The Marine Biologist Magazine

Articles should be original and informative, and written for a wide audience that includes academics, students, interested amateurs, and young people. The writing style for the magazine should be concise, but much less formal than that of a scientific paper. We ask that contributors write in the first person, use straightforward language, and avoid jargon. At the same time we welcome depth and detail on science, scientific techniques, and so forth where it is appropriate. 

A two-page feature for The Marine Biologist magazine is 850 words in length. Shorter pieces (up to 400 words) are also welcome. 

Stories should be supported by representative, colourful images or graphics. The magazine is widely distributed, and authors will need to own the copyright of images they submit or have written permission from the copyright owner to use them.
