The BNS Research blog provides an easy method for numismatists to disseminate short-form research, of a less formal character than Journal articles.  Previously there has been a shortage of national forums for short research focused numismatic publications for contributions such as the discovery of a new die-link, or a slight permutation of an existing type, which in the past might have been put on record in Spink’s Numismatic Circular, or the Seaby Coin and Medal Bulletin, but which are too brief to warrant publication in a larger-scale print journal such as the British Numismatic Journal.

The coordinator will check that the subject of any submitted article falls within the remit of the Society, and will check for correct image attribution etc, but will not be reviewing the content.  Peer review of the material is through the blog process.  If a reader of an article disgarees with any of the content then they should use the comments box on the blog title page.  Publication of the research note on the BNS blogsite does not imply BNS endorsement of the content.

Normally the coordinator checking of the proposed paper will take place within a fortnight of receipt, and if there are no issues to address, then the research note will be uploaded by the coordinator. Any comments on your article made by readers will be forwarded to you in due course by the Blog Coordinator for your response using the Blog comment feature as appropriate. 

It is recommended that authors take full advantage of the potential of the internet and make use of images and weblinks as appropriate.  New articles or inquiries should be sent to blog@britnumsoc.org

The content of articles for the blog should be within the remit of the Society’s interests: ‘Coins, medals, jettons and paper money of the British Isles, the Commonwealth and other territories that have been subject to British rule’.  Contributions are open to all (including authors who are not members of the Society). There is no limitation on the frequency of posts. Intending contributors should please read the Instructions to Authors.
