Founded in 1965, the Journal of Phycology is a premier journal of research on phycology. The Journal covers all aspects of basic and applied research on algae to provide a common medium for the ecologist, physiologist, cell biologist, molecular biologist, morphologist, oceanographer, taxonomist, geneticist, and biochemist. The Journal also welcomes research that emphasizes algal interactions with other organisms and the roles of algae as components of natural ecosystems.

The Journal of Phycology is an official publication of the Phycological Society of America (PSA).

PSA is the leading scientific organization seeking to promote phycology (the study of algae), and foster phycological research and education. Members represent a diverse variety of scientists and practitioners in the field of phycology.
