Journal of Bioresources and Environmental Sciences publishes research results in interdisciplinary fields of bioresourecs and environmental scienecs that have never been published or are currently being considered for publication in other journals.
Manuscripts in one column form submitted to the Journal of Bioresources and Environmental Sciences must follow the Article Writing Guidelines on this page, or you can also use a script template (camera ready format) in MS.Word here (download)
Manuscript Submission
Authors must submit the manuscript in a soft file form via online submission, by attaching:
1. Cover letter
2. Proposed Potential Reviewer
3. The Manuscript
1. General Overview of Peer Review Process
Basically, the submitted manuscripts will be evaluated by a reviewer appointed by the editorial board.
The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed for the first time by the Editor in Chief or Managing Editor for language suitability and conformity with the scope of the journal and writing procedures according to the author gudilines. If according to the editor the manuscript is fit for review by a team of reviewers consisting of 2 people, then the manuscript will be sent to the reviewer, but if the manuscript does not match the initial criteria, then the manuscript will be returned to the author.
A review team of 2 people will conduct a review using the single blind review process method. The assessment criteria include originality, significance and writing. Editorial Board has the authority to accept or reject the submitted manuscript, as well as ask the author to send back the submitted manuscript.Plagiarism screening of texts submitted to this journal is carried out with the help of TURNITIN apps. The more plagiarism, the article will be immediately rejected (if more than 20% does not include a bibliography).
2. Spesific Overview of Peer-Review Process
Reviewers will be asked to provide comments in a detailed and constructive manner where the comments will be the basis for consideration for editors to reject or accept articles that have been submitted. Some things that need attention from the reviewer are as follows:
a. Originality and significance
Reviewers are asked to discuss the originality of the findings submitted in an article. In addition, reviewers should see whether the findings can significantly influence the scientific community. If the reviewer finds the same work as the article being reviewed, the reviewer can provide suggestions or criticism to improve the way the research results are delivered.
b. The novelty of the theoretical approach and how to discuss the problems
Reviewers are asked to discuss the novelty of the theoretical approach and the way the authors discuss the results of research to solve problems. This novelty element can usually be seen in the introduction section as an introduction to the urgency of the research that has been done.
c. Strengths and weaknesses of the method used
Reviewers are expected to be able to assess the method used. Statistical analysis or other analytical methods that affect the interpretation of results should be criticized in order to improve the quality of the article being reviewed.
d. Reliability of the appearance of research results and conclusions
Reviewers are expected to be able to assess the reliability of the research results and conclusions obtained. This reliability can be assessed through the completeness of the analysis and the data that has been obtained.
e. Layout alignment with the guidelines
Alignment with the guidelines will make it easier for editors to do the editing and lay-outing process. Many writers often ignore this and only format their writing incompletely and perfectly according to the guidelines given. Reviewers can assess this but the main focus is on the content and some previous points.
f. Suggestion and feedback
When found several errors or shortcomings of an article, the reviewer is expected to be able to show clearly, which parts should be improved and what needs to be done to improve the quality of the article.
3. Writting and Formatting
STANDARD PAPERS. Original articles (at least 6000 words) inclusive of all parts of the paper . Typescripts should be arranged as follows, with each section starting on a separate page.
Title Page
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract (150-250 words) is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Keywords. A list in alphabetical order not exceeding ten words or short phrases, excluding words used in the title and chosen carefully to reflect the precise content of the paper.
Introduction. State the reason for the work, the context, background, aims and the hypotheses being tested. End the Introduction with a brief statement of what has been achieved.
Materials and methods. Include sufficient details for the work to be repeated. Where specific equipment and materials are named, the manufacturer’s details (name, city and country) should be given so that readers can trace specifications by contacting the manufacturer. Where commercially available software has been used, details of the supplier should be given in brackets or the reference given in full in the reference list.
Results and Discussion. State the results of experimental or modelling work, drawing attention to important details in tables and figures and discuss them intensively by citing other refrences.
Conclusion. Give the main findings and conclude the result and discussion
Acknowledgements. Be brief. If authors refer to themselves as recipients of assistance or funding, they should do so by their initials separated by points (e.g. J.B.T.). Do not acknowledge Editors by name.
References (see Manuscript Specifications below).
Tables. Each table should be inserted in body-text and numbered as well as accompanied by a legend at the top. These should be referred to in the text as Table 1, etc. Avoid duplication between figures and tables.
Figures . Figures and their legends should be inserted in body text manuscript. Figures should be referred to in the text as Fig. 1, Figs 1 & 2, etc. Photographic material should also be referred to as Figures. The figures must be in high resolution and no blur.
CITATIONS AND REFERENCES. Citation to work by four or more authors should be abbreviated with the use of et al. (e.g. Manel et al. 1999). Citation to work by one, two or three authors should always give the author names in full. Work with the same first author and date should be coded by letters, e.g. Thompson et al.(1991a,b). Citations should be listed in chronological order in the text and be separated by a semi-colon, e.g. Balmford & Gaston (1999); Royle et al. (2007). The references in the Reference list should be in alphabetical order with the journal name unabbreviated. The writing rules used are as follows:
Bibliography in the form of magazines / scientific journals / proceedings:
Sumin, L., Youguang, M.A., Chunying, Z., Shuhua, S., and Qing, H.E., 2009. The Effect of Hydrophobic Modification of Zeolites on CO2 Absorption Enhancement, Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering, 17(1), 36-41.

How to refer to the list of references is done by writing the name of the first author and the year of publication in brackets, for example (Ohara et al. 1996)
References should be cited as 'in press' only if the paper has been accepted for publication. Work not yet submitted for publication or under review should be cited as 'unpublished data', with the author's initials and surname given; such work should not be included in the Reference section.
REVIEWS ARTICLE. Reviews should at least 10000 words inclusive of all parts of the paper. The layout should follow the same format and specifications as for Standard Papers except that the organisation of the main text need not follow the division into Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and Discussion.

COMMENTARY AND OPINIONS Commentary and Opinion articles are short contributions of up to 4000 words, including all text, references, tables, and figures. These articles provide expert perspectives, interpretations, or insights on current research, scientific developments, or policy issues within the field. Authors should present a clear argument supported by evidence from the literature. The structure follows that of Standard Papers, except that the Summary should be concise (maximum 150 words). The main text layout may be adapted to suit the narrative, and figures or tables may be included if necessary.
