As well as financial support, the OBC Journal welcomes help with things like proofreading and transcribing.

Below is a list of ways in which help can be offered. Some require experience in certain areas but some just need an interest and wish to contribute.

Proofreading and transcribing

If you have some spare time and would like to help by proofing submissions to the Journal, that will be appreciated. Being meticulous and having a good eye for detail are useful. We will provide guidance on how to do it. We can send you text as a PDF, RTF or DOCX file, and you can add comments to it and email it back to us.

We sometimes transcribe talks and turn them into articles. We can provide recordings as MP3 files for you to type up in your own time, at a pace that suits you.

Website help
