BBS Family Page
Welcome to the Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) Family Page!
If you have not registered an account at our Editorial Manager website, please create a profile. You will then automatically begin receiving our Calls for Commentary Proposals and other announcements from the publisher and Editors of the journal. If you have any questions, or would prefer to opt-out of receiving the Call for Commentary Proposals after you have registered, please email bbsjournal@cambridge.org
What is the purpose of the Call for Commentary Proposals?
When a Target Article or recent book has been accepted for
BBS Open Peer Commentary, the editorial office sends out a
Call for Commentary Proposals to thousands of people.
The BBS Editors are not asking for full Commentary articles when the Call is sent,
rather they are requesting Commentary Proposals submitted
though the BBS Editorial Manager system. If you do not wish to submit a Commentary Proposal, but would prefer to nominate others as potential invitees, please contact the journal office at
bbsjournal@cambridge.org. Of course, you can choose to do both.
