Instructions to Authors

1. Scientific manuscripts published on freely accessible websites will be considered for review by Biotechnology et alia. Authors should inform the Research Editor of the existence of such publications via e-mail using the correspond button (editor@et-al.com).

2. If the manuscript is accepted, Biotechnology et alia will perform several functions:

• The manuscript will be archived on the journal’s server.
• A Biotechnology et alia citation index will be assigned, which includes necessary material for future referencing: title, date, authors, institution, page numbers, citation index, date received, date accepted, and an abstract.
• Biotechnology et alia’s citation index is hyperlinked to the author’s website (optional).

3. Authors may choose to maintain a copy of their publication on their own website in HTML, PDF or Word; however, this copy should not be considered archival nor should it be cited.

4. At the author’s request, Biotechnology et alia will list certain revisions within the Addenda:

• Changes in the hyperlink to the author’s website
• Changes in the corresponding author’s e-mail address
• Scientific or textual corrections to the published paper

5. Copyright transfer forms must be completed in hard copy before papers will be listed by the journal.

6. Intrapage, interpage, and intersite hyperlinks are not allowed in the archival files at this site. Hyperlinks from the manuscript to external sites are not allowed because of the volatility of the latter. Intrapage and interpage hyperlinks are not allowed because of potential problems with relative paths on the journal’s server.

7. A current version of MS Word should be used to form manuscripts along the style of the first published paper: <www.et-al.com> 1: 1-16. Information such as date received, date accepted, and citation index, will be added by the journal.
