Aims and Scope

Algae, as the most diverse and productive biological taxonomic group on the planet, encompass a myriad of species with significant ecological and evolutionary importance. The journal Algae is dedicated to serving as a leading platform for advancing the field of algal ecology and evolution. With a focus on timely dissemination of the latest research results and fostering a virtuous cycle of knowledge exchange, Algae aims to make substantial contributions to the development of phycology as a whole.

Algae aims to be an authoritative publication in the field of algal ecology and evolution, with an inclusive scope encompassing ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity, taxonomy, physiology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology, and applied research. Through the rapid dissemination of cutting-edge research and a commitment to facilitating a virtuous cycle of information exchange, we aspire to significantly contribute to the progress and development of phycology as a flourishing discipline. Researchers worldwide are invited to join us on this journey of discovery and conservation of the most diverse and productive biological taxonomic group on Earth - the algae.
