Author Guidelines

 

  1. Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Comptes rendus de l’Académie bulgare des Sciences) publishes peer reviewed short reports of original scientific results in the field of mathematical, physical, chemical, biological, medical, Earth and life sciences, as well as engineering, forest and agrarian sciences. The papers should not be of a descriptive or polemical character and should contain only unpublished results in the respective scientific field. They can further be expanded to be published elsewhere. Manuscripts should be written in English and should not exceed 8 standard typewritten pages (16 000 characters) including figures and tables (not more than 4).
  2. Comptes rendus also publishes Concise Review Papers (short surveys) at the invitation of the Editorial Board. The short surveys should reflect the latest achievements in a given field of knowledge. They should be presented in the form of a report according to the requirements of the journal not exceeding 20 standard pages.
  3. Manuscripts (text of the article, abstract, key words, figures and tables) should be sent in PDF format to the e-mail address of the editorial office – comprend@abv.bg, along with a cover letter with the name, address and telephone number of the corresponding author.
  4. Each paper accepted for publication should be submitted for printing by a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Member of BAS or Corresponding Member).
  5. After approval of the manuscript, the corresponding author should send the following files to the editorial office:
  • File with the text of the article in MS WORD format or TeX (LaTeX, AMS-TeX).
  • Files with tables (in the same formats) – each table should be presented in a separate file. The International System of Units (SI) should be used.
  • Separate files for each graph, illustration and photograph (format TIF, JPEG). Graphs, illustrations and photographs are indicated in the text as figures, abbreviated „Fig.xx“.

  • For more details on the preparation of files and other requirements, please, visit the webpage of the journal www.proceedings.bas.bg
  1. References should contain up to 20 cited works arranged according to their order of appearance in the text. If the authors are more than 5, the report lists the top five, after which et al. is added.

For books – name of the author(s), year of publication, the title, the city of publication, and the publisher followed by pages. References should be indicated in the text by giving the corresponding numbers in parentheses.
