Aims & Scope

ALGAE is published by the Korean Society of Phycology and provides prompt publication of original works on phycology. ALGAE publishes articles on all aspects of phylogenetics and taxonomy, ecology and population biology, physiology and biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and biotechnology and applied phycology. Checklists or equivalent manu-scripts may be considered for publication only if they contribute original information on taxonomy (e.g., new combinations), ecology or biogeography of more than just local relevance. Contributions may take the form of Original Research Articles, Research Notes, Review Articles and Book Reviews.
