Journal Title：Continental Shelf Research

Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:

Physical sedimentology and geomorphology

Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)

Marine environment and anthropogenic effects

Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features

Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology

Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health

Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)

Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles

Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.

《大陸架研究》發(fā)表的文章涉及淺海環(huán)境的生物、化學、地質(zhì)和物理海洋學，從沿海和河口水域到大陸架斷裂處。大陸架是陸地-海洋連續(xù)體中的關(guān)鍵環(huán)境，大陸架中的許多過程、功能和問題都是由通過河流和河口輸送到沿海和大陸架地區(qū)的陸地輸入物驅(qū)動的。涉及這些主題的稿件必須明確與大陸架有關(guān)。研究領(lǐng)域示例包括：

物理沉積學和地貌學

沿海海洋地球化學（無機和有機）

海洋環(huán)境和人為影響

物理動力學與自然和人造海岸線特征的相互作用

底棲、浮游植物和浮游動物生態(tài)學

沿海水和沉積物質(zhì)量以及生態(tài)系統(tǒng)健康

底棲-遠洋耦合（物理和生物地球化學）

物理動力學（波浪、洋流、混合等）與生物地球化學循環(huán)之間的相互作用

河口、沿海和陸架海建模和過程研究。

Continental Shelf Research創(chuàng)刊于1982年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋地學 - 海洋學全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約1.0個月 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
