Contributions will be considered for publication in JBCS if they have not been published previously and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Acceptance of papers for publication is subject to a peer review procedure and is conditional on revisions being made given comments from referees. Details of format for final submission will be provided for accepted papers. Authors must submit the final version in electronic format, and should provide hard-copy versions for refereeing.

Submitted papers are to be written in English and typed double-spaced on one side of white A4 sized paper. Each paper should be no more than 20 pages long, including all text, figures and references. The final manuscript should be approximately 8000 words in length. Submissions will be judged on significance, originality, quality and clarity. Reviewing will be blind to the identities of the authors, so the authors should take care not to identify themselves in the paper:

* The submitted article should contain only the article title and a short abstract. Authors names, affiliations, and the complete mailing address (both postal and email) of the person to whom correspondence should be sent, should be included in an accompanying letter.

* No acknowledgment should be included (it can be included in the final version of the paper).

* There should be no reference to unpublished work by the authors (thesis, working papers). These references can be included in the final version of the paper.

* When referring to one's own work, use the third person. For example, say "previously, [Peter1993] has shown that ...", instead of "the author [Peter1993] has shown that ..."

All contributions will be acknowledged and refereed.
