Can I publish works through BCS?

BCS encourages member groups to publish works such as journal articles, conference proceedings and books, to enhance the reputation of the Institute and the visibility of our members.

Consequently, it is important that we follow a set of member group publications guidelines to ensure any works published meet our highest standards.

Dissemination of high quality information enhances the visibility and reputation of the Institute and its Member Groups. Consequently, Member Groups are encouraged to publish books, journals, conference proceedings, newsletters, and articles using a range of media including paper, web content, video, and audio.

The BCS Publishing Policy (updated September 2026) applies to all publications by Member Groups except press releases, text communications (including emails) and reports for restricted circulation (e.g. consultation documents and papers for internal BCS use).
