GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
Public trust in the scientific process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how transparently conflicts of interest are handled during the planning, implementation, writing, peer review, editing, and publication of scientific work.
- Each author or group of authors must fill out the attached document from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors stating the ethical aspects of their research and that they did not have to pay any fee for the editing and publication of their article in Bionatura. To download the ICMJE form, please click here or in Word Document

- Figures should be sent as separate high-resolution JPG files. Figures inserted in the text are not of sufficient quality for publication.
- Tables should be sent in the same file as the article or in separate Word files, but they must be editable, not images.
