References and compound numbers should not be mentioned in the Abstract. Maximum five keywords should follow the Abstract. Aims – should include brief and clear remarks outlining the specific purpose of the work. Background – a short summary of the background material including numbered references. Experimental – should be sufficiently detailed (but concise) to guarantee reproducibility. Results and Discussion – should indicate the logic used for the interpretation of data without lengthy speculations. Authors submitting material on purely theoretical problems or on a new experimental technique might unite the sections Experimental, Results and Discussion into one section under the heading Discussion.

References of papers from JEPE journal can help to increase impact factor which is now at 0,838. Thus, it is important to remember to use recent references from JEPE, especially from other authors, while editing your scientific papers, as to avoid self-citation.

Latest Announcement about submissions The International Board of BENA decided regarding JEPE the following: Only BENA members (at least one of the authors), from now on, can submit papers for publication to JEPE (He or she has to pay his/her BENA membership during the year of his/her paper submission).
Rules for Publications from BENA members From January 1st 2013 the International Board of BENA has decided unanimously the following rules for JEPE Publications in order to give possibility to all BENA members to publish their work in JEPE: · 1st Year BENA Member: 1 publication per year · 2nd Year BENA Member: 1 publication per year · 3rd Year BENA Member: 1 publication per year · 4th Year BENA Member: 1 publication per year · 5th and more years BENA Member: up to 2 Publications per year BENA membership has to be renewed each year. New BENA members should take into consideration that their possibility to publish a paper to JEPE becomes active 1 year after their registration, provided the new member will be active (participated to BENA Conference, other activities, etc) during that year.. Paper-citation tracking You can track the pdfs of your papers, published in JEPE and all the citations of your papers in JEPE using the box in the upper right side of the screen labeled "search this site". Just enter your last name. Aiming to search for citations for a specific paper, type the title of the paper or key words of the paper title. |
