Biogeosciences Special Issue

All authors of both oral and poster presentations, are invited to submit full papers to the Special Issue in Biogeosciences (BG). We will post more information on the scope and the timeline for this Special Issue here shortly.
We would ask every author to express their intent of submitting a paper to the BG Special Issue when submitting the extended abstract by email.

We would like to thank all authors for submitting their contributions and while we have worked hard to accomodate as many of the submissions for oral presentation as feasible, this was not possible for all. We hope that for those who intended to give an oral presentation and have received an invitation to present a poster instead, it will still be a welcome opportunity to present their work and engage in the discussions at the conference.

The special issue will be open for initial submissions from 10 April 2011 for a maximum of six months. Given typical delays in bringing papers to submission, we therefore strongly advise you to submit your papers well before 20 July 2011 as a working deadline. To manage paper flow, we would especially welcome papers to be submitted during April-June.

As you may know Biogeosciences, is an open access journal where papers are initially subjected to open review in Biogeosciences Discussions (initial screening review only). As an open access journal, page charges have to be paid once the manuscript is accepted for “Biogeosciences Discussions” (BGD). Subject to satisfactory full peer review, the paper would then be eventually published in Biogeosciences. One of the advantages of this system is that each paper is published as soon as it is accepted for BG, rather than waiting for all the special issue papers to be ready before publication.

To get an idea of the amount and timing of submissions for the BG Special Issue, please fill in this short form at your earliest convenience.
