Authorship

All the named authors have agreed with the submission, and each author must have contributed sufficiently to the paper. It is not under consideration for publication by any other journals. This work has not been published previously (besides the form of an abstract and some part of a published lecture). If the paper is accepted, it will not subsequently be published elsewhere in any other language without the written consent of publisher.

After submission, any changes to the author list, such as a rearrangement of the order of the authors, or the removal or addition of authors, must be approved by a signed letter from every author. The corresponding author must confirm the reason of the changes. And requests that are sent to the Journal Manager by the corresponding author must be forwarded to the each author.

Ethical responsibilities of authors

For information on ethics in publishing, please see http://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/journal-author-helpdesk/before-you-start/before-you-start/1330

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest

Authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could have direct or potential influence or impart bias on the work. Although an author may not feel there is any conflict, disclosure of relationships and interests provides a more complete and transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work.

Awareness of a real or perceived conflicts of interest is a perspective to which the readers are entitled. This is not meant to imply that a financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research or compensation received for consultancy work is inappropriate.

Examples of potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related to the research may include but are not limited to the following:

● Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)

● Honoraria for speaking at symposia

● Financial support for attending symposia

● Financial support for educational programs

● Employment or consultation

● Support from a project sponsor

● Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships

● Multiple affiliations

● Financial relationships, for example equity ownership or investment interest

● Intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)

● Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work

In addition, interests that go beyond financial interests and compensation (non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may influence your research.

The corresponding author collects the conflict of interest disclosure forms from all authors. In author collaborations where formal agreements for representation allow it, it is sufficient for the corresponding author to sign the disclosure form on behalf of all authors.

Examples of disclosures

The corresponding author will include a summary statement in the text of the manuscript in a separate section before the reference list, that reflects what is recorded in the potential conflict of interest disclosure form(s).

Funding: This study was funded by X (grant number X).

Conflict of Interest: Author A has received research grants from Company A. Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z. If no conflict exists, the authors should state: Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.

Plagiarism

In general, plagiarism can occur in two situations as follow:

(1) Using ideas and more than 7 consecutive words taken verbatim from the text of another publication without citation.

(2) Copying phrases or sentences of another person without putting quotation marks.

JMSA uses CrossChek to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Results may be used as a criterion for the analysis of the manuscript may eventually result in a rejection due to plagiarism, duplicate and/or redundant publication. If plagiarism is found, the journal will contact the author and, in some cases, the affiliations of authors.

CrossChek is a multi-publisher plagiarism detection initiative to screen published and submitted content for originality. You can know more information about CrossCheck by visiting www.crossref.org/crosscheck.html

Peer review policy

Journal of Marine Science and Application adopts a rigorous peer-review procedure. Firstly, CrossCheck ( www.crossref.org/crosscheck.html ) will be used for each manuscript to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism and protect the original authors’ copyrights, typically within 3 working days. Then, all contributions will be sent at least two independent reviewers immediately after the first check. The editors will try their best to make final decisions on these papers within 6 weeks of the submission data. The identity of reviewers is confidential and manuscripts are considered private information. Authors are encouraged to suggest or recommend for exclusion reviewers when submit. Accepted papers will be normally published in half of a year.

Copyright

When the paper is accepted for publication, all author(s) should sign the Copyright Transfer Statement. It will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive right and license to reproduce, publish, distribute and archive the article in all forms and media of expression now known or developed in the future, including reprints, translations, photographic reproductions, microform, electronic form (offline, online) or any other reproductions of similar nature. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Please download the Copyright Transfer Statement[PDF] .

Digital preservation policy

Springer online Journal Archives

Springer has created a comprehensive body of scientific, medical and technical research documentation accessible to scientists, researchers and other professionals. They offer a total of 1.8 million archive records comprising approximately 800 journals formerly published by Kluwer, as well as, all content from Volume I, Issue 1, where available, from both the former Springer-Verlag and Kluwer.

CLOCKKSS

Springer Science+Business Media, publisher of one of the world’s most comprehensive online collections of scientific, technological and medical journals, books and reference works, announces a partnership with the community-governed archive cooperative CLOCKSS to preserve Springer content in the CLOCKSS global archive. Springer publishes over 1,700 journals and more than 5,500 new books a year, as well as the largest STM eBook collection worldwide. Springer is a founding member of CLOCKSS. The CLOCKSS archive allows research libraries and scholarly publishers, who launched CLOCKSS as a pilot program, to preserve and store its electronic content. once ingested, the econtent is kept safe and secure in a dark archive until it is triggered and the CLOCKSS Board determines that the content should be copied from the archive and made freely available to all, regardless of prior subscription.

Local Archive

We use a local facility to store a complete, accurate digital version of papers. The current format standards are .doc and .pdf; with most files being retained in both formats. We ensure that all the volumes published remain available through the digital archive.
