Publication Options

Authors who would prefer to publish their full text in a peer-reviewed journal instead of the proceedings book may submit it separately to the USBED Journal. In that case the text is not included in the proceedings book; the journal applies its own review and publication criteria, which differ from the conference, and publication is not guaranteed. The journal is open access and charges no fees.
