Deep Sea Research is a peer-reviewed academic journal of deep sea research.

In 1962, it renamed itself Deep Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts, and returned to the Deep Sea Research title in 1977.

In 1978, it split into two journals Deep Sea Research Part A: Oceanographic Research Papers and Deep Sea Research Part B: Oceanographic Literature Review.

In 1993, Part A split into Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers and Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, while Part B was discontinued.

Part I is edited by Jiasong Fang and Imants G. Priede, while Part II is edited by Javier Arístegui and Kenneth Drinkwater.
