[Bc. Lubos Brat]

This message is sent to all known variable stars organisations / associates. Please feel free to redistribute this message world-wide.

Let us introduce new electronic journal for any studies / results on variable stars - "Open European Journal on Variable star" (alias OEJV).

The OEJV web portal is: http://var.astro.cz/oejv

This portal has been created to satisfy those researchers / observers, whos papers are denied by other journals. We accept all serious papers, it doesn't matter if they are based on visual or CCD observation. The journals name contains word "European" because of geografical reason, but we accept papers of all authors all-around the world. Language of the paper can be EN, FR, DE, ES, CZ, english abstract and pictures / tables description is required.

The OEJV is non-censored and non-reviewed journal and all recieved papers are published "as it is".

You can post / find there tables with extrema of brightness of variable stars - times of minima of eclipsing binaries, times of maxima of RR Lyr stars, results obtained using both visual and CCD observation, etc. Anybody can published here his / her observation results or studies, it doesn't matter if it's visual or CCD.

We receive and expose publication in Adobe PDF format. In case of any problems with this format, we could help you with conversion. So you can send us your publication as MS Word document or PostScript and we'll do the conversion to PDF. Whole the publication has to be only one PDF file, including pictures, tables, graphs, etc. and max file size is: 8M! Exact design of the publication depends only on the author, we don't modify any publication anyhow. The content guarantees the author only.

Researchers / observers can submit their papers on-line via our web form. 

OEJV has some new features in astrophysic publications:
- any reader can send his/her comment to both OEJV portal and to authors email
- reader's can vote about quality of the paper

OEJV is supported by Variable Star Section of Czech Astronomical Society (domain, people) and Masaryk University in Brno, Czech republic (the server is located there).

The Open European Journal on Variable stars is registered as continuous electronic journal ISSN 1801-5964.
