History

• Volume 1, number 1 appeared in 1979, with early papers on thermal stresses in concrete ocean structures, a submerged-cylinder wave energy device and the stability of a dragged anchor.第 1 卷第 1 期于 1979 年出版，早期论文涉及混凝土海洋结构的温度应力、沉没圆柱波能装置与拖曳锚的稳定性。
• Its volume count has grown steadily, from a single volume in 2011 to eight volumes in 2022 and twelve in 2024, when issues gave way to article-level numbering.卷数持续增长，2011 年仅 1 卷，2022 年增至 8 卷，2024 年达 12 卷，并按篇编号取代了期次编号。
• In July 2024 the journal announced its move to gold open access, and every article is now free to read under an article publishing charge of USD 3,380 before tax.2024 年 7 月，本刊宣布转为金色开放获取，现全部论文免费阅读，文章出版费为税前 3380 美元。
• A widened scope was announced in March 2025, and the aims now name emerging methods in modelling and field research among the core topics.2025 年 3 月公布扩容后的收稿范围，现行宗旨已把模拟与现场研究的新兴方法列为核心方向。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.1, against 4.4 in 2024, 3.761 in 2022 and 2.979 in 2021, and the CiteScore stands at 8.1.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.1，2024 年为 4.4，2022 年为 3.761，2021 年为 2.979，引用分（CiteScore）为 8.1。
• It ranks Q1 in oceanography at 7 of 67 and Q2 in engineering, ocean at 5 of 18, and is published by Elsevier Ltd from Oxford under ISSN 0141-1187.本刊在海洋学类别位列 Q1，排名 7/67，在海洋工程类别为 Q2，排名 5/18，由（Elsevier Ltd）在牛津出版，印刷版（ISSN）为 0141-1187。

Editors

• Three editors-in-chief share the workload, David R. Fuhrman of the Technical University of Denmark in Kongens Lyngby, Abbas Khayyer of Kyoto University and Pengzhi Lin of Sichuan University in Chengdu.本刊设三位共同主编：丹麦孔恩斯灵比丹麦技术大学的（David R. Fuhrman）、京都大学的（Abbas Khayyer）以及成都四川大学的（Pengzhi Lin）。
• Published turnaround figures give six days from submission to first decision, 53 days to a decision after review, 146 days to acceptance and nine days from acceptance to online publication.官方公布的周期为：投稿到首次决定 6 天，送审后到决定 53 天，到录用 146 天，录用到在线发表 9 天。
• The editors state that purely theoretical papers without application are discouraged, so every submission must argue for the practical importance of its results.编辑部明确不鼓励脱离应用的纯理论论文，每篇投稿都须说明其成果的实际意义。
• Topical collections are commissioned with guest editors, such as a 2026 special issue on computational methods for offshore renewable energy.专题辑由客座编辑组织，例如 2026 年关于海上可再生能源计算方法的专刊。
• The journal also runs an open call for reviewers and lists its full editorial board, so authors can see who handles a given subject area.本刊长期公开招募审稿人，并公布完整编委会名单，作者可据此了解各方向的处理编辑。
