Scientific articles
Scientific and research articles are handled according to the process described below. It is the scientific advisory council that is responsible for the peer-reviewing.
A prerequisite for publishing scientific articles in the BW is that the article not already be published in English elsewhere. All material is reviewed by specialists. If an article is simultaneously being considered by another publication, this should be indicated. Before you send in your article, read our Style Guide and follow the instructions – which include information for people writing in all languages.
When you send in your scientific article, you should:
1. Send in your text, which should not exceed 5,000 words or 42,000 characters. Abstracts are not published. Graphs and tables are published only in exceptional cases. Indicate the title only on the first page of the article.
2. Indicate the title of the article, name(s) of the author(s), and the address to which the editorial staff should send correspondence on a separate page. The Editorial Board sends each article to two anonymous, independent reviewers for independent assessment, and the author’s name should not appear in the version sent to these reviewers.
3. Give a brief description of yourself separately, with title, subject area, and any work and/or activities that might be of relevance.
Send your article, author information, and contact information as an attachment in the form below.
The journal is published quarterly, in March, June, September, and December. For editorial assessment and peer-review, and translation or proofreading, at least three months are normally needed.
