Peer Review Process
BCS will publish the only paper strictly following BCS guidelines and manuscript preparation. Those papers are read by editorial members (upon field of specialization) and will be screened by Managing Editor to meet necessary criteria of BCS publication. Manuscripts will be sent to two peer-reviewers based on their historical experience in reviewing manuscript or based on their field of specialization. BCS has reviewing forms in order to keep same items reviewed by two reviewers. Then editorial board will make a decision upon the reviewers comments or advice. Reviewers will give their assessment on originality, clarity of presentation, contribution to the field/science, BCS has four kind of decisions:.
- Accepted, as it is
- Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
