Author Guidelines

BIOEDUKASI is a multidisciplinary journal, publishing original research across the whole spectrum of biology and biology learning. All forms of research within these fields are welcome, provided they are novel, don't focus on method optimization or confirmation or repetitions of previous research but with a different organism, and can make meaningful scientific and social contributions.

These submission guidelines will help you prepare your submission so as to greatly reduce its processing time. Although there are no strict formatting requirements for you initial submission, we do require that it conforms to the document structure laid out below, so reviewers are able to assess the paper based on its scientific merits.

Online submission procedure

By submitting to BIOEDUKASI, authors attest that:

  1. The submission is an original work, free from any form of plagiarism (text, data, and figures).
  2. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration by another journal.
  3. The submission has been approved by all co-authors and relevant authorities (e.g. an institution or sponsor).
  4. The manuscript has been (to the best of the author abilities) written in good English and is free of grammatical errors. It has been checked with a proofreading by a language editor.

Submissions to BIOEDUKASI should be through its online submission system. There are no strict formatting requirements for the initial submission, as long as the article structure conforms with our guidelines (see the manuscript structure section below). Manuscripts that advance to the revision stage will then be required to be formatted appropriately (see the formatting section). This enables authors to focus on the scientific content of their manuscript, along with speeding up the article's processing time.

Author registration. Authors without an BIOEDUKASI account are required to create an account before beginning their submission. Make sure that the "Author" role is selected in the Role dropdown menu, otherwise you will not be able to proceed with the submission.

Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature. [Times New Roman 10, single space, normal]

Well-designed tables and/or figures should be a key feature of this section, conveying key observations to the reader. Any information presented in tables and figures should not be repeated in the text, but the text should focus on the importance of the research's key findings. Generally, journal papers will contain three to seven figures and tables. The same data cannot be presented as tables and figures. The research results are discussed to answer the research problem, as well as the research objectives and hypotheses. Discussion. It is strongly recommended that the discussion focus on why and how the research findings occurred, and the extent to which these findings can be applied to other relevant problems.

Conclusion

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a comprehensive short Conclusions section, which must stand alone section. Author should elaborate the result and discussion into difference ways. Explain the contribution of your research to science.

Review process

All manuscripts submitted to BIOEDUKASI undergo a rigorous screening and review process to ensure that they fit into the journal's scope and are of sufficient academic quality and novelty to appeal to BIOEDUKASI's readership. 

Initial screening. A newly submitted manuscript will be screened by the Editor-in-Chief for its conformity to BIOEDUKASI scope and basic submission requirements. 

Peer-review. If the manuscript passes the initial screening stage, it will be assigned to a handling editor, who will then send it to at least two experts in the relevant field to undergo a double-blind peer-review. Manuscripts that fail to pass the initial screening will be rejected without further review.

First decision. A decision on a peer-reviewed manuscript will only be made upon the receipt of at least two review reports. In cases where reports differ significantly, the handling editor will invite an additional reviewer to get a third opinion before making a decision. At this stage, a manuscript can either be rejected, asked for revisions (minor or major), accepted as is, or (if significant changes to the language or content are required) recommended for resubmission for a second review process. If it is accepted, the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author for formatting. The final decision to accept the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the recommendation of the handling editor and following approval by the board of editors. 

Revision stage. A manuscript that requires revisions will be returned to the submitting author, who will have up to two weeks to format and revise the manuscript, following which it will be reviewed by the handling editor. The handling editor will determine whether the changes are adequate and appropriate, as well as whether the author(s) sufficiently responded to the reviewers' comments and suggestions. If the revisions are deemed to be inadequate, this cycle will be repeated (the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author once more for further revision).

Final decision. At this stage, the revised manuscript will either be accepted or rejected. This decision is dependent whether the handling editor finds the manuscript to have been improved to a level worthy of publication. If the author(s) are unable to make the required changes or have done so to a degree below BIOEDUKASI's standards, the manuscript will be rejected.

Proofing and typesetting. If the manuscript is accepted, it will go through a final round of editing and proofreading by an in-house language editor, following which it will be typeset and returned to the submitting author for final approval. All authors must approve this final version of the article before it can be officially published.

Manuscript processing time

Processing time varies from one manuscript to another, depending on how long it takes to receive all of the reviewers' reports and how quickly the author(s) revise the manuscript. On average, BIOEDUKASI's manuscript processing time ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. BIOEDUKASI cannot guarantee a specific publishing time for a manuscript, nor can it under any circumstances promise a sped-up publication process.
