In addition, its description of detail is devoid of jargon. In each issue, this bimonthly journal includes several critical surveys of specific topics of current interest. Topics are selected on the advice of an Advisory Board of outstanding scientists, who also suggest authors of special competence. Topics chosen are broad enough to interest a wide audience of readers, yet narrow enough to be within the competence of a single author. Authors are chosen for their perceptiveness, imagination, and ability to communicate. Unsolicited manuscripts are considered, and the Editor welcomes suggestions on topics. www.informaworld.com/bbmg |
