Author Guidelines
Journal of Genomics & Data Mining Research & Reviews caters to a wide range of readers from across the sections of the academia and the industry alike We particularly welcome high-quality original research that advances knowledge on that focuses on the broader as well as specific aspects of the Genomic Research. Apart from the rigorously oriented research papers, we also welcome contributions, including short reports, commentaries, editorials, and case reports to make the journal more accessible.
Plagiarism: The journal prioritizes original research. Thus, it expects the authors to make sure that they don’t violate copyrights act by reproducing the content from the others. Research is impossible without references. References made from such sources must be duly acknowledged.
Article-processing charges: Journal of Genomics & Data Mining Research & Reviews is an Open Access publisher and the standard charge for publishing is $999 payable on acceptance of each paper.
Article Types
Journal of Genomics & Data Mining Research & Reviews accepts Full-length Research articles, reviews articles, Mini Review, Case Reports, Editorial, and Letter to the Editor, Commentary, Rapid Communications and Perspectives, Case in Images, Clinical Images, and Conference Proceedings.
Research Articles:
Research Articles are written based on the laboratories observations or research in the clinical settings following the standard research methods and techniques such empirical surveys, and collecting data from the representative sample size. Research article critically analyzes the data/observations of such research to make conclusions. Research articles must not exceed the word limit of 8000 and must follow the prescribed format ready for publication. The chosen classification will appear in the published manuscript above the manuscript title.
Review Articles: Review articles are also scientific observations, yet they can be written based on the existing research data published in various forms. For example, an author may review the Gene sequencing techniques followed in the developing world by analyzing a series of published documents and draws conclusion. Review articles should be within the 6000-word limit. Review articles must follow the same format as research article. The article format is discussed below under the category ‘Manuscript Formatting guidelines.
Case Studies: Case studies are developed based on the exclusive study of a specific case or situation. A case study on the computational drug design for an epidemic disease like COVID-19 can be a case study, as it discusses the various stages involved, and its application on animals and human before it gets approval. Case studies can be from 3000-5000 words.
Short Communication: Short communication is a small discussion of any given topic within 800 words and it generally would not follow any specific research technique. It rather observes any scientific concept that is published in the current or previous issue and expresses the writer’s views on it.
Editorials: Editorials are expert’s opinions, which generally would not exceed 800 words. The expert, being an authority in the subject writes on the recent trends, developments, challenges etc. and observes/warns the readers on a specific issue. For example, a specialist in Genetics may write on the ethical implications of the Gene Editing on humanity ass an editorial.
Letters to the Editors: Letters to the editors are the reader’s perspectives, opinions and observations to the editor seeking clarity, questioning the validity, and making observations on the gaps in the research published on the current or previous issue. Letters must not exceed 400 to 500 words.
Perspectives: Perspectives are expert’s opinions on policies, principles, decisions of the government, its consequences on the people or society. Systematics and valid observations both by the experts and amateurs alike can be considered. For example, government’s decision to ban or approve gene editing. can be submitted as perspective, without exceeding 1000 words. Perspective generally don’t follow any format like research article, and it is a description of the writer’s observation.
Proceedings: Proceedings are collection of abstracts accepted for presentation in the conference. Bibliographic representation of such proceedings adds value to the participant’s profile and academic indexing.
Manuscript Formatting Guidelines Manuscript Title: The title should be limited to 25 words or less and should not contain abbreviations. The title should reflect the basic theme of the research.
Author Information: Complete names and affiliation of all authors, including contact details of corresponding author (Telephone, Fax and E-mail address) should be mentioned beneath the title.
Abstract: The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, stating the scope of the experiment/s, indicating the significance of the study and the major findings. The abstract should summarize the manuscript content in 500 words or less. Standard nomenclature should be used, and abbreviations should be avoided. The preferable format should accommodate a description of the study background, methods, results and conclusion. At least 5 to 6 keywords should be mentioned beneath the abstract.
Text Introduction: The introduction should set the tone of the paper by providing a clear statement of the study and the proposed approach or solution. The introduction should be general enough to attract a reader’s attention by making it simpler, while detailing the significance of the study with suitable references.
Review of Literature: All the research, review and case reports must contain the sufficient review of the existing literature on the study and should draw the reader’s attention on how this study would contribute to the existing field of knowledge.
Materials and Methods: This section should provide a complete overview of the design of the study. Detailed descriptions of the research techniques observed, the sample size, and the way the experiment is conducted should be detailed presenting the data in the form of tables, figures, images etc., to make it more meaningful to the readers.
Discussion: The data presented using formulae, equations etc., should be analyzed thoroughly applying the statistical methods to discuss the major observations from the study. This is an important aspect that should extract the entire outcome of the study.
Findings: This section draws important findings of the study making comparisons, applying probabilities and by testing the e hypothesis by proving or rejecting the research statement made in the beginning of the study.
Conclusions, Limitations & Recommendations: Authors summarize the entire study by stating the limitations if any, such as methods applied, or the sample size or methods employed to conduct this study. Author/s make specific recommendations to advance research in this area in future.
