All manuscripts submitted to JMEAS must be original, scientifically and technically sound, and relevant to one or more of the journal’s subject areas. Submissions are subject to editorial assessment and, where applicable, peer review in accordance with the journal’s editorial policies.
The journal welcomes the following types of manuscripts:
1. Original Research Articles
Original Research Articles report novel and significant findings from theoretical, experimental, field-based, computational, or applied research within the scope of the journal. Manuscripts should clearly present the research objectives, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions, and demonstrate a meaningful contribution to the advancement of engineering, technology, or their applications in marine, aquaculture, fisheries, and aquatic systems.
We have no restriction on article length, but please keep your paper concise. We therefore recommend that research papers do not exceed 8,000 words from introduction to conclusion (not including references). We also recommend including no more than 8 tables and figures combined - additional tables and figures can be submitted as supplementary material.
2. Review Articles
Review Articles provide comprehensive and critical assessments of current knowledge, technological advances, emerging trends, and research gaps in topics relevant to the journal. Reviews should critically synthesize the existing literature, identify key challenges and opportunities, and provide new insights or directions for future research and technological development.
We have no restriction on article length, but please keep your paper concise. It is recommended that review articles should not exceed 10,000 words from introduction to conclusion (not including references).
3. Short Communications
Short Communications present concise reports of novel, significant, or timely research findings that warrant rapid dissemination. They may include innovative concepts, preliminary but well-supported findings, new applications, or focused technological developments. Manuscripts should provide sufficient scientific or technical evidence to support their conclusions.
4. Technical Notes
Technical Notes describe innovative methods, engineering designs, technological solutions, equipment, systems, analytical or computational methods, prototypes, or improvements to existing technologies relevant to the journal’s scope. Particular emphasis should be placed on technical novelty, validation, applicability, performance, and potential practical benefits.
