up to 8,000 words

Perspectives/Highlights:

Invited submissions only, which comment on topical issues or express

views on the developments in related fields

With the exception of the manuscript types listed above, Editorials are commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Preparing the Manuscript

Editorial

Policies on Authorship and Contribution, Conflict of Interest,

Plagiarism, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Tools,

Overlapping Publications, Data Sharing and Reproducibility, and

Peer-Review Policy should be referenced during manuscript preparation.

The Journal assumes that all listed authors have agreed with the

authorship, agreed with the contents, agreed with publishing in the

Journal under an OA license, obtained consent from the related institute

and subjects, retained the copyright, or obtained permissions from the

copyright holder.

Language: The Journal accepts only manuscripts written in English. Please ensure that your manuscript is easy to read.

Format:

Microsoft Word documents (.doc or .docx) are preferred. Although PDF

format (.pdf) is acceptable for peer review, an editable Word document

is required for copyediting.

Template:

It is recommended that you use the Template for the Journal (see below)

when preparing your manuscript; however, this is not a requirement of

submission. The Journal endorses “Your-paper-Your-way”, which allows

authors to focus more on the scientific quality of the manuscript as

long as the mandatory content in the template appears in the correct

order. However, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1.5 line spacing,

continuous line numbers, and page numbers are strongly recommended to

ensure your manuscript is readable for both reviewers and editors.

Anonymity:

The Journal conducts a prepublication, single-anonymized peer review,

by which the reviewer’s identity is not made visible to the author, the

author’s identity is visible to the reviewer, and the reviewer and

author identities are visible to the (decision-making) editor. Review is

facilitated by the Journal, and the editors mediate all interactions

between reviewers and authors.

Before

submitting your manuscript, please delete all of the unnecessary

instructions and examples from the template. Ensure that all parts of

your manuscript are presented clearly. Manuscripts should be submitted

as at least two documents: that Main Document, and Declarations. If the

submitted manuscript has been released as a preprint, the Journal should

be informed.

Submitting the Manuscript

The

Journal accepts submissions only through Manuscript Central, through

which authors can also track the status of their submissions.

The information and documents below should be prepared for submission:

Manuscript

information (mandatory): article type, title (<50 words), abstract

(<200 words), keywords (3-8 words), specialty area (3-8 areas),

funding (funder’s name and grant number), and conflict of interest.

Authorship

information: every author’s name, e-mail address, prefix, contributor

role, institution, address, and order; an ORCID ID is strongly

recommended.

Reviewer information (optional): name, e-mail address, institution, and the reason for recommending or opposing the reviewer;

Documents:

main document (mandatory, nonanonymous, for peer review), declaration

(mandatory, nonanonymous, not for peer review), electronic supplementary

materials (optional, nonanonymous, for peer review or not for peer

review), and high-resolution images/figures/tables (optional,

nonanonymous, for peer review);

Cover

letter (mandatory): addressing the article title, why it is suitable

for inclusion in the Journal, notice of potential conflicts of interest,

and confirmation of manuscript integrity.

Once

a manuscript is prepared for submission, you may begin a new submission

in Manuscript Central, completing each step. Uploaded files must be

placed in the correct order to be shown to the reviewers. Finally, you

must confirm and complete your submission by pressing the Submit button.

The corresponding author will receive a notification e-mail.

Please contact the Editorial Office if you have any problems with submission.

Revised Manuscripts

Preparing the Revised Manuscript

If

your manuscript has received a decision of Minor/Major Revision, you

may choose to revise your manuscript and resubmit as a revision to the

last version of the manuscript or withdraw the manuscript after

informing the Editorial Office. If you choose to revise and resubmit,

make sure to read and consider all of the comments from the reviewers

and the editor.

The information and documents below should be prepared for submission:

Manuscript information, in accordance with the revised manuscript;

Complete

and correct authorship information; if changes to authorship are

required, the Editorial Office must be informed by submitting a Change

of Authorship Request form (see below) with the revision;

Documents, including the revised manuscript and other materials with both tracked changes and clean copies;

Response

to reviewers, including a separate document that includes

point-by-point responses to the reviewers’ comments indicating the

revisions.

Submitting the Revision

Authors

can log in to Manuscript Central and begin a revision task by linking

to a manuscript with a revision decision. All information and documents

that were submitted during the first-round submission will be

automatically filled in. Make sure that all information correctly

matches the revised manuscript, and remove the previous document if it

needs to be replaced. The response to reviewers should be uploaded as

the first document as it must appear in the very first for peer review.

After completing all step-by-step procedures, similar to submitting a

new manuscript, you will confirm and complete the submission by pressing

the Submit button.

After Acceptance

Proofreading

An

article will receive a DOI and article number once it is posted online

as “Just Accepted” before copyediting and typesetting. After the

manuscript receives a technical check and edit by in-house editors and

undergoes typesetting, it will be sent back to the authors for

proofreading. The article must be confirmed by the authors before it is

officially published.

The

authors should carefully check the entirety of their manuscript and

correct any mistakes. The Editorial Office will review all corrections

and determine whether they should be executed (technical mistakes),

reviewed by scientific editors (scientific mistakes), or

investigated/refused (integrity risks).

Post-publication Correction

If

the authors have concerns about their published content, they can raise

a correction request to the Editorial Office. The Editorial Office will

review the request and react according to the Editorial

Policies—Corrections and Retractions.

Appeals

Authors

may raise appeals over the conduct of editors and/or peer reviewers or

pre-/post-publication decisions. Authors can send their appeals to the

Editorial Office or personally to the Editor-in-Chief. Substantial

evidence or new information must be presented. Appeals without any

evidence will be ignored. Only one appeal will be considered per

manuscript, and the Editor-in-Chief’s decision regarding the appeal is

final. See also Editorial Policies—Appeals and Complaints.

Copyright and Permissions

All

articles published in the Journal are copyrighted to the authors (©The

Authors). The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

license is applied to all articles published in the Journal by default,

which permits use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium,

provided the original work is properly cited. If the authors are

requested to publish their works under the other licenses by their

institution or the funder, they should consult the Editorial Office

before submission. The authors will receive an e-mail request to sign a

license to publish (below is an example). See also Editorial

Policies—Copyright and Permissions.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

Cost

occurs in every aspect of academic publishing. To ensure the

sustainability and quality of the publishing services, the article

processing charge (APC) is charged for Open Access journals instead of

the subscription fee. The Journal is an Open Access journal funded by

Tsinghua University and Tsinghua University Press. The APC for Open

Access publication is waived for authors before December 31, 2026

(submission time). See also Editorial Policies—Article Processing Charge

(APC).
