Article Processing Charges (APC) :

.

Average Article prorcessing time (APT) is 55 days

IOMC Publisher is a self-financed and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the Journal operate solely through processing charges we receive from the authors and some academic/corporate sponsors.

Note: This publication charges are applicable to invited authors also.

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process):

Journal of Biology and Today’s World is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee.Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.

7. Publication Ethics

According to Journal of Biology and Today's World Publication Ethics in the event that there are documented violations of any of the mentioned policies in Journal of biology and today’s world regardless of whether or not the violations occurred in Journal of biology and today’s world, the following sanctions will be applied:

Immediate rejection (with editor or under review) or remove (inpress or published) of the infringing manuscript.

Immediate rejection of every other manuscript submitted to Journal of biology and today’s world by any of the authors of the infringing manuscript. The professional black list system that provided by IOMC Publishercarefully follows all authors.

Prohibition against all of the authors for any new submissions to Journal of biology and today’s world, either individually or in combination with other authors of the infringing manuscript, as well as in combination with any other authors. This prohibition will be imposed for a minimum of 24 months.

Prohibition against all of the authors from serving on the Editorial Board of Journal of biology and today’s world (for major abuse).

if the authors somehow attempting to deceive the journal by make copy from other References without citing them, have data fabrication, disagreement between authors or failure to respect the ethical rights for the cases studied in clinical trials, then their paper at any step, for instance: with editor, under review, inpress or published, to be removed from the IOMCPublisherdatabase and a report based on their wrong performance will be published in journal website. Therefore we expected, that authors respect for the rules, so everything is ideal both for Journal of Biology and Today’s World and authors. When the violations of the above policies are found to be particularly flagrant, the Journal of biology and today’s world reserves the right to impose additional sanctions beyond those described above.

8. Medical Ethics

8.1. Informed consent

In general, informed consent assumes that you are legally able to make your own decisions. For informed consent to take place, the information that’s given must be understood. The informed consent process is meant to give patients ongoing explanations that will help them make informed decisions about whether to start or stay in a clinical trial. The most important part of this process is their everyday interaction and discussions with the research team and other medical staff before, during, and after the trial. The consent form can be a great tool to help get this conversation started. This is all done so that patients can make the best decision for him/her, and to be sure that they are able to choose freely whether to enroll in or stay in the study. Much of this information may be on the consent form itself, which also regularly describes that they can withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. Before, during, and even after the clinical trial, patients will have the chance to ask questions and voice their concerns. Informed consent for clinical trials goes on for as long as the research lasts, and even afterward. Also IOMC Publisherand Journal of Biology and Today's World confirmed and followed WMA Declaration of Helsinki - Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects.

8.2. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approve

FDA is responsible for protective the community health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical procedures, nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that release radioactivity. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is the basic food and drug law of the U.S. With many revisions, it is the most extensive law of its kind in the world. The law is planned to assure the user that foods are pure and healthy, safe to eat, and produced under healthy conditions; that drugs and devices are safe and effective for their proposed uses; that cosmetics are safe and made from suitable ingredients; and that all labeling and packaging is truthful, informative, and not deceptive. The authors on human medical studies should use of FDA approved products, IOMC Publisherand Journal of Biology and Today's World required it.

8.3. Animals in Medical Researches

Animal welfare approves the in control use of animals to satisfy certain human requirements - from friendship and hobby, to uses that involve the taking of life, such as for food, clothing, and medical study. The authors on Animal medical studies should use of Animal welfare, statements and IOMC Publisherapproved it.

9. Authors’ contribution

This phrase often differs in level of aspect, and depends on the topical area of study. A statement of contribution make available validation for the order of authorship, and it also assigns proper credit for academic contributions to the reported results. This is especially important where large research teams or multiple divisions within a company are involved in collaborative research. Here you can find a sample of Authors’ contribution.

Author X contributed in all trials, coordinated the data-analysis and contributed to the writing of the manuscript.

Author Y is corresponding to the methods and experimental section.

Author Z designed the research strategy and prepared the study

This step is necessary for IOMC Publisherand Journal of Biology and Today's World and you can find it in step 2 (submit new manuscript-IOMC manuscript tracking system).

We provide this section online: step 2 (submit new manuscript-IOMCmanuscript tracking system)

The submitter author and corresponding author is responsible to any filled Authors’ contribution.

10. Authorship Changes

11. Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest (COI) is a condition in which a person or institute is involved in several benefits (financial, emotional, or otherwise), one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation of the individual or organization. The occurrence of a conflict of interest is independent of the occurrence of impropriety. In IOMC Publisherall authors of all types of journal manuscripts are required to show any financial interest in or arrangements with any company whose product was used in a study or is referred to in the paper or any other conditions that could have potentially biased the work reported its conclusions, suggestions, or opinion reports. These include, for example, direct or indirect sources of funding for the specific author(s) or for the related department(s) or organization(s), particular relationships, or direct academic opposition. If the manuscript is published, acknowledgment of all sources of funding and financial involvements related to work must be made in the paper, and whether the study was started and analyzed by the investigator or by the funding source must be divulged. At the end of the manuscript text "Conflict of Interest ", all authors must resolve any financial and personal relationships with other persons or organizations that could unfortunately influence (bias) their work. If there are no conflicts of interest, the authors should fill related check box in step 6 (submit new manuscript-IOMCmanuscript tracking system), "The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest. IOMC Publisherand Journal of Biology and Today's World uses the Conflict of Interest Release form approved by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
