| Summary: | . The BIOS manuscripts were compiled by Gary Sergy, acting as guest editor. . The Arctic Institute was pleased to help with the completion of the project. After the BIOS manuscripts were compiled they were transferred to Arctic, where they were subjected to the usual Arctic review process. All reviewers were selected by Arctic's editor and all reviews were treated in the usual way, with referral back to the authors for revisions and, in some cases, further review. . The Arctic Institute recognizes the BIOS Project as a major research undertaking in northern waters addressing a problem of major proportions. We are confident that the results of the project as published in this special supplementary issue of Arctic will become a standard reference for everybody undertaking arctic work involving the possibility of environmental damage from petroleum hydrocarbons.
