Policy for BES paper publication in Chinese Journal

                             {Draft}

                         {Nov. 17,1997}


1. During the BES 97 Annual Meeting the BES Collaboration reached an 
   agreement for the submission of papers for publication in Chinese journals 
   of BES results. As an addendum for the exsiting BES Publication Policy 
   (June 23, 1996), nothing in the new policy will be taken as overriding 
   anything in the old policy. As with papers submitted to English language 
   journals, all papers submitted to Chinese journals must have the written 
   approval of both co-spokespersons. These papers are considered one of three 
   types:


  a. If a BES paper written in English is already published, or accepted for 
     publication in an International journal on the basis of China-US consensus
     inside the BES Collaboration, and its corresponding BES paper written in
     Chinese (based on same analysis and reporting same physics results and
     conclusions) is intended for submission to  a Chinese journal, the paper
     title, structure and form of the Chinese version may be different from the
     English version. The US side will be formally notified of publication in 
     Chinese, and will be sent a copy of the Chinese paper.   This mode is
     permitted with no need of further negotiation between  China and US sides.


  b. If a submitted English BES paper has not been accepted by an International
     journal (for example, PRL,PRD,PLB,Phys.Rep. etc.), and the BES 
     collaboration decides not to resubmit it either with corrections or to another 
     journal, it can be directly submitted to journals published in China in 
     English (such as Chinese Phys. Lett., Chinese Sciences (physics part) or 
     in both Chinese and English (such as High Energ and Nucl. Phys.).  The 
     US side will be sent a copy of the paper published in China.  This mode is 
     permitted with no need of further negotiation between China and US sides.


  c. If the analysis work is basically done by Chinese members and a BES 
     paper written in Chinese is intended for submission to a Chinese journal, 
     then negotiation  between China and US sides is necessary.


2. The Chinese version BES paper (type c) draft  will be produced through
   following procedures : Firstly, the reported physics results should be 
   discussed and examined carefully in a physics group. Secondly, the physics 
   results should be reported in a BES monthly meeting (China side) and the
   transparencies (in English) should be sent to US side, to seek the opinions
   from both China and US members inside the BES. Taking the collected 
   opinions into  consideration,  some necessary additional analysis work 
   should be followed.   Till the correctness of the analysis is agreed within
   the physics group and the analysis memo has been formed, the paper draft 
   writing can be started. At this time, US side of the BES will be notified
   that a Chinese paper draft writing, which is intended to submit to a Chinese
   Journal, is started.  Then the paper draft together with analysis memo should
   be presented to BES Advisory Group (of 1st division, IHEP), which will 
   apoint two referee's to inspect the draft  and memo, and at the same time the 
   draft will be posted to BES Chinese members.  The draft become approved 
   until all the questions, doubts answered and suggestions considered.  


3. The approved  BES paper draft of Chinese version (in Chinese) will be 
   faxed together with an abstract or a short summary (in English) to US 
   co-spokesperson to seek further opinions from US side.  Any opinion about 
   the paper draft is required to be fed back in two weeks. All the suggestions 
   or questions returned from US side will be considered in draft modification
   and the answers to these questions and suggestions will be fed back to US
   side in two weeks.  Querying, answering and discussion about the paper draft
   by e-mail between China-US side are welcomed.


4. On the basis of China-US consensus inside BES Collaboration, the Chinese 
   version of BES paper (type c) will be published with  IHEP, Chinese 
   Institutions and Universities as the authors, and the BES  Collaboraton will
   not be cited as the author as the default. Individual US institutions  and
   members are welcome to add their names to a particular paper.
