PICES regularly publishes various types of general, scientific, and technical information in the following publications: PICES ANNUAL REPORTS – are major JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES – are peer- products of PICES Annual Meetings which reviewed publications resulting from symposia document the administrative and scientific activities and Annual Meeting scientific sessions and 2012 41, No. SCIENTIFIC REPORT PICES of the Organization, and its formal decisions, by workshops that are published in conjunction with calendar year. commercial scientific journals. PICES SCIENTIFIC REPORTS – include BOOKS – are peer-reviewed, journal-quality proceedings of PICES workshops, final reports of publications of broad interest. PICES expert groups, data reports and planning reports. PICES PRESS – is a semi-annual newsletter providing timely updates on the state of the PICES TECHNICAL REPORTS – are on-line ocean/climate in the North Pacific, with highlights of reports published on data/monitoring activities that current research and associated activities of PICES. require frequent updates. ABSTRACT BOOKS – are prepared for PICES SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS – are products that Annual Meetings and symposia (co-)organized by are destined for general or specific audiences. PICES.
