Abstract
CORTES, Jorge and NIELSEN, Vanessa. Las ciencias del mar en la Revista de Biología Tropical en su 50 aniversario. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2002, vol.50, n.3-4, pp.903-907. ISSN 0034-7744.
The first paper published in the Revista de Biología Tropical (RBT) on anything related to marine science was in 1963. Since then the number of marine-related papers has increased to 637, which represents 27% of the total production of RBT (excluding the Supplements), and 33% since 1979. Most publications are Full Articles on Ecology (135 papers). The marine ecosystem of which there is more publications is the coral reefs (28); and fish is the most studied taxonomic group (165). Almost half of the Supplements are marine related (12). The RBT must continue its efforts to maintain itself as a leading marine science publication in Latin America.
