About the Journal

Notulae Scientia Biologicae is an international, quarterly, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing scholarly contributions across the life and biological sciences. The journal welcomes original Research Articles, Review Articles, and Notes that advance knowledge or improve the understanding of biological, agricultural, environmental, biomedical, and veterinary processes.

The journal encourages disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research in biology, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, biotechnology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, ecology, environmental sciences, medicine, veterinary medicine, and related fields. Manuscripts addressing regional or local subjects should demonstrate broader scientific relevance and a clear contribution to the international literature.

Founded in 2009, the journal supports the dissemination of scientifically sound research and promotes international scholarly communication among established researchers, early-career scientists, doctoral candidates, and professionals. The journal is guided by an international Editorial Team and applies transparent editorial procedures, double-blind peer review, and recognised principles of publication ethics and research integrity.

Journal at a Glance

Editorial Leadership

The Editors-in-Chief have overall responsibility for the editorial process. Each manuscript is assigned to a handling Editor-in-Chief, who makes the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection after considering the scientific evaluation, peer-review reports, ethical requirements, and the journal’s editorial criteria.

Section Editors and other assigned editors may coordinate manuscript evaluation, select reviewers, assess reports, communicate with authors and reviewers, and submit reasoned recommendations to the handling Editor-in-Chief. Reviewers provide independent expert assessments and recommendations; they do not make editorial decisions.

Full information on the journal’s editorial membership, affiliations, roles, and professional profiles is available on the Editorial Team page.
