Guideline for Authors

While we try to accommodate a wide variety of writing styles and languages, All BiR authors are required to follow guidelines mentioned below.

For Peer Reviewed Research/Review Article submission guidelines please visit this link.

Following guidelines are only for short communications, popular articles and explainers:

• Please write short, informative paragraphs consisting of crisp sentences in everyday English.
• Avoid Useless Content even if you are an idiot, or if you write so well
• Keep leads short. Those with 10 words or less are preferred.
• Leads limited to one or two sentences are preferred.
• Avoid starting leads with “when” or “where” unless the time or place is unusual. Most leads start with “How”, “who” or “what.”
• Avoid beginning leads with “there” or “this.”
• The first five to “what happened” makes a better story than the fact it did.
• Use quote and question leads sparingly.

 

Paragraph

• Keep paragraphs short. Those limited to 60 words or less or no longer than 10 typeset lines are preferred.
• Paragraphs limited to one to three sentences are preferred.
• Each paragraph should contain only one idea.
• Remember short paragraphs encourage readers to continue reading.

NONSEXIST, NONAGEIST, NONDISCRIMINATORY COMMUNICATION

• Avoid words that reinforce ageist, racial and ethnic stereotypes.
• Avoid racial identification except when it’s essential to communication.
• Substitute asexual words for “man” words or sexist words.
