About MarSci

MarSci is an inter-institutional venue for publishing undergraduate research manuscripts pertaining to the

marine and aquatic sciences. Students interested in writing a manuscript based on their undergraduate research

experience, as well as research advisors to undergraduates, should find MarSci to be the perfect opportunity for

undergraduates to engage in the process of submission and publication, a unique learning experience that is not

typically available to most undergraduate scientists.

The new MarSci is now more accessible online and the entire issue can be downloaded and shared with only a single click. The editors hope that these improvements make the journal more professional and attract more student contributors.

MarSci is looking for diverse submissions from ANY student at ANY institution. Future issues will feature research manuscripts, posters and abstracts, student articles, words of advice from faculty members, and upcoming deadlines and events (undergraduate research programs and student-friendly conferences). This format encourages the submission of any undergraduate researching in the fields of marine and aquatic sciences. Students can submit work from completed projects and works-in-progress in any form listed. It will be more widely distributed for students to share their experiences.

The mission of MarSci is to:

1. provide a first-time publication experience for undergraduates
2. introduce undergraduates to the world of scientific journalism
3. inform interested students of potential research opportunities
