1 Aims and Scope

The results of research related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are disseminated through an extremely broad range of fields and journals, GMO biosafety research journal will fill this gap. GMO biosafety research has become a particularly interesting intellectual topic based on this interdisciplinary feature, making an on-going in the future.

 

All areas pertinent to the biosafety of organisms intentionally or accidentally introduced into the GMOs will be considered, including innovative and significant research work; studies of GMO and biodiversity, environmental release of genetically modified plants, GMO detection methods and technologies; assessment of GM food safety testing, GMOs and public health, as well as the risk assessment of GMOs and the regulatory strategy for GMOs. GMO biosafety research will publish papers on all types of GMOs, including plants, animals and microbes. Studies on non-GMOs that illuminate or parallel GMO issues will also be considered.

 

The publication of the journal is new insights that are not only of broad interest to microbiologist, molecular geneticist, and molecular biologists, but also appropriate for teachers students and  researchers who engaged in genetically modified, and readers interested in biosafety research.

 

2 Copyright

The authors permanently reserve the copyright for their publications and have granted the rights to any third party in advance for using, reproducing or disseminatiing the work under the terms of copyright and license of the EcoEvo Publisher’s constitutions and adopted law and regulations.

 

3 Manuscripts Submission

Manuscripts must be submitted to GMO Biosafety Research electronically by EcoEvo Publisher's online submission system. In cases that online submission system is not available; you can submit your manuscript to the submission email of GMO Biosafety Research : edit@gmo.ecoevopublisher.com. If both of the above ways do not work out, you can directly send your manuscripts to service@SophiaPublisher.com. The editors will handle your submission within five working days.

 

Preferred file formats of manuscripts are Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format (RTF). Figures, tables, movies and raw data can be submitted as supplemental files.

 

A cover letter must be submitted along with the manuscript during the submission, which should contain a brief explanation of what was previously known, the conceptual advance provided by the findings, and the importance of the findings to a broad readership, as well as how and why their major findings relate to the scope of the journal. Closely related papers submitted elsewhere or in press should be noted in the cover letter and uploaded as additional supplementally files in the online submission system. The cover letter is confidential to the editor and will not be seen by reviewers.

 

3.2 Corresponding Author

The full name, the contact information, and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be provided. We take the corresponding author as the responsible author, which means that the corresponding author takes the following responsibility:

 

The corresponding authors warrant, on behalf of themselves and their co-authors, that:

 

** The article is original, has not been formally published in any other peer-reviewed journal, and does not infringe any existing copyright;

 

** All the authors have agreed with the authorship of the manuscript and its submission to GMO Biosafety Research;

 

** All the authors has read and approved the content of the paper;

 

** The article contains nothing that is unlawful, libellous;

 

** All statements contained in it purporting to be facts are true, and any formula or instruction contained in the article will not, if followed accurately, cause any injury, illness or damage to the user.

 

** Official approval of all the original authors must be provided before any changes in authorship.

 

** Any reasonable demands for the necessary materials to justify the research results should be satisfied.

 

Please inform the Editorial Office of GMO Biosafety Research if the contact information of the corresponding author changes after submission.

 

4 Article processing

Scientists all over the world are invited to be as peer reviewers for this journal. All submission will be automatically transferred online to the reviewers by Manuscript Proceeding System in the EcoEvo Publisher prior to CrossRef's plagiarism check. (see EcoEvo Publisher peer review policy for further information)

 

GMO Biosafety Research offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review. Normally the publication period is two or four weeks depend on the speed of peer review. Using the recommended manuscript preparation formats will largely speed up the paper procedures and shorten the periods. Research articles will be published electronically in provisional PDF immediately upon acceptance. A fully structured web version HTML and PDF download version will be uploaded within four weeks after acceptance.

 

GMO Biosafety Research is affiliated with other biology journals published by  EcoEvo Publisher, including the release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), GMO safety, as well as the risk assessment and risk management of GMOs. If referees judge that a manuscript is sound but not of special interest and therefore not appropriate for GMO Biosafety Research, the referee reports can be shared with other journals published by  EcoEvo Publisher. Transferring a manuscript from one journal to another will not incur delays. Conversely, if a manuscript submitted to a sister journal in the  EcoEvo Publisher series is judged to be of exceptional interest by the referees and editors. We may offer publication in GMO Biosafety Research.

 

5 Article-processing charges

All journals under EcoEvo Publisher do not require article processing charges (APCs) and offer free publication and free access. However, Open access publications are not without costs. As a publisher, EcoEvo Publisher needs to pay platform operation fees to publishing platform operators. These fees are used for server rentals, journal publishing systems, publishing databases, access space, software upgrades, and the daily operation and maintenance of the journal publishing system. In order to promote the prosperity and development of open access journals, we encourage research institutions, researchers, and authors publishing in EcoEvo Publisher journals to make voluntary donations. We appreciate your support for the open access publishing model.
