Publication
Publisher‑ready publication workflow: clear scope, a formal peer‑review statement, ethics & AI policy, named responsible roles, and predictable timelines.
A dedicated international track
Full papers in English with independent peer review and editorial selection. Publisher confirmation pending.
Proceedings (English)
Full papers (English), peer review (≥ 2 reviewers), editorial selection. Under consideration.
Conference Abstract Book (RSCI)
Abstracts and posters for the on‑site conference. Editorial screening for scope and format.
Journal track (Russian)
Selected authors may be invited to submit an extended manuscript (Russian) to the Russian Biotechnology Journal (RJBT). Journal peer review applies.
Key dates
Two tracks: conference participation/abstracts and English proceedings (under consideration).
Track B dates may be adjusted after publisher confirmation.
Submission workflow
We plan to manage submissions and peer review using Janeway (editorial management system). Online forms are used for initial intake and routing. Each submission receives an internal tracking ID.
If the forms do not open, use the backup email: biotech-congress@yandex.ru
- Proceedings track: English full papers (recommended ≥ 6 pages).
- Abstract book track: abstracts/posters (short format).
- Journal track: separate journal submission and journal peer review.
Peer review & editorial decision
A formal statement is available as a separate page. This is what editors and publishers need to see quickly.
Proceedings track (English)
- Screening: scope + completeness + similarity check.
- Peer review: at least 2 independent reviewers per paper.
- Decisions: accept / minor revision / major revision / reject.
- Revision handling: point‑by‑point responses; additional review rounds if needed.

Evaluation criteria
