Journal of Biological Interdisciplinary Research

We are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of fully accepted papers.

Manuscripts with contents outside the scope of the journal will not be considered for review.

Submissions will usually be reviewed by two experts suggested by the editorial board.
Academic Editors will have the option of seeking additional reviews when needed. Authors will be informed when Academic Editors decide further review is required.
All publication decisions are made by the journal's Editors-in-Chief on the basis of the reviewers' reports. Authors will be notified promptly if their papers are not accepted.

All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential documents.
We expect our Board of Reviewing Editors and reviewers to treat manuscripts as confidential material.

Editors and reviewers involved in the review process should disclose conflicts of interest resulting from direct competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, and remove themselves from cases in which such conflicts preclude an objective evaluation.
Privileged information or ideas that are obtained through peer review must not be used for competitive gain.

JIBR follows a double-blind peer review process.
Our peer review process is confidential and identities of reviewers cannot be revealed.
