About this e-journal

Scope and aims

The Pacific States Electronic-journal of Scientific Visualizations (PSESV) has been developed to provide an avenue for the publication of electronic scientific visualizations of fisheries related data relevant to the region serviced by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) and in line with its mission. PSESV will publish original visualizations of scientific data that aim to improve communication among scientists, managers, and other stakeholders on fisheries related topics. Like the mission of the PSMFC the scope of this journal will be broad, providing a venue to publish visualizations on subjects ranging from fisheries oceanography to socio-economics.
