<p justify;\\"="" style="text-align: justify;"> 1 Aims and Scope
Bioscience Methods is committed to promote and disseminate innovative technological advances in life science, by publishing outstanding original contributions in all areas of biology. All papers chosen for publication include (but are not limited to) technology review, technique know-how, lab tool, statistical software and known technology modification. Case studies on technologies for gene discovery and function validation as well as genetic transformation.

The primary criterion for publication is new insights that are not only of broad interest to biologist, and teachers/students/researchers engaged in biology, but are also appropriate for R & D personnel as well as readers interested in biological science.

2 Copyright
The authors permanently reserve the copyright for their publications and have granted the rights to any third party in advance for using, reproducing or disseminating the work under the terms of copyright and license of the BiosciPublisher’s constitutions and adopted law and regulations.


3 Manuscripts Submission

A cover letter must be submitted along with the manuscript during the submission, which should contain a brief explanation of what was previously known, the conceptual advance provided by the findings, and the importance of the findings to a broad readership as well as how and why their major findings relate to the scope of the journal. Closely related papers submitted elsewhere or in press should be noted in the cover letter, and uploaded as additional supplemental files in the online submission system.

Research articles will be published electronically in provisional PDF immediately upon acceptance. A fully structured web version (HTML) and download version (PDF) will be uploaded within four weeks after acceptance.

Bioscience Methods is affiliated with other biology journals published by BiosciPublisher, including Genomics and Applied Biology and other journals. If referees judge that a manuscript is sound but not of special interest and therefore not appropriate for Bioscience Methods, the referee reports can be shared with other journals published by BiosciPublisher. Transferring a manuscript from one journal to another will not incur delays. Conversely, if a manuscript submitted to a sister journal in the BiosciPublisher series is judged to be of exceptional interest by the referees and editors, we may offer publication in Bioscience Methods.
