After an initial screening for safety and appropriateness, submissions to BEoN are posted anonymously. Anonymous reviewers use an online rubric to guide their review of the submission. Authors, if they so choose, may revise the material before it moves to the second, more traditional peer review where invited specialists review using the posted rubric. At this point, submissions meeting the standards posted and recommended for publication by reviewers will be accepted for publication in BEoN, part of the National Science Digital Library. Since BEoN is an online journal, we are not limited by 'page count' or format.
Submissions are welcome regardless of academic, institutional or organizational affiliation.
All submissions meeting published quality standards and approval by reviewers will be accepted. All material submitted will be linked to meta data which will make the resource readily accessible via search engines. In addition, the BEoN site will have its own search feature which will enable users to find materials by grade level, content, author.
