Aims & Scope

The Archives of Biological Sciences is a multidisciplinary life sciences journal publishing original research in biology, ecology, human biology, and biomedical sciences. The journal covers genetics, botany, zoology, ecology of terrestrial and aquatic organisms, prokaryotic biology, algology, mycology, entomology, systematics and evolution, biochemistry, molecular, cellular, and physiological biology, chronobiology, thermal, cryo- and radiobiology, neurobiology, immunology, human biology, including molecular mechanisms of disease, genotyping, and disease management. Submitted manuscripts should be full-length original research articles , excluding technical reports, short publications such as short communications, pilot/exploratory studies, comments, notes, data in brief (data articles), case reports, and unsolicited narrative reviews. Submissions outside the journal's scope include in silico studies lacking experimental validation; field studies; papers in veterinary science, food technology; chemical characterisation without biological or mechanistic insight; technical or methodological reports; short faunistic or floristic notes; patient case studies.
