About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The International Journal of Biological Research (IJBR) publishes original research articles, review articles, short communications, technical notes and relevant case studies that make a clear contribution to the biological sciences.

The journal welcomes work in areas including biochemistry, bioinformatics, biophysics, biotechnology, botany, cell and molecular biology, ecology, entomology, evolution, genetics, immunology, marine and freshwater biology, microbiology, mycology, neurobiology, parasitology, physiology, structural biology, taxonomy, virology and zoology. Interdisciplinary studies are welcome when their central research question is biological.

Peer Review

Submissions are first screened for fit, originality, ethical compliance and basic reporting quality. Suitable manuscripts are evaluated through single-blind external peer review. Reviewers assess methodological soundness, clarity, significance, ethical compliance and the accuracy of the scholarly record. The editor makes the final decision after considering the reports and the authors' response.

The journal aims to complete initial review efficiently; actual timelines depend on reviewer availability and the extent of revision required. Authors may request a reasonable extension when needed.

Open Access and Copyright

IJBR provides immediate open access to published content. Authors retain copyright and articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits sharing and adaptation with appropriate attribution.

Research and Publication Ethics

Authors must obtain any required approval for research involving humans, animals or identifiable personal data and report the approval or exemption in the manuscript. Consent, funding, data availability and competing interests should be disclosed when relevant. If there are no competing interests, a separate declaration is not required at initial submission; the editorial office may request confirmation before publication.

Similarity reports are used as screening evidence, not as an automatic numerical decision. Suspected plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated or manipulated data, undisclosed conflicts and other integrity concerns are assessed in context. Authors are given an opportunity to respond where appropriate.

Corrections and Retractions

Errors that affect interpretation or the scholarly record may be addressed through a correction, expression of concern or retraction. Retracted articles remain available with a clear notice and links between the article and the retraction notice so that the publication record is transparent.

Submission Format

Initial submissions should be prepared in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) using the journal template. Keeping the initial requirements focused helps authors submit without unnecessary administrative barriers. Detailed formatting corrections may be requested after acceptance.
