Phycologia is published bimonthly by the
International Phycological Society and serves as a publishing medium for information about any aspect of phycology. Membership in the Society is not necessary for publication. Submitted manuscripts cannot be previously published or submitted elsewhere. Copyright ownership of all accepted papers is held by the International Phycological Society.
Peer Review Policy: Two or more referees, an Associate Editor and the Editor-in-Chief usually review each manuscript. However, if a manuscript fails to meet the criteria and standards for Phycologia, it may be rejected without review. Referees evaluate the following: (1) international significance and scientific merit, (2) accuracy and logic, (3) clarity, conciseness, and organization, and (4) quality, value and integration of photographs, graphs, and tables. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision for all submissions. Manuscripts must be prepared according to journal instructions.
