You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.

Open access :

Biological Insights is an open access journal managed by Biological Innovations Research & Developmental Society. To provide open access, this journal has an open access fee (also known as an article publishing charge APC) of 1200INR for Indian nationals or 50 USD for foreign nationals which needs to be paid by the authors or on their behalf e.g. by their research institution.

Reviewers :

A minimum of three suitable potential reviewers (please provide their name, institutional email addresses, and institutional affiliation) should be provided. When compiling this list of potential reviewers please consider the following important criteria: they must be knowledgeable about the manuscript subject area; must not be from your own institution; and they should not have recent (less than four years) joint publications with any of the authors.

References

Citation:

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
3. This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al., 2015; Barakat et al.1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).

Artwork

• Figures should be submitted separately from the text.
• Figures should be submitted in TIFF format.
• All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

• Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file.
• Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type.
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Preferred fonts: Arial (or Helvetica), Times New Roman (or Times), Symbol, Courier.
