John Wiley and Sons Inc. announced today its selection by the
Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) to
publish their highly regarded portfolio of journals focused on marine

Effective January 2015, Wiley will assume publishing responsibility for
ASLO’s top-ranked academic journals, Limnology & Oceanography and
Limnology & Oceanography: Methods, as well as its newsletter, Limnology
& Oceanography Bulletin, and digital lecture series, Limnology
& Oceanography e-Lectures. Wiley will also host the Associations
former publication, Limnology & Oceanography: Fluids and

“ASLO is extremely pleased to join in partnership with Wiley,” said
James J. Elser, President. “This is an important step in the strategic
development of our entire publications portfolio. Wiley’s long and
distinguished history of partnering with scholarly societies, and their
commitment to dissemination and discoverability of scientific research,
make this an ideal collaboration, poising ASLO to better navigate the
very significant changes and challenges in scholarly publishing. This
will offer immediate and significant benefits to ASLO’s members,
editors, reviewers, and authors. This is a key piece of what I have
described to our members as ‘ASLO 2.0’, an ASLO that can better meet the
pressing research, training, and policy demands that surround water in
the 21st Century.”
The partnership will enable the growth of ASLO’s journal portfolio
worldwide and expand services for ASLO members, readers, authors and
editors. The ASLO community will also benefit from Wiley’s enhanced
