From 23.03.2021 the scientific Journal of Oceanological Research was included in the List of peer-reviewed scientific publications (under number 1584), in which the main scientific results of dissertations for the degree of candidate of science, for the degree of doctor of sciences should be published.

The requirements for peer-reviewed publications and the rules for the formation of their list are established by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation on the basis of the recommendations of the Higher Attestation Commission. The list is formed in order to improve the quality of dissertation research by developing a mechanism for professional and public discussion of their scientific results.

Congratulations to the editorial board, reviewers and authors of the Journal of Oceanological Research, the administration and staff of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of RAS with a high assessment of the hard work on the creation and promotion of an authoritative scientific publication!

The journal is certified for 28 scientific specialties!

The first issues of Oceanological Research (1959) were devoted to the results of the International Geophysical Year. All subsequent issues of the journal were, as a rule, devoted to the results of research on international projects. The issues of "Journal of Oceanological Research" ended in 1993 with the last 44th volume.

In 2017, the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of RAS decided to publish its own electronic journal. In agreement with the National Geophysical Committee of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it was decided to continue the issues of Oceanological Research, that is, to publish a new journal, continuing a series of early publications. The first issue of volume 45 was published in December 2017, over the next 3 years another 12 issues of the magazine were published.
