Crossmark Policy

Plagiarism Policy
The Editorial Team of BiotechIntellect takes the necessary measures to examine the submitted manuscripts on their originality. The similarity of the submitted manuscript is measured before the peer-review process and once again before publication by common plagiarism checker software. As plagiarism is unacceptable, so, the editorial board of the journal establishes the following policies that state-specific actions (penalties) if plagiarism is identified in a manuscript submitted for publication.
Authors should ensure that they submit only entirely original works. "Plagiarism in any forms, including quotations or paraphrasing of substantial parts of another’s article (without attribution), “passing off” another’s article as the author’s own or claiming results from research conducted by others, constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable".
The authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript:
- describes completely the original work;
- is not plagiarism;
- has not been published before in any language;
- the information used or words from other publications are appropriately indicated by reference or indicated in the text.
Existing copyright laws and conventions must be observed. The BiotechIntellect takes responsibility to assist a scientific community in all aspects of publication ethics policy, particularly in case of multiple submission/publication and plagiarism. The editors reserve the right to check the received manuscripts for plagiarism. The textual similarity in the amount of more than 20% is unacceptable.
Preprint Policy

A preprint is a paper that is made available publicly via a community preprint server prior to submission to a journal. Preprint help the safety of a manuscript during the peer–review process, increase the speed of dissemination of knowledge, and citation of the article after publication. BiotechIntellect allows for the submission of manuscripts that have already been made available on such a server. Allowing submission does not, of course, guarantee that an article will be sent out for review; it simply reflects a belief that availability on a preprint server should not be a disqualifier for submission. BiotechIntellect will consider for review articles previously available as preprints. Authors are requested to point to DOI of a preprint on the first page of the manuscript update any pre-publication versions with a link to the final published article. Authors may also post the final published version of the article immediately after publication.
