  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Manuscript submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:

1.  Type of contribution

This journal publishes original scientific papers, reviews, and short communication in the field of life sciences with emphasis on biotechnology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biofilm, biorefinery, bioinformatics, and bioengineering. Review articles are typically written by invitation, but unsolicited reviews may also be considered for publication. Authors should first contact the Chief Editor to verify the suitability of their proposed subject matter.

2.  Manuscript preparation

Manuscripts must be written in English and submitted online via the journal's website. Authors are required to log in to complete their submission. Please note that online registration and article submission are FREE of CHARGE.

Prior to submission, authors should thoroughly read the journal's Instructions for Authors, available in the manuscript template (download file).

The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject a manuscript based on peer reviewer feedback and may make necessary language edits that do not alter the content. Any substantial edits will be discussed with the author beforehand.

3.  Submission preparation checklist

Before submitting, authors must ensure their work complies with the following criteria:

  • The manuscript follows the writing instructions provided in the manuscript template (download file).
  • The manuscript is formatted as a Microsoft Word 2007 (.doc/.docx) file, containing at least 4 pages of A4 and not exceeding 15 pages for original scientific papers (including figures and tables), or 10 pages for mini-reviews and short communications.
  • References are formatted according to the style of Annales Bogorienses (APA Style).
  • Authors must declare that the manuscript is original, free of plagiarism, has not been previously published in any other scientific journal, and is not currently under review by any other publication. An authorship agreement must accompany every submission.
