Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus, Scope and Objectives The Journal of Biological Research – Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale is one of the oldest journals in Biology. Founded in 1925 the journal is available in Medline until 2001 and Scopus since 2014. The Journal of Biological Research – Bollettino della Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale is an online-only peer-reviewed journal which welcomes papers dealing with any aspect of experimental biology. Papers concerning clinical topics can be accepted only if they include experimental laboratory data. Original communications, review articles or short communications may be submitted. Peer review process Peer review is applied to all research articles and the majority of other article types published in PAGEPress journals. This usually entails at least two independent, expert peer reviewers. Policy All submissions to PAGEPress journals are first checked for completeness (criteria for desk reject are available in the Guide for Authors ) before being sent to an Editor, who decides whether they are suitable for peer review. If an Editor is on the author list or has a competing interest in a particular manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to oversee peer review. When making a decision, Editors will consider the peer-reviewed reports, but they will not be bound by the opinions or recommendations contained in them. A single peer reviewer's or the Editor's concern may result in the manuscript being rejected. Peer review reports are sent to authors along with the editorial decision on their manuscript. JBR uses the single-blind peer-review : the reviewers know the names of the authors, but the authors do not know who reviewed their manuscript. Selection Peer reviewer selection is critical to the publication process. A variety of factors influence it, including expertise, reputation, specific recommendations, conflicts of interest, and previous performance. All of these qualiti
