Ocean Science (OS) is a new international and open access web scientific 
journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of research 
articles, short communications and review papers on all aspects of ocean 
science, experimental, theoretical and laboratory. The primary objective 
is to publish a very high quality scientific journal with free web based 
access for researchers and other interested people throughout the world.

Electronic submission of articles is used to keep publication costs to a 
minimum. The costs will be covered by a small page charge paid by the 
authors but this will be waived during the first two years of 
publication. The refereeing process also makes use of the web. It 
includes an eight week on-line discussion period with the original 
submitted paper, all comments and, if accepted, the final paper, 
published on-line. For libraries, hard copy volumes containing the final 
papers will be available at minimum cost.

Ocean Science covers the following fields:

     * Ocean Physics (i.e. ocean structure, circulation, tides and 
internal waves)
     * Ocean Chemistry
     * Biological Oceanography
     * Air-Sea Interactions
     * Ocean Models, physical, chemical and biological and biochemical
     * Coastal and shelf edge processes
     * Paleooceanography
