Author Guidelines
Authors could submit their manuscripts online though our submission system or send us an e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at editor@wren.research-journals.com
Policy
Journal of Biology and Health Science publishes original research articles of outstanding medical importance. We will consider manuscripts of any length; we encourage the submission of both substantial full-length bodies of work and shorter manuscripts that report novel findings that might be based on a more limited range of experiments.
The writing style should be concise and accessible, avoiding jargon so that the paper is understandable for readers outside a specialty or those whose first language is not English. Editors will make suggestions for how to achieve this, as well as suggestions for cuts or additions that could be made to the article to strengthen the argument. Our aim is to make the editorial process rigorous and consistent, but not intrusive or overbearing. Authors are encouraged to use their own voices and to decide how best to present their ideas, results, and conclusions. Although we encourage submissions from around the globe, we require that manuscripts be submitted in English. Authors who do not use English as a first language may contact us for additional information. As a step towards overcoming language barriers on acceptance of the paper, we encourage authors fluent in other languages to provide copies of their full articles or abstracts in other languages. We will publish these translations as supporting information and list them, together with other supporting information files, at the end of the article text.
Article Processing Charges (APC):
Publishing with open access is not without costs; Journal of Biology and Health Science defrays those costs from article-processing charges (APCs) payable by authors once the manuscript has been accepted for publication. APC includes peer-reviewing, editing, publishing, archiving and other costs associated with publication of the articles.
If author wants to make their article on subscription mode, then author needs to pay the basic production cost of 25 Euros which includes (Pre- quality, review, Graphic, HTML). If author wants to withdraw the article after 78 Hours of receiving the author need to pay the 40% of open Access article processing fees. Since, the review process requires input of Editors, Reviewers, Associate Managing Editors, Editorial Assistants, Content Writers, Editorial Managing System & other online tracking systems to ensure that the published article is of good quality and is in its best possible form.

The average Article processing time (APT) is 22 days
The basic article processing fee or manuscript handling cost is as per the price mentioned above on the other hand it may vary based on the extensive editing, colored effects, complex equations, extra elongation of no. of pages of the article, etc.
Organization of the Manuscript
The manuscript, as well as all subsequent revised versions, should be submitted in a unique file arranged as follow: Title page, Abstract (if required), Text, References, Tables, Figure legends, and Figures/Images. Please do not submit this material as supplementary files, therefore figures/images and tables must be inserted inside the manuscript file after the Reference list.
SOURCE DATA, REPORTS OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, AND OTHER MATERIALS ABOUT THE RESULTS OF RESEARCHES
Authors who publish in the Journal of Biology and Health Science can make their source data, reports of statistical analysis, as well as any other materials that they judge important, freely available to the scientific community.
Source data: Journal of Biology and Health Science strongly invites authors to supply the database of all cases and variables described in the article to be published together with the manuscript. The database may consist of one or more files. Files should be provided in Microsoft Excel 97 (or later); however, other commonly used database formats may be accepted. The authors must provide a detailed list of the entire set of variables, reporting their names, descriptions (according to the text of the manuscript), and coded values.
Statistical reports: The original statistical outputs, reporting the entire set of statistics described in the article, may also be published. The statistics must be reported consecutively, following the order in which they appear within the text. One or more files may be provided. The format of files should be Microsoft Word, hypertext (.html), or ASCII text. The original files produced by the statistical package used by the authors cannot be accepted if they are in a format different from the ones mentioned above; in that case, authors must export/convert them according to the instructions above.
Other materials: Any other supplementary materials that the authors judge important in order to improve the knowledge of their results can be made freely available to the scientific community. The format of the files must be readable by commonly used software.
Provide source data, reports of statistical analysis, and other materials as “Supplementary files”. A file containing a detailed description of the supplementary materials must be also provided.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Title page
The title page should be placed at the beginning of the manuscript.
Provide a concise title. List the full names of the author(s) and indicate the institutional affiliation (if more than one institution is involved, indicate individual affiliation by means of a superscript Arabic number). List 3 to 10 keywords (they must be related to the manuscript. List nonstandard abbreviations used, with their expansions, in alphabetical order. Acknowledge personal assistance and providers of special reagents and list grants and other financial support. Complete institution, address, telephone, and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address, of the corresponding author, should appear on the title page.
Authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist. Authors should do so in the manuscript in a conflict-of-interest notification statement on the title page, providing additional detail, if necessary, in a cover letter that accompanies the manuscript submission.
The text should be structured according to the instructions reported below.
The use of nonstandard abbreviations is discouraged. Non-standard abbreviations may be used when a term is frequently used. In this case, the abbreviation should be spelled out, in parentheses, in its first use in the text, and also listed on the title page. Abbreviations used in Figures or Tables should be defined in the legend.
Drugs and chemicals should be used by generic name. If trademarks are mentioned, the manufacturer's name, city, and country should be given.
Original articles
The text should be structured in the following way: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Ethics, Statistics, Results, and Discussion.
Abstract: It should be structured. In 250 words or less; state: Context, Objective, Design, Setting, Patients or participants, Interventions, Main outcome measures, Results, and Conclusions. Do not use nonstandard abbreviations, footnotes, or references.
Introduction: Summarize the rationale for the study and state the purpose of the article.
Methods: Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects (including controls). Identify the methods, apparatus, and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Precisely identify all drugs and chemicals used. Reports of randomized trials should present information on all major study elements including the protocol, assignment of intervention, and the method of masking.
Statistics: Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader to access the original data to verify the reported results. Quantify findings with appropriate indicators of uncertainty (SD, SEM, 95% CI, range, n-tiles, etc). Give the numbers of observations and report losses to observation. The exact P values (3 digits) must be given for all the statistical evaluations made.
