- It takes at least 7-18 months to produce one
- SIB publication consists of five benchmarks
For Proceedings, Collection or Festschrift, the first two benchmarks of the listed five are void
- BE describes subject of the proposed SIB volume
- BE distributes approved CFP to association, college, organization and society websites
- note, from AEQ past experience, in order to publish 20 (twenty) articles
AEQ needs to receive at least 60 (sixty) submissions
- this means CFP, after initial round, may need to be reposted
again and again in 2-3 months intervals
- see submission and publication timeline
- received submissions are reviewed by AEQ staff
- accepted articles are published first in AEQ
- AEQ issue Editorial may include promotion for BE’s upcoming volume
- usually one year later, AEQ asks authors to
update articles for SIB publication
- SIB reviews and recommends submissions for predetermined volume,
assigns ISBN number
- BE approves at least 10-20 articles (or a collection of reports and evaluations).
- BE writes Preface, 300- 1500 words,
volume is published after RIG’s acceptance
- Please note:
- of the 20 approved articles at least 15 must come directly from CFP
- such counting requires BE to secure at least 3 - 5 submissions
a month
- aforesaid benchmarking assures positive progress in volume
production…..
The above three entries do not apply to Proceedings, Collection or Festschrift
Failure to meet benchmarks may force termination of the project.
