Journal of Plankton Research is an active peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of plankton biology. It was established in 1979 and is published bimonthly by Oxford University Press.

The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on all aspects of plankton biology and ecology. Plankton are microscopic organisms that are critical to the health of aquatic ecosystems, and the journal aims to provide a platform for researchers to publish high-quality research on this important area of study.

The journal covers a wide range of topics related to plankton research, including plankton taxonomy, ecology, physiology, behaviour, and biogeochemistry. The primary focus of the journal is on the biology and ecology of planktonic organisms, including phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria.

In addition to regular research articles, the journal also features a variety of other content types, including methods papers, software papers, and data papers. Methods papers describe new techniques for plankton analysis, while software papers describe new software tools for plankton analysis and interpretation. Data papers provide descriptions of new datasets related to plankton research, such as datasets of plankton abundance or distribution.

The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1988 and 2002.
