The journal uses open-source software for the management of peer-reviewed academic journals, the <em>Open Journal System</em> created by the Public Knowledge Project and released under the GNU General Public License. Instructions for the submission using OJS are available on the following link <a href="https://openjournalsystems.com/ojs-3-user-guide/submitting-an-article/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://openjournalsystems.com/ojs-3-user-guide/submitting-an-article/</a><br /><br /><strong>Submitted manuscripts should be full-length original research articles, </strong>excluding technical reports and short publications such as communications, comments, notes, data in brief (data articles), and case reports.<br />The <em>Archives of Biological Sciences</em> is a multidisciplinary journal that covers original research in subjects in life science, including biology, ecology, human biology and biomedical research. The <em>Archives of Biological Sciences</em> features scientific research articles in genetics, botany, zoology, higher and lower terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals, prokaryote biology, algology, mycology, entomology, biological systematics, evolution, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, including all aspects of normal cell functioning, from embryonic to differentiated tissues and in different pathological states, physiology, chronobiology, thermal biology, cryobiology, radiobiology, neurobiology, immunology, human immunology, human biology, including the molecular basis of specific human pathologies and disease management.<br /><strong>Unsolicited scientific review articles<br /></strong>As an authoritative research analysis, a review article should critically examine published literature in a specific field. It should organize, evaluate, and identify patterns and trends, synthesize the literature, identify research gaps, and recommend new research areas.<br />A review article will only be considered if it is written by a verified expert with extensive knowledge based on original research in a particular subject area of study, which should be backed by self-citations in the field that is reviewed, not by self-citations of review articles or book chapters. Generally, reviews are best written by scientists who know the field.<br />Before submission, the author should contact the Editor-in-Chief to ensure the proposed review article is within the aims and scope of the journal. The author must provide (<strong>i</strong>) the title of the review paper; (<strong>ii</strong>) a detailed reason why in the light of the state of the art the review is needed; (<strong>iii</strong>) a brief description of the contents of the paper, including section titles and a list of references. Unpublished data must not be included in a review article. The Editor-in-Chief will evaluate the proposal and contact the author with a decision on the matter.<br /><strong>*</strong><br /><strong>Subjects that are not considered by the journal </strong>include articles on<em> in silico</em> biology that are not supported by laboratory experiments. The journal requires that research be grounded in empirical data and that experimental findings be rigorously tested and reproducible. While <em>in silico</em> studies can be a valuable tool for generating hypotheses and testing theoretical models, they are preliminary to experimental research, rather than a substitute for it. Therefore, the Archives of Biological Sciences requires that <em>in silico</em> studies be accompanied by experimental data that support the conclusions drawn from the computational analyses. The journal requires some experimental validation or corroboration of the <em>in silico</em> results.<br />Subjects that fall under life sciences but that do not contain sufficient interest for the journal include topics in stomatology, subjects in food technology, veterinary science, agronomy, field experiments in agriculture, forestry, silviculture, soil science, descriptions of technological processes, experimental methods and solutions, instrumentation, technical reports containing chemical characterizations with no research into a biological explanatory mechanism, patient case studies, short faunistic or floristic notes, checklists of limited geographical areas (e.g. a country), description of a single new species in a genus that already contains many, articles describing new species on a single specimen.</p> https://www.serbiosoc.org.rs/arch/index.php/abs/announcement/view/46 2023-07-04T12:21:50+02:00 Archives of Biological Sciences 2023-07-04T12:21:50+02:00 https://www.serbiosoc.org.rs/arch/index.php/abs/announcement/view/45 2023-07-03T22:57:45+02:00 Archives of Biological Sciences
