The Society for Science & Nature, Bhopal categorically states that, for maintaining high publication standards and quality, it does not publish any journal, other than Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications.

In order to maintain fair practice of publication of the journal, the publisher  solemnly affirms that  it believes in strictly following  standard  international norms and guidelines of quality publication. We are committed to following the best practices of this publication with regard to policies of plagiarism, collaboration, originality, fraud and conflict of interests. A flow chart is provided on our journals website explaining the processing of all received manuscripts, within a 90 days-time bound transparent frame work. No manuscript is published before the stipulated period of 90 days, from the date of submission to final publication, without critical external peer reviews, ensuing several revisions, and modifications of the reviewed manuscripts, which is the hall mark of Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications, please see www.bbrc.in

All the submitted research papers have to pass through an initial editorial screening and are evaluated through the advanced plagiarism detection soft wares.

Disclaimer on Predatory Journal Alert

We have learnt that several predatory journal agents and operators are using vital information from the website of Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications to promote themselves as publishers  or agents of Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications. We have no agents, nor we have authorised any person(s) to promote the publication of research papers in Biosc.Biotech.Res.Comm. Manuscripts  in our journal  can only   be  submitted  for publication by genuine  authors using  the on-line registration and submission  mode of our website.

These operators send out email messages to researchers soliciting research papers and offer speedy publication often asking them to deposit manuscript submission charges for publication in Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications and its related journals under the banner of Society for Science & Nature Bhopal India.

This is a typical predatory journal behaviour and a fraud perpetrated on the research community. It misleads uninformed and unsuspecting researchers who are seeking publication and does damage to the reputation of Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications, which is the only single journal published since last 14 years by a highly academic non- profit Society for Science and Nature from Bhopal Madhya Pradesh India, not from  anywhere else nor having multiple publications or fake journals. We have strictly kept to a single academic  publication of high quality and timely schedule following rigorous ethical and other best practices of academic  publishing as described above.

This note is to alert our readers and researchers to this and we request everyone who received an email message from such predatory journal fraudsters. We request readers and others targeted by such predatory entities to alert us and forward any message they receive from such entities. There is a lot of information about predatory and fake journals on the Internet. For a general introduction see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_open_access_publishing

Since last 14 years the highly experienced and qualified editorial team of Biosc.Biotech.Res.Comm has been trying very hard to maintain the standards of a meticulous and timely publication. With a bit of pride and great sense of pleasure, we state that the processing of every single manuscript in Bioscience Biotechnology Research Communications, revolves around rigorous reviewing,  editing, language polishing and  state of the art publishing. As a large number of manuscripts, are received from all over the world, despite a 50 % rejection rate, certainly makes us stand apart in the crowd of publication. This   has also earned the journal a place in the indexing giants, the Thomson Reuters, ISI, now Clarivate Analytics, Web of Science ESCI and many other prestigious indexing agencies.
