Advances in Oceanography and Limnology


Advances in Oceanography and Limnology (AIOL Journal) is the official publication of the Italian Association of Limnology and Oceanology (A.I.O.L.).

The AIOL Journal publishes original research articles and reviews on different topics and novel discoveries in the fields of limnology and oceanography. Papers may deal with different or single physical, chemical and biological aspects, including biomolecules, populations and communities, ecosystem functioning and interactions between global change and ecosystems. Environmental monitoring and studies of regional importance will be considered only if they contribute to the general advance of aquatic sciences. Multidisciplinary articles linking different scientific disciplines (e.g., community ecology and metabolomic/toxicology, ecology and phylogenetic, water quality and economy…) are equally considered. Particularly welcomed are studies focusing on marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Two regular issues of the Advances in Oceanography and Limnology are published each year. In addition, Special Issues and Proceedings that focus on topics that are timely and of interest to a significant number of aquatic scientists are published. From 2010 to 2014, previous issues of the AIOL Journal have been published by Taylor&Francis.

The Journal is indexed in Scopus, Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS previews, Zoological Record, DOAJ. Scimago, Q1 in Aquatic Science

The Journal is open access and is supported by the Associazione Italiana di Oceanologia e Limnologia and the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Napoli. The AIOL Journal does not apply charge for publication to Authors.
