Submission. Manuscripts
should be submitted by e-mail (revbiolmar@gmail.com)
in electronic format, addressed to the Editor of Revista de Biología
Marina y Oceanografía (RBMO).
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been
published previously in print or electronic format and are not under consideration
by another publication or electronic medium.
Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter addressed to the Editor
including the following statements: a) the name, professional affiliation
and e-mail address of the corresponding author, b) a declaration that
the manuscript has been approved by all authors, c) names of specialists
who eventually could act as referees, e-mail addresses included; d) previous
submission of the manuscript to another journal, e) acceptance of terms
for publishing charges and fine in the case of manuscript withdrawal before
the publishing process is finished.
Publishing charges. Authors are required to pay US $20.00
or its equivalence in Chilean pesos per printed page once the manuscript
has been accepted for publication and prepared for printing. Color illustrations
imply additional costs to authors. Publishing charges may change without
notice. Special cases are resolved by the Editor.
If a manuscript is withdrawn before the publishing process is finished,
authors must pay US $500.00 or its equivalence in Chilean pesos.
Reception of manuscripts. Corresponding authors are notified
by e-mail, within 48 hours about the manuscript reception.
Editorial and Peer review. Manuscripts submitted for
publication are treated confidentially by all participants in the review
process. All submitted manuscript are reviewed initially by one of the
editors. Only those manuscripts that seem most likely to meet the journal
editorial criteria are sent for formal review. Those manuscripts judged
to be inappropriate for the journal are rejected promptly without external
review.
Our peer review process establishes that authors and referees remain anonymous
to each other.
When an author is directly related to the journal in any way, is automatically
excluded from the review process of that manuscript.
Acceptance of manuscript is decided by the Editor based on the recommendation
of two or more independent referees and the Associates Editors. A manuscript
acceptance requires at least the recommendation for approval of two referees.
The Editor formally informs the corresponding author the acceptance or
rejection of the manuscript. The accepted manuscripts are published in
strict chronological order according to the final acceptance date.
Unauthorized prepublication release of accepted manuscript may result
in rescinding the acceptance and rejecting the paper.
Editing. Accepted manuscripts are edited and returned
to the corresponding author for revision and approval. Authors are responsible
for all statements made in their work, including changes made during editing
and production that are authorized by the corresponding author.

MS preparation. Instructions for the presentation of
a manuscript are found in www.revbiolmar.cl
and www.scielo.cl.
Manuscripts can be written in Spanish or in English. Authors whose native
language is not English are recommended to have their manuscript reviewed
by a professional scientific translator or by a native English speaking
colleague before submitting to the journal.
MS can be prepared as Reviews, Research articles or Research notes. Reviews,
Research articles can be as long as 20 printed pages (ca. 80,000 characters)
and Research notes should not exceed 9 printed pages (ca. 35,000 characters),
including a maximum of three Tables or Figures.
In general, Reviews and Research articles should be organized in the following
order: Title, Short Title, Author (s) name, Affiliation and postal address
of each author, E-mail address of the corresponding author, Resumen, Palabras
clave, Abstract, Key words, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results,
Discussion and/or Conclusions, Acknowledgments, Literature cited, Tables,
Figures. Research notes should begin with a Resumen in Spanish if the
text is in English, or with an Abstract if the text is in Spanish, of
no more than 100 words.
Their organization may or may not be divided into sections as already
indicated for full articles.
The manuscript format should be in Microsoft® Office Word compatible
with Windows XP. Do not submit the manuscript in PDF format.

together with the short title of no more than 50 characters must be provided.
Headings and subheadings should be in separate rows in capital and lower
case letters without indentation.
Scientific names only at the levels of genus, species, and subspecies
should be italicized. When first cited in the text, scientific names of
species should be followed by the authority.
Cover page. The manuscript must include the title of
the paper in Spanish and English, name of the author(s), institution of
affiliation, complete postal address of each author and e-mail of the

Text. Introduction should be concise and the literature
analysis should not exceed what is necessary to explain the thematic background
and purpose of the paper. Materials and methods must be described briefly
or referred to authors when these are not original. New techniques should
be described in detail for their complete understanding. Results and Discussion

Conclusions may be placed in a separate chapter as long as they have not
been included in the Discussion. Acknowledgments must be brief.
References in the text. Must be cited with the author’s
last name followed by the year of publication. When the reference includes
two authors, their names should be separated by an ampersand (&).
If there are three or more authors, the first author’s name should
be followed by et al. References should be ordered chronologically
when cited in groups. When the same author has more than one paper in
the same year, they should be indicated by a, b, c, etc., after the year.
Examples:
According to Riley & Chester (1971), Menzel (1974), Braun et
al. (1977) and (Caperon 1986, Ibáñez 1990, González
et al. 1994a,b)....
Electronic references can be included in the text. References such as
«results to be published», «personal communication»,
meetings abstracts or institutional private reports, etc. , must be included
if only they are relevant to the manuscript, cited always as footnotes,
indicating as appropriate: author (s), title, editorial information, availability,
institutional address, net access (URL), etc. Footnotes must be numbered
sequentially throughout the manuscript. Free access texts should be included
in Literature cited.
Literature cited. Only references mentioned in the text
must be included, organized by strict alphabetic order, beginning by the
author’s last name, followed by the initials of the first and middle
names without dots and/or commas. If a reference has
coauthors, the second and following authors’ initials should precede
their last names and to separate the authors’ names with comma except
the last coauthors that separate with ampersand (&). References should
be listed by the same first author in the following order: one author,
chronologically; two or more coauthors must be listed by the increasing
number of coauthors, then alphabetically by their last names and, chronologically.
In each reference, the authors and the year must be in boldface but not
the dot after the year. The names of publications should be cited in full,
not abbreviated, underline and not in italics. The following examples
will serve as a reference, including symbols and punctuation:
