Tables
Tables should be embedded within the text at appropriate points, rather than placed at the end of the manuscript. Each table must include a concise, descriptive title positioned above the table.
Page Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author via the official Bulletin of Biomathematics email address. Authors are responsible for carefully reviewing the proofs and returning any corrections within 48 hours of receipt to avoid publication delays.
Author Roles and Responsibilities
Development of background theory,
Design of experiments,
Creation of device prototypes,
Data analysis and interpretation,
Writing the article or reviewing and/or revising the text and/or figures.
Authors are expected to reach a mutual agreement regarding authorship and the order of author names prior to submission. In cases where an agreement cannot be reached, it is the responsibility of the institution(s) where the research was conducted to investigate and resolve the dispute. The Bulletin of Biomathematics will not arbitrate authorship disagreements. In the event of an unresolved conflict, the journal reserves the right to withdraw the manuscript from the review process until a resolution has been reached and confirmed by all parties involved.
Responsibility of the Corresponding Author
The corresponding author plays a key role in the submission and publication process and is responsible for the following:The publication policy of the Bulletin of Biomathematics (BBM) Journal is founded on the principles of impartiality, respect, and the advancement of knowledge. All editorial and review processes conducted in accordance with this policy play a critical role in maintaining and enhancing the quality of submissions from authors and their affiliated institutions.
BBM is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in scholarly publishing. Ethical conduct is expected from all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher. BBM adheres to the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines as outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and it has adopted the International Ethical Publishing Principles established by the COPE, the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).
