Bioenergetics Communications is the Open Science journal on bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology with Living Communications

- ISSN 2791-4690

BEC formats

Living Communications

From pre-print to re-print » Living Communications

Manuscript formats

Regular communications (over 3 000 words)
Short communications (under 3 000 words)

Several types of communications and short communications are accepted:

Manuscript types

Experimental Communications
1. Original research articles, including 'negative' results (irrespective of supporting a working hypothesis) or 'confirmatory results' (demonstrating reproducibility and add to the statistical significance of published results)
2. Confirmative or contradictory results, related to previous publications (reproducibility)
Technical Communications
1. Development or extension of techniques
2. Quality control: instrumental and methodological details, experimental protocols
Theoretical Communications
1. Theoretical work with novel concepts
2. Commentaries
3. Perspectives
Reviews
1. Standard reviews (or minireviews, short overviews of recent progress in a specific area of bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology)
2. Focal reviews with meta-analyses
3. Monographs

Possibilities

It is possible to publish data without statistical relevance per se, from which alone it is not possible to draw firm conclusions. Several small data sets made available from many laboratories in a methodologically consistent and reproducible way result in large data sets that are statistically even more relevant.

-=== Communications ===
-::::* '''Technical communications''' - contain instrumental and methodological details on HRR particularly focused on quality control
-::::* '''Innovations''' - introduce tests of new instrumental developments or novel applications
-::::* '''SUIT protocols''' - present the concept of a specific SUIT protocol, exceeding the MitoPedia description and containing more detail than typical methods sections in other publications
-::::* '''Confirmatory results''' - demonstrate reproducibility (confirmation is the only way to do this) and add to the statistical significance of published results
-::::* '''Negative results''' - discuss findings on methodological difficulties that failed to lead to a relevant innovation
-::::* '''Regular papers''' - extended by the concept of '''living communications'''
-::::* '''Minireviews''' - short overviews of recent progress in a specific area of bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology
-::::* '''Monographs''' - reviews and textbooks
-::::* '''Topic series''' - communications collected according to specific research topics
