Guide for Authors

Author Guideline

Online submission is mandatory for Journal of Computational Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. For the submission of new manuscripts, a single Word DOC file needs to be uploaded as “manuscript” on the File Upload screen. Tables and all graphics should be embedded in the DOC file in the text where they belong (not collected at the end). Also, figures should be sent as separate files. By submitting a manuscript, your name, email address, and affiliation, and other contact details are required.

Your paper should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion; acknowledgments; references; tables with captions; figures; figure captions (on individual file).

Font

Use Times New Roman font in size 12 with double-line spacing.

Title

The title should be clear, concise and informative, intelligible to experts in different disciplines, and represent the substance of the article. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

Abstract

The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. Also, abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords         

Immediately after the abstract, a maximum of five keywords should be given in alphabetical order. They covering the most precise phrases in the article.

Introduction

Describe the objectives of the study and provide adequate background. Avoid a detailed literature review or a summary of the findings.

Material and methods

Describe the objectives of the study and provide adequate background. Avoid a detailed literature review or a summary of the findings. Methods that have already been published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. Cite the source as well as the quotation marks if you are quoting directly from a previously published method. Describe any modifications to existing methods as well.

Results and Discussion

The results should be clear and concise. In this section, the results of the experiments should be presented, and the results can then be interpreted. The authors should explain how the results relate to the hypothesis presented as the basis for the study and provide concise explanations of the implications of the findings, especially in relation to previous related studies and potential directions for future research.

Conclusion

 Conclusions should be interpretations of your findings, where you summarize all of the important concepts you introduced in the main body of your text in descending order of importance. New concepts should not be introduced here.

Acknowledgments

Before the reference list, acknowledgments of persons, grants, money, and so forth should be included in a separate section.

References

It is important to provide references that are well-balanced, current, and relevant. They should be closely related to your research question. When preparing your paper, please use the Vancouver output style in EndNote.
