About the journal
|
Biomass and Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy, food and materials.
Key areas covered by the journal:
?Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition
?Biological Residues: wastes from agricultural production and forestry, processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW)
?Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
?Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
?Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy. The journal also features book reviews, reports on conferences, details of forthcoming meetings, letters to the editor and special interest topics.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript and figures with two copies to any one of the following Editors:
Professor C.P. Mitchell, University of Aberdeen, College of Physical Sciences, Fraser Noble Building, Kings College, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, UK;
Dr R.P. Overend, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Chemistry for Bioenergy Systems, 1617 Cole Boulevard, MC-1613, Golden, CO 80401-3393, USA.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Papers should be written in English.
Types of Contribution
These may take the form of research papers describing original studies (4000 to 6000 words), shorter technical notes and short communications (600 to 2000 words), state-of-the-art reviews, and topical reports. Society news and reviews of publications in this field are also accepted.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Abstracts: An abstract (not exceeding 250 words) is required at the beginning of each paper (not technical notes and other notes). Abstracts should complete in themselves as possible. Conclusions should be summarized as well as the methods used, since abstracts are frequently quoted verbatim in abstracting journals. Abstracts should include not more than 10 keys words which reflect the entries the author would like to see in an index.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
Units: The use of S. I. units (Systeme Internationale d'Unites) in papers is mandatory. The author should also provide alternate units in parentheses for the convenience of those readers who are not yet fluent in the use of S. I. Units.
Symbols: Explain ambiguous or uncommon symbols by making marginal notes in pencil. Avoid double superscripts or subscripts as well as superscripts attached to the same symbol. Indicate vectors by placing a wavy line under the symbol. Do not underline any other symbols or use underlining as part of a symbol. When the number e is modified by a complicated exponent use the symbol exp.
Mathematical Symbols and Formulae: Authors should attempt to visualize mathematical expressions as they will appear in print. From the standpoints of readability and printing costs, formulae should be composed carefully and with the utmost economy. Some general rules are:
a) The numbers which identify equations are to be placed at the right-hand margin in parentheses, with out use of the word "equation".
b) Explain ambiguous or uncommon symbols by making marginal notes in pencil.
c) Double-line fractions should not be used in the body of the text. To indicate such fractions, use the solids (/), the negative exponent, or the division sign; thus, use a/b or ab1, or ab1, or a  b. Double-line fractions should be avoided also in centred equations if they can be expressed conveniently by any of the methods just noted and the resulting equation will appear on only one line.
d) The radical sign should be avoided. To indicate roots, use a fractional positive or negative exponent.
e) Avoid double superscripts or subscripts as well as superscripts attached to the same symbol.
f) Indicate vectors by placing a wavy line under the symbol. Do not underline any other symbols or use underlining as part of a symbol.
g) When the number e is modified by a complicated exponent use the symbol exp.
h) Negative exponents rather than the solidus are to be used in statement of units (e.g. cm s1 not cm/s).
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Since Raneses[1]), and the full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper.
References should be given in the following form:
1. Raneses A, Hanson K, Shapouri H. Economic impacts from shifting cropland use from food to fuel. Biomass Bioenergy 1998, 15(6), 417-422.
2. Thomsen A. Manual and automated TDR measurements. In: Petersen LW, Jacobsen OH, (Eds). Proceedings of the symposium: Time Domaine Reflectrometry. Application in soil science. SP-report No. 11. Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Tjele, Denmark, 1995. p. 25-33.
3. Le Biossonnais Y, Singer MJ, Bradford JM. Assessment of soil erodibility: the relationship between soil properties, erosion processes and susceptibility to erosion. In: Wicherrek S, editor. Farm land erosion: in temperate plains and hills. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science, 1993. p. 87-96.
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Colour figures are reproduced free of charge online. Where colour is required in print the author will be charged at the current colour printing costs. Colour figures should be provided in TIFF, EPS or MS Office format, at the correct resolution and in RGB colourspace. For colour online and black & white in print, both colour and black & white artwork should be provided.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Appendix: Mathematical analyses with details which are subordinate to the main theme of the paper should normally be put into an appendix.
Supplementary files: Supplementary files such as supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets and sound clips can be considered for publication online. Supplementary files will be subject to peer review and if accepted will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article. For detailed instructions on acceptable formats, see 'Multimedia Files' on http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
