American Society of Limnology and OceanographyCONTACT INFORMATION:
Limnology and Oceanography (L&O) is published by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), which traces its roots to the Limnological Society of America (established 1936). Although North American in origin, ASLO is in fact an international society (more than a quarter of the members reside outside of North America). The purposes of ASLO are to promote the interests of limnology, oceanography, and related sciences, to foster the exchange of information across the range of aquatic science, and to further investigations dealing with these subjects. These goals are realized by publishing L&O, holding regular annual meetings, and by sponsoring occasional special symposia about controversial issues in aquatic ecology. JOURNALS INCLUDED IN JSTOR:Limnology and OceanographyLimnology and Oceanography (L&O) has been published annually
since 1956. The unifying theme of L&O is the understanding of aquatic
ecosystems. Submissions are judged on the originality of their data,
interpretations, and ideas, and on the degree to which these can
be generalized beyond the particular aquatic ecosystem examined.
Most L&O papers have a strong empirical component- laboratory and
modeling studies must demonstrate relevance to natural environments;
typically this means that they are bolstered by "real-world" data.
According to the Science Citation Index, L&O is the most frequently
cited journal in the fields of both limnology and oceanography. Journal information provided by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography. |
