Publications

Peer-reviewed research publications will be the core outcome of the Bering Sea Project.

We expect Bering Sea Project publications to be used by resource managers and scientists to inform and advance ecosystem-based management of Bering Sea marine resources, and also to promote or link to further research that strengthens our understanding of marine ecosystems.

Special journal issues

The Bering Sea Project will support publication of a series of special journal issues, aimed at sharing peer-reviewed project results across a broad audience.  The first special issue is planned for Deep-Sea Research Part II, and is intended to showcase the working, intermediate results of the project.  Subsequent special issues will focus more on synthesis, integrating results across individual project components.

For this first special issue, your Science Advisory Board members and Program Manager will serve as guest-editors. Please download a PDF list of information on draft manuscripts that were proposed in response to our call for papers.  We've set a firm deadline of 30 November 2010 for submission of review-ready manuscripts. 

Contact the managing guest-editor (Tom Van Pelt; tvanpelt@nprb.org) if you'd like more information on participating in this or subsequent special issues.

Publication numbers and online library of Bering Sea Project publications

We'll maintain an online library of Bering Sea Project publications (below), but we need your help.  If you're preparing a publication that includes BEST-BSIERP work, please notify the program manager with full citation and abstract, before the galley proof stage.  We'll then issue a BEST-BSIERP publication number that you can include in your acknowledgements.  Note that this applies to both NPRB- and NSF-funded research. 

If you're in any doubt as to whether or not your paper qualifies as a BEST-BSIERP publication, please contact us to enquire.  And if you've already published a BEST-BSIERP paper, contact us: we'll still issue a publication number and add your paper to this library.
