FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQs
Q. Is there an article processing charge?
A. The Archives of Biological Sciences does not charge authors an article processing charge.
Q. How many days does it take to review a submission?
A. The "days to review" can be calculated from the date of submission (or designation of Review Version) to the initial Editor Decision (for articles on the OnLine First page [http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/issue.aspx?issueid=3563), while the "days to publish" is measured for accepted submissions from its original uploading to its publication.
Q. Why is my paper archived?
A. The answer to this question also contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR UNHINDERED COMMUNICATION WITH THE EDITORIAL OFFICE.
The paper is archived because it was rejected as an Unsuitable Submission, but the e.mail informing the corresponding author is missing because it was rejected by the author's e.mail client. Upon submission of a manuscript authors should receive an automated Submission Acknowledgement.
Authors are subsequently also informed if their submission does not adhere to the journal's Author Guidelines and has been rejected as an "Unsuitable Submission" or as "Resubmission Requested", and is archived. However, sometimes certain e.mail clients do not recognize e.mail from abs.ibiss.bg.ac.rs. If you are missing e.mails from the Archives of Biological Sciences (ABS), please check your e.mail account's Spam or Junk folder to ensure the message was not filtered. If the message was filtered, you may find an option to 'Mark as good', 'Not spam', 'Not junk', or 'Add sender / sender's domain to safe sender list.' This will aid in receiving future e.mails from ABS.
Q. Is our manuscript entitled: "..." (with for example the abstract attached to the e.mail), suitable for publication in Archives of Biological Sciences?
A. Preliminary assessments of potential submissions are not carried out. Whether a paper is accepted for peer review depends on its content as well as on its presentation.
The Archives of Biological Sciences is published quarterly in an open access electronic format.
The Archives of Biological Sciences uses an open-source software for the management of peer-reviewed academic journals, the Open Journal System, created by the Public Knowledge Project, released under the GNU General Public License. Instructions for the submission using OJS are available on the following links:
https://pkp.sfu.ca/files/video/ojs_author_submission/ojs_author_submission.htm
https://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Authors:_Submitting_to_an_OJS_Journal
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION OVERVIEW
Submitted manuscripts should be full-length original research articles, excluding technical reports and short publications such as "Communications", "Comments", "Notes", etc.
The Archives of Biological Sciences is a multidisciplinary journal that covers original research in a wide range of subjects in life science, including biology, ecology, human biology and biomedical research.
The Archives of Biological Sciences features scientific research articles in genetics, botany and zoology, including higher and lower terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals, prokaryote biology, algology, mycology, entomology, etc., biological systematics, evolution, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, including all aspects of normal cell functioning, from embryonic to differentiated tissues and in different pathological states, physiology, including chronobiology, thermal biology, cryobiology, radiobiology, neurobiology, immunology, including human immunology, human biology, including the biological basis of specific human pathologies and disease management.
We advise authors against simultaneous submission of two or more different manuscripts to the Archives of Biological Sciences.
Submissions that are NOT CONSIDERED: manuscripts diverging from basic experimental research in biological sciences, such as research in veterinary sciences, research in agronomy (field experiments) and agricultural science, particularly if they are of local importance and are not generalizable, forestry papers, silviculture, stomatology, food technology, descriptions of technological processes, solutions and instrumentation, technical reports containing observations, chemical characterization with no research into a biological explanatory mechanism, patient case studies, articles in in silico biology, papers in pedagogy of biological science. The scope of the journal is global, so short faunistic/floristic notes, checklists of limited geographical areas (e.g. a country) are not considered. Single species descriptions can only be accepted if the relevance of the new taxon can be demonstrated (e.g. a description of single new species in a genus that already contains many will not be considered); submission of articles describing new species on a single specimen is strongly discouraged.
Scientific review articles (unsolicited submissions) will be considered.
A review article should provide critical analysis of previously published literature in a specific field; it should organize, evaluate, identify patterns and trends and synthesize the literature, as well as identify research gaps and recommend new research areas.
New data from the author’s experiments should not be presented in a review article.
A review article will only be considered if it is written by a verified expert with extensive knowledge based on research in a particular subject area of study, which should be backed by self-citations, excluding review articles.
Before submission, the author should contact the Editor-in-Chief to ensure the proposed review article is within the current aims and scope of the journal.
The author must provide (i) the title of the review paper; (ii) a detailed reason why, in the light of the state of the art, the review is needed; (iii) a brief description of the contents of the paper including section titles and a list of references. (Note that inclusion of more than 60 references must be avoided). The Editor-in-Chief will evaluate the proposal and contact the author with a decision on the matter.
* * *
Submission of a manuscript to the editor implies that it has not been previously published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted will not be published elsewhere in the same form without the written consent of the editor; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors (if any), as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institution where the work has been carried out.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Online Submission: Please follow the hyperlink “Make a Submission” on the right and upload all files following the instructions given on the screen. Manuscripts and accompanying material must be submitted electronically through the online manuscript submission system, manuscripts sent by email are not considered.
All subsequent versions of the manuscript must be uploaded using the same paper ID and defined password. In all future correspondence please mention the manuscript ID.
The CORRESPONDING AUTHOR is the individual who, when working on a paper with multiple authors, takes primary responsibility for communicating with the journal.
The submitting author is automatically designated as the corresponding author in the submission system. Therefore, a submission MUST BE UPLOADED BY THE CORRESPONDING AUTHOR as the PRIMARY CONTACT.
The editor may reject a paper that has not been submitted by the prospective corresponding author.
Authors may suggest the names of suitable potential reviewers with email addresses and affiliations, briefly explaining why they think the scientists would be good referees.
AUTHOR GUIDELINES
WHEN PREPARING A MANUSCRIPT FOR SUBMISSION YOU MUST IMPLEMENT THE AUTHOR GUIDELINES.
Please take the time to read and apply these instructions to the presentation of your work. Pay attention to detail before submitting a paper. Ensure that your manuscript follows these guidelines before uploading your submission.
Submissions are declined if they do not adhere to these guidelines.
Please take note that it is in your interest to present and submit your work as stated in order to avoid resubmission and delayed acceptance for peer review.
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all included items. The checklist appears in the Author Guidelines, under About the Journal. A paper that does not meet the journal's manuscript organization and bibliographic requirements, which is carelessly drafted, formatted, incomplete, which is written in substandard English and in which the presentation of tables and figures is substandard, is rejected immediately as an "Unsuitable Submission", of which the corresponding author is duly informed, and the paper is archived.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
SUBMISSION METADATA
A submission is not complete until all details for all authors: first, middle and last name, e.mail, academic/research rank, affiliation, country, ORCID iD have been entered in the Submission Metadata field on the submission web page in the online system. The primary affiliation for each author should be the institution where the majority of their work was done. If an author has subsequently moved, the current address may also be stated.
The ORCID iD is particularly recommended for the corresponding author and will speed up manuscript evaluation. Note that an ORCID iD with "no public information available" serves no purpose and should not be submitted.
ORCiD iDs can only be assigned by the ORCID Registry. You must conform to their standards for expressing ORCiD iDs, and include the full URI as follows: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097.
COPYRIGHT TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Upon submission of a paper, the corresponding author must fill and each author must sign the Archives of Biological Sciences Copyright Transfer Agreement:[http://serbiosoc.org.rs/NewUploads/Uploads/Copyright%20Transfer%20Agreement.pdf]
The completed and signed agreement should be uploaded as one pdf file using the “ADD A SUPPLEMENTARY FILE” tab on the submission web page.
At submission, the signed Archives of Biological Sciences Copyright Transfer Agreement Form confirms the approval of all authors of the submitted version (and any substantially modified version the work concerned), and that the authors agree to be personally accountable for the authors' individual contributions, ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work, even those in which an author was not personally involved, are appropriately investigated, resolved, and that the resolution is documented in the literature.
Please take note that the Editor-in-Chief of Archives of Biological Sciences is not in a position to investigate or adjudicate authorship disputes before or after publication, and any changes to the author list after submission such as a change in the order of the authors or the deletion or addition of authors must be approved by every author.
SUBMISSION SUMMARY
THE SUBMISSION must be prepared and uploaded as ONE MS Word document with all figures embedded at the end of the manuscript.
A submission and any part thereof must NOT be uploaded as a compressed file-folder.
Supplementary files that are uploaded are:
(1) the figures, but ONLY when they are images (tiff files; see the instructions below)
(2) the Copyright Transfer Agreement pdf file, which has been signed by all authors
(3) SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Word file as an online-only supplement (if applicable; see below).
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Manuscripts must be submitted in English.
It is essential that a manuscript is prepared in accordance with the journal's author guidelines and is written in clear and grammatically correct English.
Journal policy includes the requirement for proper English. Correct language ensures the reliability of the results and their comprehension by other scientists. If you feel unsure about the quality of the English, we strongly recommend engagement of a native English speaker or a professional editing service.
Sentences should be clear and concise. Avoid wordiness, excessive use of jargon, a stilted, flowery, deliberately complicated delivery which impairs the reader’s ability to grasp and appreciate the author’s message. Take note that no sentence must be alone, therefore, write in paragraphs. A paragraph is not just a sum of sentences; a paragraph is a story or a demonstration.
* MANUSCRIPT FORMAT
Manuscripts must be Microsoft Word documents (DOC format).
Margins: Normal margin page layout with justified margins.
Indents and Spacing: Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout in Unicode Times New Roman throughout, normal font spacing; font size 12 pts; US English spelling.
A single blank must always follow after a period, colon, semicolon or comma (except within numerals, standard abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., l.c., s.str., s.l.), capital letters used to refer to single images within a plate (Fig. 1C,D), and between numerals and units of measure: “2 mm” not “2mm”, but “5%” not “5 %”.
Use an En Dash between page numbers and measurements, “120–130” not an Em Dash, “120—130."
Main section headings are bold all caps font (14 pts), subheadings (in Materials and Methods and Results sections) are bold sentence case font (12 pts).
Paragraph:
Lines of all paragraphs except the first line of the first paragraph in a section should be indented (left-indent, 1 cm) using the tab key, not the spacebar. There should be no empty lines between paragraphs.
Paragraph spacing: Before, After: 0 pt.
Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
In the body of the text there are:
no bold fonts (except section headings),
no numbered paragraphs/sections,
no sub-section headings in italics in the Materials and Methods and Results sections
no bullet points,
no tables, no figures,
no mention of the placement of tables or figures,
no embelishments: no footnotes, no headers.
Check the document by running Word's Spelling (US En) and Grammar feature.
Ensure that your MS Word document (the manuscript) is not set for use requiring contextual shaping in a "right-to-left language" such as Arabic
[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-right-to-left-languages-in-office-17d8a34d-36d6-49ad-b765-257cb7cd22e2].
When submitting a manuscript, turn on the Line Numbers via the Page Layout option of word, apply continuous numbering. Line numbers and page numbers on each page are required to make it easier for reviewers to provide comments.

Organization of THE MANUSCRIPT
PAPER DESCRIPTION / HIGHLIGHTS
THE FIRST PAGE OF THE MANUSCRIPT IS THE PAPER DESCRIPTION / HIGHLIGHTS
Provide a self-contained Paper Description which will be included on the published article-summary web page.
The Paper Description consists of answering 4 simple questions using not more than 100 words.
The Paper Description should be in a bulleted paragraph style - in FOUR bullet points, presented as brief answers to these questions, (not as one paragraph):
Why did you start?
What is already known about the topic of your submission? Avoid statements about how a process is not well understood. Provide the rationale for the research, or the reason why the research was conducted.
What did you do?
Provide an explanation of the design and methods and the experimental model employed in the research.
What did you find?
Describe the results: what is new in your work, has not already been reported?
What does it mean?
Provide an indication of the broader significance of the work: what does your work add to the existing body of knowledge?
When presenting the paper description/highlights,
do not write the above "questions", do not use unexplained abbreviations and acronyms, do not cite references.
The purpose of the Paper Description is to provide a resume of your work: to introduce it, to demonstrate your interest in presenting it to a reading public, to draw attention to it and to motivate readers to engage in it. The Page Description will be the first contact you have with a prospective reader. Note that the Paper Description/Highlights of your article, if it is published, will also be used by Archives of Biological Sciences on Facebook.
Do not skim through the Paper Description. An inadequate Paper Description is indicative of a lack of focus, poor English, a superficial, careless presentation, and can preclude further consideration of the submission for peer review.
THE SECOND PAGE OF THE MANUSCRIPT IS THE COVER PAGE
COVER PAGE
The manuscript cover page does not have headings, it contains the
Title
Authors
Affiliations
Title
The title must not exceed 200 characters with spaces. Abbreviations should be avoided; the title must be straightforward not a puzzle. Avoid titles that are too general. Avoid titles that are phrased as a question.
All authors’ full names must be listed in the following order: first name, middle name initials (if applicable), family name(s).
Affiliations: Each author must list an associated department, university, organizational affiliation, address, city and country.
One author, designated as the Corresponding author must provide an e.mail address and other contact information that will be published if the article is accepted. The corresponding author is the individual who, when working on a paper with multiple authors, takes primary responsibility for communicating with the journal.
PREPRINT of the research paper: When applicable, provide the following information:
"The manuscript is available as a preprint at the following web server address: state the address, which received the following DOI: provide the DOI"
ABSTRACT
The abstract is one paragraph, without headings, and must not exceed 200 words. It should present the hypothesis (avoid statements about how a process is not well understood), objectives of the study, the experimental approach, major results and conclusion, with the last sentence of the abstract providing a strong summary statement of the study.
Unexplained abbreviations should be avoided; the abstract must be straightforward not a puzzle.
Do not include references in the abstract.
Do not use words that do not add meaning and are difficult to verify (novelty claims).
Five Keywords for indexing should be provided after the abstract which can be used for indexing purposes. Keywords that are too general and multiple concepts should be avoided.
Abbreviations and acronyms: Do not use uncommon abbreviations and acronyms in the manuscript title, abstract or paper description/highlights. The full name must be given on first appearance and only once in full, with the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses, and used consistently thereafter. If there are many abbreviations, you can also provide a list of them in one paragraph after the keywords; as in the manuscript, the full name must be followed by the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum.
Scientific names of plant and animal species: A species name is written in italics. It consists of two words: the first is the genus name, which is always capitalized, the second is the species epithet, which is never capitalized. Once a full scientific name has been used, the genus name may be abbreviated by its first letter. Names of families, orders, classes, phyla and kingdoms are capitalized but not italicized.
Gene symbols should be italicized; protein products of the loci are not italicized.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should provide a clear and balanced (concise but sufficiently informative) overview of selected recent literature relevant to the topic of the manuscript, i.e. a description of the problem addressed in the manuscript and the aim of the work.
This section must not contain subheadings; it must not refer to any supplied tables nor figures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The Materials and Methods section must be divided into appropriate subsections.
The Materials and Methods should provide enough detail to allow full replication of experiments. While a detailed description of a novel protocol is encouraged, well-established methods can be cited as articles in which the protocols are described in detail.
The Ethics Statement must be declared in the manuscript under the first heading of the Materials and Methods section.
Studies involving animals (live vertebrates) must be performed in strict accordance with internationally-accepted standards and regulations. Authors must obtain prior approval from their Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee or equivalent Institutional Ethics Committee at submission as a separate supplementary file.
For experiments (biochemical research) involving human subjects, authors must present an Institutional Review Board (IRB) statement. Authors must identify the committee approving the experiments and include with their submission a statement confirming that Informed Consent was obtained from all subjects. This must be declared in the manuscript under the first heading of the Materials and Methods section.
Apply SI Unit rules and style conventions.
The International System of Units (SI) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds should be adhered to.
Note that the parts-per notation is a set of pseudo-units to describe small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities, e.g. mole fraction or mass fraction. This notation is not part of the SI system and its meaning is ambiguous. Use SI-compliant expression as an alternative [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation]
Units of measurement format: The SI prescribes inserting a space between a number and a unit of measurement and between units in compound units, but never between a prefix and a base unit (5.0 cm not 125px or 5.0 c m. However, temperatures should be written without a space, e.g. 20°C); an exception is the percent symbol % which is written without a space (10% not 10 %) as % is not an SI unit and the recommendation is often not followed. The liter (litre) should be written using an uppercase "L". Seconds are written as "s" not "sec", hours are written as "h" not "hrs", days are written as "days" not "d". Centrifugation: express the acceleration applied to the sample in units of gravity or "x g", not in rpm.
Apply scientific rules for the use of space.
The decimal mark is a dot (.), not a decimal comma. Numbers between −1 and +1 require a leading zero (0.01, not .01).
The probability value or P is UPPERCASE and not italicized, and there is no hyphen between "P" and "value".
All numbers should be given as numerals (e.g. “In 2 previous studies…”, "...4th group", etc.).
Species names must be written in italics. For more information, please refer to: [http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/frank/kiss/kiss6.htm].
Gene symbols should be italicized.
Protein products of the loci are not italicized.
Experimental groups should not be presented as a bulleted list but in one paragraph.
Experimental animals are not sacrificed, they are killed.
Information related to the Materials and Methods section, such as list of primers, methods, calculations, maps, etc., must either be incorporated in the section in the text and not as a table, or uploaded as online supplemental material (see below).
RESULTS
The results must not be combined with the discussion in a "Results and Discussion" section.
The results should present clearly and concisely the obtained findings. Related findings must be presented as one figure comprised of several sub-figures, labeled “A”, “B”, “C”, etc. and described under one figure legend. (For detailed instructions regarding the presentation of results see below).
This section should be divided with subheadings that convey information about the findings. Reuse the subheadings of the Results section in the Figure Legends to make the relationship clear.
Essential background information related to the Results section, such as maps, large data sets, etc. must be uploaded as online SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL (see below).
There must be no mention of the placement of tables and figures nor placement of tables/figures in the body of the text. Tables and figures are presented at the end of the manuscript, after the references.
DISCUSSION
The discussion should provide an interpretation of the results. It should not be redundant with the Results. Authors should avoid overloading this section with excessive citations and lengthy reinterpretations of related literature and must focus on their findings. Authors should avoid over interpretation of data and drawing conclusions for which they have not provided sufficient experimental proof.
Please take note when writing the discussion that the past tense should indicate that a result is not established knowledge, while the present tense stresses the general validity of an observation.
The discussion section should not include subheadings.
Do not refer to specific (numbered) tables or figures mentioned in the results section; if a novel mechanism, model or hypothesis is presented in the last figure and is discussed, specific figure mention is allowed.
CONCLUSIONS
The conclusions section is optional. It should provide a brief summary of the presented findings.
This section must not be written in a routine manner, without much care or attention, by copy/pasting parts of the abstract.
It must not contain a bulleted list of conclusions.
The conclusions should preferably be presented in one paragraph, without references.
Funding: All funding sources supporting the work must be fully acknowledged.
Acknowledgements: Persons who contributed to the work but do not fit authorship criteria should be mentioned.
Author contributions: This should include a statement of the different responsibilities that specify the contribution of every author.
Conflict of interest disclosure: If necessary, authors should describe any potential conflicts of interest.
