Aim and Scope

Biological Sciences is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access online journal published quarterly by IR Research Publication. Our aim is to advance the understanding of life sciences through the dissemination of high-quality research across a broad spectrum of medical, pharmaceutical, and biological disciplines.

We recognize the importance of timely communication in scientific research. Therefore, we are committed to providing a swift review process, with a target of delivering the first decision within one week of submission.

Our journal welcomes a diverse array of manuscript types, including Research Articles, Full-length Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Short Communications, Mini-Reviews, Methods, and Opinion. We strive to offer a platform for both groundbreaking discoveries and thoughtful analysis in the life sciences.

Biological Sciences is proudly indexed in Crossref, Google Scholar, BASE, J-Gate, OCLC, Advanced Science Index, and Dimensions, ensuring wide visibility and accessibility of our published work. Additionally, our content is preserved and archived in LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, and the WorldCat, Internet Archive, guaranteeing long-term availability.

We invite submissions from researchers worldwide and are dedicated to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment for the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
