Detailed Step-by-Step Publication Workflow

  1. Manuscript Submission: Authors submit manuscripts via the OJS system. Submissions must include ethical statements (animal/human ethics where applicable), plagiarism reports, and follow the IBR Template.
  2. Initial Editorial Screening (Up to 30 days):
    • Verification of scope alignment (Biology, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences).
    • Screening for plagiarism (Turnitin) and AI-generated content.
    • Review of ethical compliance for biological experiments.
    • Desk rejection may occur if scientific standards are not met.
  3. Double-Blind Peer Review (Up to 30 days):
    • At least two subject-matter experts evaluate the manuscript without knowing author identities.
    • Reviewers assess biological methodology, data accuracy, and significant contribution to the field.
  4. Author Revision: Authors address reviewer comments and provide a point-by-point response. The editorial team ensures all biological data concerns are resolved.
  5. Final Editorial Decision: The Editor-in-Chief issues a final decision. Accepted papers receive a Letter of Acceptance (LoA).
  6. Production and Proofing (Up to 30 days):
    • Professional copyediting for biological terminology and scientific clarity.
    • Assignment of Digital Object Identifier (DOI: 10.69725).
    • Final proof approval by authors.
  7. Online Publication: Articles are published under Gold Open Access. Metadata is distributed to Google Scholar, Garuda, and other biological indexing services.
