On the submission page, enter data and answer questions as prompted. Click on the “Next” button on each screen to save your work and advance to the next screen. The names and contact details of at least four internationally recognized experts who can review your manuscript should be entered in the "Comments for the Editor" box.

You will be prompted to upload your files: Click on the “Browse” button and locate the file on your computer. Select the description of the file in the drop-down next to the Browse button. When you have selected all files you wish to upload, click the “Upload” button. Review your submission before sending to the Editors. Click the “Submit” button when you are done reviewing. Authors are responsible for verifying all files have been uploaded correctly.

You may stop a submission at any phase and save it to submit later. Acknowledgment of receipt of the manuscript by the Bulletin of Biomathematics Online Submission System will be sent to the corresponding author, including an assigned manuscript number that should be included in all subsequent correspondence. You can also log-on to the submission web page of Bulletin of Biomathematics any time to check the status of your manuscript. You will receive an e-mail once a decision has been made on your manuscript.

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.

Preparation of Manuscripts

Manuscripts can be prepared using LaTeX (.tex) format. The preferred first submission format (for reviewing purposes only) is Portable Document File (.pdf). After acceptance, the papers should be converted to the LaTeX (.tex) template which can be found in the following link:

CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) Authors Statements

The Bulletin of Biomathematics adopts the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) to provide transparency and proper recognition of each author’s specific contributions to the published work. Authors are encouraged to clearly indicate their roles using the standardized CRediT categories, such as Conceptualization, Methodology, Data Curation, Writing – Original Draft, Supervision, and others.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed author contributions are accurate, complete, and agreed upon by all co-authors. Authors may be credited with multiple roles, and use of CRediT does not alter the journal’s established authorship criteria.

CRediT contribution statements must be submitted during the manuscript submission process and will appear in the published article above the Acknowledgments section, as illustrated in the journal’s formatting guidelines.

Possible CRediT Statements:

Conceptualization, Methodology, Software, Validation, Formal Analysis, Investigation, Resources, Data Curation, Writing - Original Draft, Writing - Review & Editing, Visualization, Supervision, Project Administration, Funding Acquisition.

Sample CRediT Author Statement:

First Author: Conceptualization, Methodology, Software. Second Author: Data curation, Writing-Original draft preparation. Third Author: Visualization, Investigation. Fifth Author: Supervision. Sixth Author: Software, Validation, Writing-Reviewing and Editing. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.

English Editing

Manuscripts must be written in English, and either British or American spelling is acceptable, provided usage is consistent throughout the manuscript. While the journal does not require submissions to be written in “perfect” English, the language must be clear and unambiguous. The meaning of the text should be easily understood by reviewers and readers without confusion caused by language issues.

Manuscripts that, in the opinion of the Editor, contain unclear or incomprehensible English will be returned to the authors with a request for language revision before further consideration. Authors are encouraged to seek professional editing assistance if necessary to ensure clarity and readability.

Initial Submission Guidelines

Manuscript Style

For the first submission, authors should upload a single PDF file of the complete manuscript. The manuscript should be prepared using a standard font, preferably Times New Roman, 12-point, with single line spacing throughout.

Manuscripts should normally not exceed 30 single-spaced pages, including all text, figures, tables, and references. All illustrations, figures, and tables must be placed within the text at appropriate locations, rather than at the end of the manuscript.

During the submission process, you must enter:

• Full title of the manuscript,

• Names and affiliations of all authors,

• Complete contact details for all authors, including email addresses and ORCID IDs,

• Funding information, including the name(s) of any sponsor(s) and relevant grant number(s), if applicable,

• An abstract of no more than 250 words summarizing the main findings and contributions of the article,

• 3 to 5 keywords that best describe the subject matter and focus of the manuscript,

• Authors should provide three to five relevant Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC 2020) codes to categorize the mathematical content of their manuscript. These should be listed after the keywords section. The full list of MSC 2020 codes can be accessed at: https://mathscinet.ams.org/msnhtml/msc2020.pdf.

Abstract Guidelines

An abstract is a concise summary of the entire paper—not just the conclusions—and should be written in a way that is understandable to a multidisciplinary scientific audience. The abstract should not exceed 250 words and should effectively convey the significance and scope of the work without referencing the rest of the manuscript. A well-prepared abstract should include the following elements:

• A brief introduction that outlines the purpose and necessity of the study, accessible to scientists from any field.

• Relevant background information to contextualize the problem.

• A concise summary of the main results.

• The implications or significance of the findings.

• A broader perspective that highlights the relevance of the results beyond the immediate scope of the work.

Citations to other published works should not be included in the abstract. Authors should ensure that the abstract clearly communicates the importance and novelty of the research in a self-contained manner.

Reference and Citation Guidelines

References in the text should be cited using numbers in square brackets, e.g., [1], [2], in the order of their first appearance. Each reference is assigned a unique number, which should be reused consistently throughout the manuscript whenever that reference is cited again.

The reference list at the end of the manuscript must be ordered numerically, matching the order of citation in the text. All references should be complete, accurate, and presented in a consistent format.

Please ensure the following:

i. Every reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and vice versa

ii. Do not abbreviate journal titles—use the full journal names

iii. For online resources, include the full URL and the date of access

References should be listed in the following style:

Illustrations

All illustrations—including line drawings, photographs, halftones, and photomicrographs—should be provided as clean originals or high-quality digital files. Digital submissions are strongly recommended to ensure optimal reproduction in the published article.

Please follow these guidelines when preparing illustrations:

Minimum resolution of 300 dpi
Sized appropriately to fit within the journal page dimensions
Saved in EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format only
Illustrations should be embedded within the main text at appropriate locations
Additionally, all figures should be submitted as separate files if requested during the submission process

Tables

Tables should be embedded within the text at appropriate points, rather than placed at the end of the manuscript. Each table must include a concise, descriptive title positioned above the table.

A clear legend or explanatory notes should be provided below the table, along with any footnotes, which must be properly identified using superscript symbols or letters. All tables should be clearly formatted, easy to read, and referenced in the main text.

Revised Manuscript Submission

Revised manuscripts must be submitted through the Bulletin of Biomathematics online submission system to ensure proper linkage with the original submission. Along with the revised manuscript, authors are required to provide a point-by-point response addressing all comments and questions raised by the reviewers and the editors. This response should clearly indicate the specific revisions made in the manuscript in response to each reviewer’s and editor's remarks. Providing a thorough and detailed revision explanation facilitates an efficient re-evaluation process.

To upload your revised manuscript, please go to your author page and click on the related manuscript title. Navigate to the "Review" link on the top left and scroll down the page. Click on the "Choose File" button under the "Editor Decision" title, choose the revised article (in pdf format) that you want to submit, and click on the "Upload" button to upload the author version. Make sure that the file uploaded starts with your responses to the comments of the reviewer(s). IMPORTANT: Eventually, one single PDF document including (i) your responses to the comments of the reviewer(s) and (ii) the revised manuscript on which the changes made are highlighted must be uploaded to the system. Any nonconformity may result in the rejection of your paper.

To ensure timely online publication and facilitate the production process, authors are required to upload the complete source files (e.g., LaTeX files) along with their revised manuscripts. If needed, source files can be compressed into a single archive (e.g., ZIP) before uploading. Providing the source files helps avoid delays in making the article freely available online.

Page Proofs

Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author via the official Bulletin of Biomathematics email address. Authors are responsible for carefully reviewing the proofs and returning any corrections within 48 hours of receipt to avoid publication delays.

Author Roles and Responsibilities


When determining authorship credit, all individuals who have made a significant intellectual contribution to the work should be listed as co-authors. Contributors who have provided support in a lesser capacity should be acknowledged separately but not included as authors. An author is someone who has substantially contributed to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research. This includes, but is not limited to, contributions such as:

Development of background theory,
Design of experiments,
Creation of device prototypes,
Data analysis and interpretation,
Writing the article or reviewing and/or revising the text and/or figures.

Authors are expected to reach a mutual agreement regarding authorship and the order of author names prior to submission. In cases where an agreement cannot be reached, it is the responsibility of the institution(s) where the research was conducted to investigate and resolve the dispute. The Bulletin of Biomathematics will not arbitrate authorship disagreements. In the event of an unresolved conflict, the journal reserves the right to withdraw the manuscript from the review process until a resolution has been reached and confirmed by all parties involved.

Responsibility of the Corresponding Author

The corresponding author plays a key role in the submission and publication process and is responsible for the following:

i. Ensuring that all listed authors have reviewed and approved the submitted version of the manuscript, as well as all subsequent revisions,
ii. Confirming that all authors agree to the manuscript’s submission and are prepared to take appropriate responsibility for the content,
iii. Verifying that all authors have approved the final version of the article accepted for publication,
iv. Ensuring that the manuscript is not under consideration by any other journal at the time of submission,
v. Providing accurate and complete contact details for all co-authors at the time of submission.


Changes in Authorship

Any changes to authorship—whether involving the addition, removal, or reordering of authors—during the publication process must be approved by all authors listed on the manuscript. All authors must confirm in writing that they consent to the change and that each listed author has made a genuine intellectual contribution to the work. To request a change, all authors must complete and sign the Bulletin of Biomathematics Author Changes Form, which must be submitted to the editorial office. The corresponding author must also provide a clear explanation of the reason for the change, in accordance with the journal’s authorship guidelines.

The Bulletin of Biomathematics reserves the right to decline authorship change requests if there is insufficient justification or reason to question the contribution of any newly added author.

Deceased Authors

If an author has passed away prior to the submission of a manuscript, the journal requires written consent from a legal representative or familial proxy of the deceased author to proceed with the peer review and potential publication of the work. Deceased individuals may still be listed as co-authors, provided they made a significant intellectual contribution to the research, in accordance with the journal’s authorship criteria. Their contribution should be acknowledged respectfully, and a note may be added to indicate their passing.
