Manuscripts should have a cover page with the author's name, address, and affiliation. No other pages should contain information about the author. A fifty to one hundred word abstract should appear on the second page. The paper itself should appear on the third page. All manuscripts accepted by JBES for publication must be submitted in Microsoft Word on a floppy disk accompanied by a printout of the article. Complete guidelines for accepted manuscripts will be sent upon acceptance. Some basic guidelines include:

1. Equations: Default settings should be used. Set point size at 10 points, use Arabic numbers flush left in parenthesis.

2. References in the text should be parenthetical references with the author's last name and date of publication. Alphabetical list of reference should be included.

3. Tables should be numbered in Arabic numbers, e.g., Table 1. Columns of the tables should be set using tab stops, not spaces, to align. Tables should be placed at the end of your article and their appropriate placement in the text noted.

4. Figures are numbered similarly to tables, e.g., Figure 1. The author will provide the figures on a disk in a Microsoft Word compatible program.

5. If you need to use footnotes, DO NOT use the endnote or footnote setting in Word. Use superscript numbers to refer to your endnote, which should appear at the end of the article.

6. Sections of the paper, such as INTRODUCTION, should be flush left in all capital letters with one extra line between section thread and text. For example:

INTRODUCTION

Subheads should be in upper and lower case letters, flush left with one extra line above and no extra line below the subhead. For subheads below the first level subhead, indent on tab for the second level subhead. Please limit subheads to no more than two.

7. Do not use headers or footers or page breaks in your paper.

8. JBES reserves the right to edit all accepted papers.
