MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN

Marine Pollution Bulletin is concerned with the rational use of maritime and marine resources in estuaries, the seas and oceans, as well as with documenting marine pollution and introducing new forms of measurement and analysis. A wide range of topics are discussed as news, comment, reviews and research reports, not only on effluent disposal and pollution control, but also on the management, economic aspects and protection of the marine environment in general.A distinctive feature of Marine Pollution Bulletin is the number of different categories of articles which are published.'Research Papers' form the core of the journal, with a maximum of 10000 words. Guidelines for the preparation of such papers are given under the section "preparation (hyperlink to the section)" below. 'Baselines' document measurements which are expected to have value in the future. Baseline manuscripts are less than 5000 words, contain an abstract and keywords, brief introductory remarks and discussion but do not have sections or subsections. 'Short communication' are short research papers of less than 4000 words, and a maximum of 3 Figures or Tables.'Reviews' / 'Short reviews' are generally invited by the editors on subjects which cross traditional lines, but suggestions for topics are welcomed. There are less than 20000 words (Reviews) or 8000 words (short reviews).'Viewpoints' are a less formal forum for scientists to comment freely on matters of relevant national and international importance. Other sections of the bulletin include 'News', 'New Products', 'Conference Reports', 'Conference Diary', 'Correspondence' and 'Book Reviews'.Two volumes are published annually, one of which contains a series of special issues on topics of particular current interest. The importance and influence of these special issues, which address the major marine environmental concerns of our time, is increasingly being recognised not just by the wider scientific community, but also by environmental policy makers at national and international level.

《海洋污染公报》涉及河口、海洋和海洋资源的合理利用，以及记录海洋污染和介绍新的测量和分析方法。会议以新闻、评论、评论和研究报告的形式讨论广泛的议题，不仅讨论废水处理和污染控制，而且讨论一般海洋环境的管理、经济和保护。《海洋污染公报》的一个显著特点是发表了不同类别的文章。“研究论文”是期刊的核心，最多10000字。编写这类文件的准则载于下文“编写(到该节的超链接)”一节。“基线”记录了预期在未来有价值的度量。基线稿件不超过5000字，包含摘要和关键词，简短的引言和讨论，但没有章节或子章节。“短交流”是指少于4000字的研究论文，最多3张图或表。“评论”/“短评论”通常是由编辑邀请的主题，跨越传统的界限，但对主题的建议是受欢迎的。不超过20000字(评论)或8000字(短评论)。“观点”是一个不太正式的论坛，科学家可以在这里自由地评论具有国家和国际重要性的相关问题。公报的其他部分包括“新闻”、“新产品”、“会议报告”、“会议日记”、“通信”和“书评”。每年出版两卷，其中一卷载有一系列关于当前特别感兴趣的专题的特刊。这些特别问题涉及我们这个时代的主要海洋环境问题，它们的重要性和影响不仅日益得到更广泛的科学界的承认，而且也日益得到国家和国际一级环境决策者的承认。
