Notice
To be cited Notulae Scientia Biologicae orabbreviated title Not Sci Biol.
The Editorial Board of Not Sci Biol is not responsible for statements and opinions published;
they represent the views of the authors or persons to whom they are credited. Publication of research information does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of products involved.
Aims and scope
Notulae Scientia Biologicae is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers, critical reviews and short reviews on life sciences and medicine, development of new methodologies that can be of interest to a wide audience of scientists in all areas of biology sciences. The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of biology, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, biotechnology and medicine, thereby maximizing the impact, spreading and value of their research. The papers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in life and medical sciences.
Articles should make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological, agricultural and medical concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Scientia Biologicae or Not Sci Biol) are mentioned.
Submission
The journal offers to authors a fully web-enabled online manuscript submission, instructions for authors and review system available at https://www.notulaebiologicae.ro
Papers are published in English (British spelling) and the authors are fully responsible for the originality of their papers and for the correctness of their subject-matter, language and formal attributes. Authors whose mother tongue is not English are strongly urged to have their manuscripts reviewed linguistically before submission.
Manuscripts submitted must be edited, for clarity and conformity purposes according to Author’s guidelines, and must not have been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
The papers can be submitted online by the “senior author” (the main author, or the person who takes responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from submission to the published article). The submission process is described on the web site.
An Author Statement, available on the website, should be enclosed by “senior author” declaring that the paper has not been published anywhere else, permission to reproduce the material, authorship credit, contributors and creditors for the integrity of the work as a whole, to avoid the conflicts of interest and scientist fraud, and respecting the ethical principles of publishing, research and scientific rights.
Publication Frequency
Quarterly (four issues per volume/year):
Issue 1: January-March Issue 2: April-June Issue 3: July-September Issue 4: October-December
