General information:
The Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society - Simon Stevin (BBMS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to recent developments in all areas in pure and applied mathematics. It is published as one yearly volume, containing five issues.
The main focus lies on high level original research papers. They should aim to a broader mathematical audience in the sense that a well-written introduction is attractive to mathematicians outside the circle of experts in the subject, bringing motivation, background information, history and philosophy. The content has to be substantial enough: short one-small-result papers will not be taken into account in general, unless there are some particular arguments motivating publication, like an original point of view, a new short proof of a famous result etc.
The BBMS also publishes expository papers that bring the state of the art of a current mainstream topic in mathematics. Here it is even more important that at leat a substantial part of the paper is accessible to a broader audience of mathematicians.
The BBMS publishes papers in English, Dutch, French and German. All papers should have an abstract in English.

Ethical Code
Submitting a paper to the Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society implies that the authors of the paper support the Code of Practice of the European Mathematical Society Ethics Committee; in particular the author(s) make the commitment that they will respect the principles stipulated in the first Section of the Code of Practice, Responsibilities of authors. Violations of these principles, such as (self)-plagiarism, simultaneous submission of the same results to more than one journal, duplicate, overlapping or redundant publication, improper author contribution or attribution, impact factor or citation manipulation and undisclosed conflicts of interest, will lead to immediate rejection as well as possible exclusion for future publications in the Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society.
