Publishing
The LBNL Library relies on the Divisions to ensure that authors are meeting the publishing requirements as stated in the RPM, Section 5.02, Scientific and Technical Publications. If you are writing a paper to send out for consideration by a journal or publishing organization, please ensure before you do so that you are familiar with the latest instructions and policies (listed below) regarding internal reviews. Once the paper is accepted for publication by a journal, the paper should then be submitted to the ESD Reports Coordinator to acquire an LBNL number. For more information as to when and why you should acquire an LBNL#, click here. To find publications and other documents issued by ESD-LBNL, visit the ESD publications page. If you're just getting started, please refer to the Publishing Process At-A-Glance (.pdf).
