Limnology and Oceanography
Journal Description:
Limnology 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.
