Authors' Rights and Obligations

Publishing in the International Journal of Advanced Biochemistry Research is a partnership. We have obligations to you, and you have obligations to us and to our readers. This document spells out what each side can expect.

Your Obligations as an Author

Conduct Ethical Research: Before you even think about submitting to us, your research needs to have been conducted ethically. For studies involving human subjects, this means obtaining approval from an Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee.

Submit Original, Unpublished Work: What you send us should be your own work, and it shouldn't have been published elsewhere. We also expect that you're not simultaneously shopping the same manuscript to other journals.

Prepare Your Manuscript Properly: A well-prepared manuscript helps everyone. Follow our formatting guidelines. Structure your paper logically. Make sure figures and tables are clear and properly labelled.

Disclose Conflicts of Interest: If you have financial interests, consulting relationships, or other connections that could be seen as influencing your research, say so.

Respond Promptly: If we ask you to revise and resubmit, we'll give you a deadline. Please meet it. If you can't, let us know — we're reasonable people.

Settle Article Processing Charges: International Journal of Advanced Biochemistry Research charges article processing fees to cover the costs of peer review, editing, production, and open-access hosting. Publication proceeds once payment is received.

Your Rights as an Author

Acknowledgment of Submission: When you submit a manuscript, you should receive confirmation that we've got it. If you don't hear from us within a few days, something may have gone wrong.

Timely Editorial Decisions: We know waiting is hard. We aim to make decisions as quickly as we reasonably can while still doing justice to the review process.

Withdrawal at Any Time: Changed your mind? You can withdraw your manuscript from consideration at any point before acceptance.

Right to Appeal: If your manuscript is rejected and you believe the decision was wrong, you can appeal. Put your case in writing, be specific about why you think the decision should be reconsidered.

Archiving and Sharing Your Published Work: Once your paper is published, you're free to share it. You can deposit the published version in institutional repositories, university databases, or academic networking sites.

Standards We Follow

This policy is developed in accordance with guidance from the Council of Science Editors (CSE).
