Auhtord Guidelines
GENERAL
All manuscripts should be addressed to the Editorin-chief, Biotech Today, 35, Akshardham, Roorkee Road, Modipuram, Meerut. Submission of an article implies that it has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; and further, that if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere. Two copies of manuscripts of all categories are to be submitted with a letter of transmittal, giving (i) names and complete addresses (including telephone numbers, e-mail i.d. etc. if available) of all the authors and (ii) title of the contribution and the category in which it is submitted.
Biotech Today is a multidisciplinary journal and therefore research and review papers of general significance that are written clearly and well organized will be given preference. All papers, solicited and unsolicited, will be first assessed by a Reviewing Editor. Papers found unsuitable in terms of the overall requirements of the journal will be returned to the authors.
The others will be sent for detailed review. Authors of these papers will be notified of acceptance, need for revision or rejection of the paper. It may be noted that papers once rejected cannot be resubmitted. Illustrations and other materials to be reproduced from other publications must be properly credited; it is the authors’ responsibility to obtain permission for reproduction of figures, tables, etc. from published sources (copies of letters of permission should be sent to the editor-in-chief).
Declarations to be made regarding ethical issues
Manuscripts that deal with clinical findings should be enclosed with a statement on informed consent of the patients under study.
If humans and animals are the subject of a clinical study, it is essential for the study to have been carried out in accordance with the ethical standards of the country/ countries where the research described in the article has been conducted. A declaration to that effect must accompany the manuscript.
Supplementary material
Detailed tables can be submitted as supplementary material, which will be published online. If tables with huge data are not submitted as supplementary material and are found suitable for online publishing only, the discretion to use these as supplementary material lies with the journal. The authors will be informed about this during the processing of their manuscripts.
Any details and queries regarding supplementary material should be addressed to the corresponding author of the paper. The published material cannot be reproduced without permission from the author. Author conflict of interest statement
Authors must acknowledge the organizations that have provided financial support for their work. Any other conflict of interest must be declared while submitting the manuscripts.
CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPTS
General articles [not exceeding 5000 words, 8 display items (tables and figures)] discuss current trends in research in a field that would be of interest to readers outside the field. These include interdisciplinary topics, science policy and science administration, some aspects of the application of science and technology to human needs or the impact of science and technology on society/ecosystems/life. The articles should include an abstract, introductory paragraph, brief subheads at appropriate places, illustrations that will help a general reader, and references.
Review articles (not exceeding 7000-8000 words, cited references to be limited to about 100 in number) are expected to survey and discuss current developments in a field. They should be well News (not exceeding 1000 words) can cover important scientific events or any other news of interest to scientists in general. Meeting reports (less than 1500 words) deal with highlights/technical contents of a conference/ symposium/discussion-meeting, etc. conveying to readers the significance of important advances. Reports must avoid merely listing brief accounts of topics discussed.
Research News articles (not exceeding 2000 words and 3 display items) are intended to inform non-specialists about recently published advances or important findings. Book reviews (not exceeding 1500 words). Although Book Reviews are generally solicited/commissioned, unsolicited reviews will also be considered. Reviews must not merely ‘list’ brief descriptions of the contents of a book.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Manuscripts should be typed/printed double-spaced on one side of white paper (21 × 28 cm). The pages should be numbered consecutively, starting with the title page and through the text, reference list, tables and figure legends. The title should be brief, specific and amenable to indexing. Not more than five keywords should be indicated separately; these should be chosen carefully and must not be phrases of several words. Abstract and summary should be limited to 100 words and convey the main points of the paper, outline the results and conclusions, and explain the significance of the results.
Text: All papers should have a brief introduction. The text should be intelligible to readers in different disciplines and technical terms should be defined. Tables and figures should be referred to in numerical order. All symbols and abbreviations must be defined, and used only when necessary. Superscripts, subscripts and ambiguous characters should be clearly indicated. Units of measure should be metric or, preferably, SI.
Figures: In the case of line drawings, one set of originals and two copies should be submitted. Line drawings should be roughly twice the final printed size. In the case of photographs, good prints are required with each copy of the manuscript; photocopies of photographs are not acceptable. Photomicrographs and other photographs that require it must have a scale bar, which should be defined clearly in the legend. Primary data should be submitted as far as possible (e.g. actual photographs of electrophoretic gels rather than idealized diagrams). The map of India, if forming a part of the article, must conform to official maps released by the Survey of India, giving reference to the source map. Lettering should be sufficiently large to be clear after reduction to print size.
References should be numbered in superscript, serially in the order in which they appear, first through the text and then through table and figure legends. References should not include unpublished source materials. The list of References at the end of the text should be in the following format.
