GUIDE TO AUTHORS

Please use the  JOURNAL OF BIOPROCESSING AND BIOMASS TECHNOLOGY TEMPLATE provided in this SUBMISSION PACKAGE. Kindly refer to Template Checklist for Guidance. Each submission must include :

In making sure your article will be accepted for publication, please refer to our Journal Policy

(1) Manuscripts should be not less than 5 pages but not over 15 pages and must be submitted online only.

(2) Manuscripts must be written in standard academic English.

(3) Manuscripts must not have been published with ISSN/ISBN anywhere else before, nor is it currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The submitted manuscripts will becarefully checked for plagiarism.

(4) Manuscripts must be submitted as a MS Word document and strictly follow Journal of Bioprocessing and Biomass Technolgy format requirements. Manuscripts that do not comply with the format requirements will NOT be proceeded to review process.

(5) Authors must ensure that the manuscript is entirely original except for material in the public domain and such excerpts from other works. Credits should be properly given to the original authors if their works are referred to, quoted or cited or, if necessary, the written permission of the copyright owners should be obtained; and the work does not contain any libelous or injurious formulas, recipes, or instructions; that the work does not infringe any trade name, trademark, or copyright; and that the work does not invade or violate any right of privacy, personal or proprietary right, or other common law or statutory right.

(6) Manuscripts will be pre-screened by the Editorial Office. Manuscripts that do not conform to any of the requirements stated above, lack sufficient quality and relevance to the journal’s scopes might be subject to be rejected at the Pre-review stage.

The submitted papers are subject to a double-blinded peer review process, in order for the Editorial Board to select for publishing the articles meeting the highest possible standards in electrical engineering. The reviewers' identities are not disclosed to the authors, nor are the authors' identities disclosed to the reviewers.

When a manuscript is submitted to JEST Journal, it undergoes an initial prescreening by the Editorial Board in order to determine whether or not the paper fits the scope of the Journal. If the Editorial Board feels the manuscript meets the journal's minimum standards for publication, the paper then enters a blind reviewing process.

In the main reviewing phase, the Executive Editor or a designated editorial board member sends the received papers, without the name and affiliation of the authors, to two experts in the field, by using the on-line web-based paper management system. The electronic evaluation form used by reviewers contains a checklist in order to help referees to cover all aspects that can decide the publication. In the final section of the evaluation form, the reviewers must include observations and suggestions for improvement that are sent to the authors, without the names of the reviewers.

All the reviewers of a paper remain anonymous to the authors and act independently before, during, and after the evaluation process. If the decisions of the two reviewers are not the same (accept/reject), the paper is sent to a third reviewer.

The final decision for publication is done by the Editor-in-Chief based on the scrutiny of reviewers and the scope of the journal.

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the quality and selection of manuscripts chosen to be published, and the authors are always responsible for the content of each article.

A brief acknowledgment of not more than 50 words should be included at the end of the manuscripts, before the list of references. Acknowledgement could be made to funding body, institution/ universities/ organization or individual/ person.

Example:

1. Acknowledgement to funding body (Grant number) : This work was supported by the Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa].

2. Acknowledgement to institution/universities/organization: We would like to thank XYZ University for their helpful feedback and support.

3. Acknowledgement to individual/person: We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our supervisor, Professor John Doe, for his valuable guidance and support throughout the research process.
