Publication Ethics Statement

Bulletin of Biological and Allied Sciences Research (Bull. Biol. All. Sci. Res.  eISSN: 2521-0092) is following the publication guidelines given by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and also endorses the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) Policy Statement on Geopolitical Intrusion on Editorial Decisions. Bulletin of Biological and Allied Sciences Research also endorses the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals. Submission of a manuscript to a Bulletin of Biological and Allied Sciences Research journal implies that all authors have read and agreed to its content and that the manuscript conforms to the journal’s policies. Bulletin of Biological and Allied Sciences Research remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. 

Ethics approval

Research involving human participants, human material, or human data, must have been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee. A statement detailing this, including the name of the ethics committee and the reference number where appropriate, must appear in all manuscripts reporting such research. If a study has been granted an exemption from requiring ethics approval, this should also be detailed in the manuscript (including the name of the ethics committee that granted the exemption). Further information and documentation to support this should be made available to the Editor on request. Manuscripts may be rejected if the Editor considers that the research has not been carried out within an appropriate ethical framework. If a study has not been granted ethics committee approval prior to commencing, retrospective ethics approval usually cannot be obtained and it may not be possible to consider the manuscript for peer review. The decision on whether to proceed to peer review in such cases is at the chief Editor's discretion.

Use of Generative AI Tools Authors may use Generative AI (GenAI) and AI-assisted technologies solely to assist with language editing, readability, or formatting. GenAI tools cannot be credited as authors or co-authors, as authorship implies accountability and responsibility for the submitted work.

Any use of GenAI tools must be explicitly disclosed in the manuscript’s cover letter and within a dedicated "AI Usage Declaration" section before the reference list, detailing the specific tool used and the nature of its application. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all content, figures, and data in their submission. Unattributed use of GenAI to generate content or analyses may be treated as misconduct, then authors have to declare it, otherwise if any AI plagiarism detected, the chief editor have right to reject manuscript at any stage.
