Aims & Scope

As it was during the last years of its existence in the paper form, the journal consists of two parts, the main journal and the Supplement.

The main journal accepts original scientific papers containing theoretical results as well as results based on detailed analysis of variable-star observations.

There is virtually no volume limitations for papers published in the main journal, thus it is possible to publish much more lengthy papers than those in the IBVS.

The Supplement publishes results based on observations.

We encourage our potential authors to present discoveries of individual variable stars and studies of known variable stars in the form resembling that currently used in the many-author issues closing each volume of the IBVS, but we also leave possibilities for Supplement papers of different formats.

In our opinion, any new discoveries of any variable stars, from new original observations or from data mining, regardless variability type, are important.

However, we reserve our right to reject announcement of discoveries based on a couple of deviant data points, such announcements only increase the number of poorly studied, "suspected" variables.

The authors should try to additionally investigate such stars before announcing them, for example, to determine types and to derive periods for periodic variables.
