It gives me great pleasure to invite you to contribute to the inaugural edition of the JBBA - Journal of the British Blockchain Association. The JBBA is Europe’s first peer reviewed, academic journal devoted to Blockchain & other Distributed Ledger Technologies and Cryptocurrencies. Peer-review is a critical part of the functioning of the scientific community, of quality control, and the self-corrective nature of science, and our aim is to provide a journal which only publishes rigorously reviewed articles which enhance the body of knowledge growing around the Blockchain. The JBBA is an online, open access journal offering a wide ranging and comprehensive coverage of all facets of DLT/ Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies. The JBBA attempts to cover the state-of-the-art advances in all aspects of Blockchain technology. The international and multidisciplinary nature of this field enables us to cover both theoretical research and technological developments. A high-quality peer-reviewed journal will enable authors to showcase their work, and at the same time, allow policy makers to build on an evidence-based framework. This will enable stakeholders to provide government with sound academic support for experimentation, proofs of concept and knowledge transfer. We aim to become the “Gold Standard” for the highest quality, evidence based, peer-reviewed resource on blockchain technology. We will publish: Original research (PhD thesis, Dissertations, Scientific Trials) Interviews with key influencers, Thought Leaders and Experts DLT/ Blockchain Start-ups/ ICO White Papers Case studies & Expert opinions Book reviews Critical reviews, Commentary and Analysis Editorial covering the latest important issues and trends
