The editorial, publication and review policies of all DBU journals are vital to maintaining the overall quality of the journal for which we are known and respected. The policy stipulates the responsibilities and rights of authors, editors, and peer reviewers among other salient issues covered in it. It also sets forth conditions of misconduct, manuscript deadlines, and the amount of honorarium for editorial purposes.

Editorial and publication policies

Submission policies

The primary affiliation for each author should be the institution where the majority of their work was done. If an author has subsequently moved, the current address may also be stated. Our DBU journals remain neutral concerning jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

If the manuscript includes personal communications, please provide a written statement of permission from any person who is quoted. Permission by email is acceptable.

We reserve the right to reject a paper even after it has been accepted if it becomes apparent that there are serious problems with its scientific content, or our publishing policies have been violated.
