History

The journal was established in 1931 as the Bulletin for the Association for the Promotion of Polar Research - Kiel. [2] The title page reported on the death of Alfred Wegener in Greenland. Until 1940, after which spending increased, eight-page issues were published biannually. In 1959 a scientific advisory board was formed. In the 1970s, the separation of news and communications from peer-reviewed original research articles resulted in its change from a newsletter to a scientific journal. [2] Between 1986 and 2010, three issues were published annually. From 2011, the number of issues per year was again reduced to two. In 2018, discussions began with Copernicus Publications to collaborate on future issues of the journal.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, [4] Chemical Abstracts Service, [5] Scopus (with some interruptions; discontinued in 2021), [6] and The Zoological Record. [7]
