Article type and manuscript length

The Journal of Bioengineering and Biochemical Sciences (JBiBiS) is a scientific journal that publishes original, full-length papers on recent advances in bioengineering and biochemical sciences. An original research paper includes a description of the obtained results, which are scientifically founded and experimentally verifiable. In addition, the document should include relevant research references. The document should be organized as follows: abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion, and conclusions (see article structure). In contrast, review papers involve a review and analysis of available literature data in a given field. Review works do not feature undisclosed results, but rather suggest a critical examination of what is already available. The paper's format should be as follows: abstract, keywords, introduction, relevant sections, and discussion and conclusions. The document should be between ten and fifteen pages long.

Plagiarism check

Submission of a manuscript implies that the work presented has not been previously published (except in the form of an abstract, published lecture, or academic thesis) and that its publication has been approved by all authors, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or any other language. To verify compliance, the received manuscripts in the Journal of Bioengineering and Biochemical Sciences (JBiBiS) may undergo plagiarism (copying text or results from other sources) for their uniqueness and also self- plagiarism (duplicating substantial parts of authors' published work without giving the appropriate references) by quality analysts using iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software. JBiBiS defines plagiarism as a case in which a work reproduces another work with at least 25% similarity and without citation. If the similarity is greater than 25%, the authors will be offered to give an adequate explanation and correct the work if the match is indicated as a consequence of specifying definitions, general terms, and generally accepted writing rules that are in wide use for appropriate research methods.

Article structure

Title Page Information

Article Title - The title should be short, informative, and concisely reflect the emphasis and content of the article, avoiding abbreviations and formulas if possible. The title should be unambiguous so as not to be misinterpreted.

Author names and affiliations - The names and surnames of the authors must be listed correctly because they will be indexed and referenced in the world's databases. The corresponding author, marked with an asterisk (*), is the author who will handle the correspondence at all stages of submission and publication, also after publication. This responsibility includes answering any future questions. There can be only one person in charge of correspondence. Affiliations should be entered for all authors with superscript numbers and listed as follows: Organization, Faculty/Institute, Department/Laboratory, City, State abbreviation (only for United States, Canada, and Australia), and Country (with detailed address information). For example: University of Kragujevac, Institute for Information Technologies, Department of Science, Jovana Cvijića bb, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia

Authors are expected to carefully consider the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript. Any change in the order, addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names can only be made with the approval of the journal editor. To make the aforementioned changes, the corresponding author must send a completed form (download [MA1] here) with a description of the reason for the change in the list of authors to the e-mail address of the assigned Editor. Then the Editor must request written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree to the changes requested.

Abstract

The abstract should contain the aim and main results of the conducted research. References and mathematical formulas should not be cited in the abstract. The abstract should be no longer than one paragraph, a maximum of 200 words, and should be structured, for example, according to the concise IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Result and Discussion) format but without a title. 1) Introduction - why was the study conducted and what was the research question and purpose of the research? 2) Methods - how was the study conducted and what materials were used or who was included in the study groups (patients, etc.)? Briefly describe the main methods or treatments used. 3) Results - what answer was found to the research question; What did the study find? Summarize the main findings of the article; 4) Discussion – what might the answer imply and why is it important? What are the perspectives for future research as well as the main conclusions or interpretations.

Keywords

All article types require a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 keywords. Avoid abbreviations unless they are established in the specified area. In addition, "and" or "of" should be avoided.

Introduction

The Introduction should introduce the reader to the topic of the manuscript, review previous works related to the topic of the manuscript, as well as highlight the importance of the conducted research. Also, within the Introduction, research hypotheses should be highlighted as well as the current state of the research field, which should be cited following academic rules. References should be numbered in the order of appearance indicated by numbers in square brackets - eg. [1] or [2,3] or [4–6] and formatted according to the rules given at the end of this document. The last paragraph should outline the organization of the work, as well as briefly state the main objectives of the work and highlight the main conclusions derived from the research.

Materials and Methods

The Materials and Methods section should describe the methodological approach to the research as well as the necessary instruments, materials, chemicals, reagents, data, software, computer code, and protocols associated with the research. Well-established methods and protocols should be cited according to academic rules, while new methods and protocols should be described in detail. For studies requiring ethical approvals, e.g. research involving animals and humans, authors must cite the appropriate authority and code of ethics approval.

Results and discussion

The Results and Discussion section should provide a concise, precise description and discussion of the obtained results, as well as a connection with the results of previous research and already established hypotheses. Interpretation of results and discussion of potential application to industry, future research, etc. is of great importance for the overall presentation of the obtained results. Also, this section can be divided into subheadings.

All Figures and Tables as well as captions, within the manuscript, should be formatted according to the instructions attached to the template. All figures and tables must be original scientific work or permissions must be obtained (licensed) to use copyrighted material from other sources (including republished/adapted/modified/partial figures and images from the Internet). Also, it is necessary to submit the Figures individually, in the same order as they are mentioned in the manuscript. TIF/TIFF (.tif/.tiff) and JPEG (.jpg) image formats in RGB color mode are preferred. Tables that are directly referenced in the paper must be in an editable format (eg MS Word). Manuscripts containing Tables in image format will not be considered.
