Description
Summary:Kappel discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the magazine. Oceanography has been able to continue operations as usual. The magazine was decades ahead of its time in adopting concepts such as "home office" and "distributed workforce" so unlike other enterprises, they didn't need to adjust to working remotely. The commitment of June 2020 issue authors, reviewers, and guest editors has allowed them to continue publishing, although on a delayed schedule. Oceanography has compensated for the delay by putting all of the special issue articles on its website as early releases as they were completed rather than waiting for full publication of the special issue. This policy will continue indefinitely. The most visible short-term consequence for Oceanography has been publication delays for special issues that were already in the works, behind the scenes, the development of future special issues is at risk.
