Scholarly Reviews
for BioResources Online Journal

BioResources welcomes submission of scholarly review articles that address important issues of lignocellulosic materials usage. Preference is given to reviews that employ a lively, imaginative, and reader-friendly approach. The goal is to render technical material accessible to a wide audience of scientists who may have backgrounds in disparate fields. Review articles are subject to peer review, as in the case of research articles. Detailed formatting instructions, in addition to a 25-page length limit (not including reference section), are provided in the "Author Instructions" (see at left) and in the review "template" that can be downloaded therefrom.

The first issue is planned for July 2006.

Those who are contemplating the possibility of submitting a review article might consider some features of BioResources that may be especially advantageous:

  • The online format of the journal means that there are no page charges and the maximum length of 25 pages allows for articles containing up to about 7500 words. In the case of review articles, the reference section will not be included in the page count.
  • By adopting an "author, year" system of reference citations, it is simpler to keep track of citations, even without use of endnoting software. Also, the scholarly reader can immediately know whether you are citing an aritcle with which they are familiar.
  • The format for the references has an expanded form, including titles, as well as issue numbers and final page numbers. This can be an advantage for those who need to track down copies of hard-to-find materials.
  • Due to the open-access nature of BioResources, as well as our usage of database harvesters, your scholarly work will have high visibility with web users as well as with those who are employing scientific database searches.
