Read OBC's Emerging Areas



Emerging Areas are short, personal accounts of a new area of research. They can be speculative in nature, putting a new area in perspective. These are normally published by invitation of the OBC Editorial Board. However, suggestions from authors are welcome and enquiries regarding the submission of Emerging Areas should be directed to the editor.
