| == Manuscript format ==
| |
| ::::* Manuscripts in English - perhaps you want to check out the free [https://www.grammarly.com/?utm_source=gdn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_phase=professional&utm_campaign=F2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwLLk1LeB6QIVg5l3Ch2W4ALXEAEYASAAEgIDePD_BwE Grammarly]

| |
|
| |
| ::::* Publications in '''Bioenergetics Communications''' include a title, authors and affiliations, author contributions, an introduction (presenting the purpose of the publication), materials and methods, results, a discussion or conclusions, references, and acknowledgements. However, it is not necessary to follow a fixed format, ''e.g.'', the authors may choose to place the materials and methods section before the results or at the end before the references, and the discussion section can be separated from the results, or both sections can be merged. Thus authors can focus on the quality of their work instead of following the stereotype of a journal format.
| |
| ::::* The [https://wiki.oroboros.at/images/8/8c/BEC_submission_template.docx BEC submission template] can be used, but is not mandatory.
| |
|
| |
| ::::* The publications are accompanied by a folder with the original data (''e.g.'' DLD files with the raw data).
| |
|
| |
| ::::* Manuscripts must adhere to SI units and IUPAC recommendations. MitoEAGLE recommendations on terms and symbols are to be implemented.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Submission ==
| |
| ::::* The authors are encouraged to release the manuscript as a preprint in the MitoFit Preprints at the time of BEC submission, if it is not already a preprint.
| |
| ::::* Authors submit the manuscript to BEC [[BEC_reviewers#Open_Peer_Review|Open Peer Review]]. Besides the manuscript, authors will provide a declaration of (1) responsibility for the content, (2) consent of all co-authors, (3) having performed the experimental work in accordance with the ethical standards for research particularly when using humans or animals, and (4) appropriate declarations of conflicts of interest. The authors will also suggest one or two Associate Editors and three reviewers, avoiding any conflict of interest.

| === From preprint to publication ===
| |
| ::::* The preprint is part of a stepwise process:
| |
| ::::# '''MitoFit Preprints''' is the fast lane of Open Access communication without peer review. Authors should indicate if the submission to '''Bioenergetics Communications''' shall be published as a preprint in the '''MitoFit Preprints'''.
| |
| ::::# The manuscript is immediately delegated to our [[Bioenergetics_Communications#Editors |Associate Editors or Section Editors]] and checked for suitability for publishing in both '''Bioenergetics Communications''' and '''MitoFit Preprints''' if applicable.
| |
| ::::# Communication with the authors to plan the non-anonymous '''Open Peer Review''' process. Up to three reviewers should be suggested by the authors.

| == Open Peer Review ==
| |
|
| |
| :::: '''From MitoFit Preprint to Open Peer Review''' is standard for BEC. We accept an opt out option from an author when presented with a reasonable explanation. Further clarification may be requested. The editorial board may choose not to accept the explanation and potentially reject the manuscript (not the preprint).
| |
|
| |
| ::::* One or two [[Bioenergetics_Communications#Editors |Associate Editors]] and three reviewers should be suggested by the authors, avoiding any conflict of interest.
