Open Content Licences

Depending on how one defines open access, the term may mean that a work is not only accessible free of charge but also that it may be reused extensively. To clearly indicate what rights apply when using the work, it can be made available under an open content licence, for example a Creative Commons licence.

Open content licences are standardised licences that allow copyrighted works to be used free of charge. This increases not only the usage possibilities but in practice also the visibility of the works. However, authors may grant open licences only if they have not already granted a third party – for example a publisher – exclusive rights of use in the works.

In science, Creative Commons (CC) licences are used frequently, while Digital Peer Publishing Licences (DPPL) and the GNU Initiative's Free Documentation Licence (GNU-FDL) are used less frequently. Whereas CC licences and the DPPL are internationally compatible, the GNU-FDL is tailored to the Anglo-American legal area. By making works available under an open content licence, they can be reused without having to ask the rights holder's permission. Information to this effect appears in the licence chosen, and a link to the licence text is provided when publishing the work. When reusing works licensed in this way, the author's right of attribution remains unaffected. If the licence allows the work to be adapted, the fact that the new work is an adaptation must be indicated, and reference must be made to the original work.

When choosing a suitable licence for one’s own open access publication, care should be taken to ensure that a free right of access to the work and the right to reuse it in the aforementioned ways are guaranteed

INSTRUCTION TO AUTHORS

Types of papers published are: Full-length original research papers; Short communications; Invited reviews; Letters to the Editor.

 

Article types

Original research papers are the normal medium of publication. Although there is no fixed length, articles should be as concise as possible, while providing sufficient information for the work to be repeated and for the claims of the authors to be judged by the readers.

Invited reviews will be published following invitation from Editors or by the suggestion of authors. Please send review proposals to bab@elsevier.com for consideration. Proposals should contain the following information:

  • Author name(s) and affiliation(s)

  • Abstract

  • A description of the corresponding author’s expertise in the area of the proposed review

    • A list of publication contributions by the author(s) within the last 5 years in the field of the review

    • A description of how specifically the review will be distinct from the existing literature and/or add a new dimension to the discourse in this field.

Short Communications should not exceed 1,500 words or equivalent space including figures and tables. These must be brief describing work that may be of a preliminary nature but which merits immediate publication.

Special Issues on highlighted aspects of biocatalysis and biotechnology are also published. Special Issues may contain selected contributions (invited lectures) from international conferences, or a collection of papers on a specific topic, and may be composed of review articles, research papers, and short notes.

Letters to the Editor: Comments on papers published in the journal and on other matters of interest to biotechnology researchers may be published as Letters to the Editor. These should be less than 400 words and may include one illustration or table.

Abstract

A concise and factual abstract is required. For a full-length article or review this has a maximum length of 250 words, and for a Short Communication this has a maximum length of 150 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

 

Authorship

All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following:

  1. The conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data.

  2. Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content.

  3. Final approval of the version to be submitted.

Authors should appoint a corresponding author to communicate with the journal during the editorial process. All authors should agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work to ensure that the questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Changes to authorship

The editors of this journal generally will not consider changes to authorship once a manuscript has been submitted. It is important that authors carefully consider the authorship list and order of authors and provide a definitive author list at original submission.

The policy of this journal around authorship changes:

  • All authors must be listed in the manuscript and their details entered into the submission system.

  • Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should only be made prior to acceptance, and only if approved by the journal editor.

  • Requests to change authorship should be made by the corresponding author, who must provide the reason for the request to the journal editor with written confirmation from all authors, including any authors being added or removed, that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement.

  • All requests to change authorship must be submitted using this form. Requests which do not comply with the instructions outlined in the form will not be considered.

  • Only in exceptional circumstances will the journal editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors post acceptance.

  • Publication of the manuscript may be paused while a change in authorship request is being considered.

  • Any authorship change requests approved by the journal editor will result in a corrigendum if the manuscript has already been published.

  • Any unauthorised authorship changes may result in the rejection of the article, or retraction, if the article has already been published.

 

Declaration of interests

All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence or bias their work. Examples of potential competing interests include:

  • Employment

  • Consultancies

  • Stock ownership

  • Honoraria

  • Paid expert testimony

  • Patent applications or registrations

  • Grants or any other funding

Title page

You are required to include the following details in the title page information:

  • Article title. Article titles should be concise and informative. Please avoid abbreviations and formulae, where possible, unless they are established and widely understood, e.g., DNA).

  • Author names. Provide the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author. The order of authors should match the order in the submission system. Carefully check that all names are accurately spelled. If needed, you can add your name between parentheses in your own script after the English transliteration.

  • Affiliations. Add affiliation addresses, referring to where the work was carried out, below the author names. Indicate affiliations using a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the corresponding address. Ensure that you provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the email address of each author.

  • Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence for your article at all stages of the refereeing and publication process and also post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about your results, data, methodology and materials. It is important that the email address and contact details of your corresponding author are kept up to date during the submission and publication process.

  • Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in your article was carried out, or the author was visiting during that time, a "present address" (or "permanent address") can be indicated by a footnote to the author's name. The address where the author carried out the work must be retained as their main affiliation address. Use superscript Arabic numerals for such footnotes.
