ARTICLE TYPES
JBM publishes the following types of articles:
Articles. Articles are full length (max. 5000 words, with 5 page equivalents of figures and tables) and peer-reviewed reports presenting original research on novel biological methods and techniques or significant modifications to existing protocols. Protocols are step-by-step guide and instructions to a new technique or a commonly used technique with significant modification for improvement. Protocols can also cover existing techniques for which prior protocols have not been published. Protocols are peer-reviewed and contain the following major sections: abstract, background, reagents and recipes, procedure, notes, anticipated results and references. Reviews are peer-reviewed articles that aim to provide a timely, comprehensive and insightful overview of a particular technique or techniques for the study of a particular aspect of biology. Application Notes. Application notes are product specific technical guides which are of general interest to readers of the Journal. This type of articles is considered as advertisements and will not be submitted to indexing service.
