If both bits will be supported by the brackets, and the two surfaces to be glued will have decent, flat contact with each other, then glue will be more than enough. Biscuits/dowels/dominos would be overkill IMO and difficult to get right if it's your first attempt.

a couple of clamps
As many as you own/as many will fit along the length of the join is the correct number of clamps. If in doubt, get more clamps.

I've got a length of worktop offcut that's only 12.5cm wide, but very long. I want to put a shelf up in the bedroom where I basically chop it in half, put the two pieces next to one another and put three brackets underneath.
Is there anything I'm going to need to do to join the two pieces other than some woodglue, a couple of clamps, and a flat surface while they dry?
