BAMOS author guidelines
for all submissions
Updated December 2018
The Bulletin of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic
Society (BAMOS) accepts a range of articles for publication that
are of interest and relevance to the AMOS community.
All articles submitted to BAMOS should be appropriate for
the whole AMOS community (from weather enthusiasts to
professional members) and aim to be concise without using
excessive scientific jargon.
In general, we will not accept publications that are political in
nature, or articles that are not in line with the AMOS positions
statements. All contributions should be factually based and
objective including appropriate acknowledgement and
referencing.
Authors should follow the detailed guidelines available online.
Article types include, but are not limited to:
News, regional centre updates and conference reports:
Short pieces (300–800 words) informing the AMOS community
about relevant activities, awards or scientific news. These pieces
should ideally be accompanied by at least one image.
Articles: Longer pieces (up to 1500 words) that go into more
scientific or technical depth about a topic or event. Pieces in
this category could include a summary of recently published
research, discussion of a historical weather event, or a personal
essay on an aspect of AMOS-related work. A longer contribution
(<2500 words) may be considered at the discretion of the Editor
and Editor-in-Chiefs.
We also accept book and article reviews, comments on
previously published articles, research descriptions, historic
event summaries, biographical notes and obituaries.
