INTRODUCTION

Research and Innovations in Biotechnology (RIB) is an open access peer-reviewed journal. The journal seeks to publish high quality research papers that are innovative and add value to current trends or knowledge in Biotechnology.


SCOPE

Manuscripts submitted to the journal must be within its scope and coverage. This includes:

Aerobiology, Anthropology, Applied Biochemistry, Biochemical Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biological Engineering and Evolution, Bioinfomatics, Biophysics, Biostatistics, Cytobiology, Developmental Biology, Ecology, Entomology, Enzyme Engineering, Genetics/Genetic Engineering, Genomics and Proteomics, Immunology, Industrial Microbiology, Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Molecular diagnostics, Nano-bio-analysis, Neurobiology, Pathology, Physiology, Protein engineering, Radiation biology, Virology, Zoology.



IMPORTANT CHECKLIST

Style: Manuscripts should be prepared using the general style: Font – Arial, Font size – 12, Paragraph Spacing – 1.5 and Page alignment – Justify.

Document format: The journal accepts only submission is Microsoft Word format. Tables and Figures should be included within the manuscript except otherwise.

Language: Manuscripts submitted to the journal must be written in English (either American or British). Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscript checked by a language editing service or by an English mother-tongue colleague(s) before submission. Manuscript should be checked for grammar and spelling errors.

Citations: All references mentioned in the text must be listed in the reference section and vice versa. Also tables and figures (or other additional materials) used must be provided and cited within the text.

Originality: Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the material in the manuscript. It must be noted that all submissions are author(s) original work and where necessary due approval have been received for materials with copyrights. Also the manuscripts submitted have not been previously published or under consideration in another journal.


MANUSCRIPT TYPES

Original Research Articles: Such submissions are divided into an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results and discussions, conclusions and references. They should describe new and carefully confirmed findings. The research methods should be given in sufficient detail for verification and easy reproduction by other researchers.

Short Communications: Such submissions are articles with a simple layout containing limited data. These article types are suitable for recording the results of complete small investigations or summary of new models, innovative methods or techniques. Short communications are within 5 to 9 manuscript pages in length and may also carry same headings as Research Papers.

Review Articles: A summary and discussion of the relevant literature. No particular format is required for these submissions. However, they should be concise, informative and must cover topics of current trends or importance.

Mini Reviews: These submissions are brief versions of the Review Articles. Mini Reviews are within 4 to 8 manuscript pages in length.


ARTICLE STRUCTURE

Manuscripts submitted should be properly structured with clearly defined sections. These include:

Title: Should be brief and informative. 

Author(s) list and affiliation: The names of authors should be provided correctly (first-name, middle-name and surname). Affiliation should include departments, institution, country, emails and phone numbers.

Corresponding author: The corresponding author should be clearly indicated. He/she is responsible for all communications with the editorial office during and after the publication process.

Abstract: The abstract should briefly contain the purpose of the study, the main results and conclusions. The abstract should not be more than 250 words with 5 to 10 keywords following immediately.

Introduction: A brief introduction giving an adequate background of the study, statement of problem, the aim and objectives.

Materials and method: The section should provide sufficient information for other researchers to reproduce. Also methods used from previous publications should be duly referenced.

Results and discussion: Results and discussion can be combined into a single section or treated separately. The section should have enough details for readers to fully understand the data reported in figures and tables and also explore the significance of the results of the work.

Tables and Figures: Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively with accompanied title and legend respectively. Tables should be sent as editable text and not images. Figures types should include JPEG, TIFF and Microsoft Word files. Where necessary, footnotes can also be pasted under tables with proper description of abbreviations or other additional information.

Conclusion(s): Conclusions based on the finding. However, it may not be necessary if it can be included in the discussion section.

Acknowledgements: In this section contributions from those who played a part in the preparation of the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed. Sources of funds, grants etc can also be mentioned.

Conflict of interest Statement: A statement declaring conflict of interest should be included.

References: References cited in the text, tables and figures should be listed in this section. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. References cited as "in press" are assumed to be accepted. Unnecessary self citations should be avoided. DOIs should be included if available.
