Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper.

    The authors are advised to make comprehensive review of the scientific literature and appropriately cite related work published by the BCSE.

    3.3 Formulas, Schemes, Figures and Tables should be drawn using appropriate software and should be placed within the main body of the manuscript. They may be drawn in 1.5 times the size finally required. The font size of lettering on Figures should ensure that reductions of ca 70% would still result in easily readable sizes. The widths of Tables and Figures should not exceed 5 inches (12.5 cm) in the published version. Legends should be typed below the Figures and should not be grouped with the Figures. 

  • All tables and figures have been numbered and labeled.

           The total number of Schemes, Tables, and Figures should not exceed 10

  • Permission has been obtained to publish all photos, datasets and other material provided with this submission.
