Original Research

Original Research should provide new insights into the field based on well-conducted research through performing proper scientific experiments with supporting data presented. 

Any original works are encouraged, which should be organized in the following order: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion. The article provides complete research results in which the objectives/hypotheses have been fully addressed. Authors should not divide work into several related papers, although Short Communication with preliminary but important results will be considered. A thorough evaluation on the quality and impact of the research will be made during the peer review.

Articles should comply with but not be limited to the guidelines below:
Randomised trials: CONSORT
Observational studies: STROBE
Qualitative research: SRQR
Diagnostic/prognostic studies: STARD
Animal pre-clinical studies: ARRIVE
Study protocols: SPIRIT
Clinical practice guidelines: AGREE

Review

Review offer a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature within a field of study, identifying current gaps or problems. It is primarily addressed to the experts in a specific hot topic, conveying main perspectives through comparing and analyzing massive literature written by renowned specialists. It should be critical and constructive and provide recommendations for future research. No new, unpublished data should be presented. 

Reviews own a wider scope of readers and are highly cited, for instance, it may be referred to when the researchers look for a complete introduction to a field. The structure can include Introduction, Relevant Sections, Discussion, Conclusions, and Future Directions.

Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials are systematic research studies conducted on human participants to evaluate the safety, efficacy, or optimal use of medical interventions (e.g., drugs, devices, procedures). They aim to generate reliable data for evidence-based medicine, often following rigorous protocols (e.g., randomized controlled trials).

Editorial

Editorial is an article with views, opinions, introductions, standpoints, etc., written by editors or invited authors, which may cover the topic of concern in a special issue or thematic section. It may also comment on one or more articles in the same issue of this journal or on an area of current interest in Bioscience. Articles should be concise and to the point, with no more than 3 authors and a maximum length of 1000 words, 15 references, 1 table or figure. A continuous text or integration of subsections is accepted as the composition of the Editorial, while abstract is not included.

Commentary

Commentary is a concise, opinionated article that provides expert perspective on a recent study, emerging trend, or controversial issue in a field. Unlike reviews or clinical trials, it does not present new data or a comprehensive literature analysis but instead offers critical insights, interpretations, or debates on existing work.

Brief Report

Brief Report is a concise research article that presents focused, preliminary, or highly significant findings in a compact format. Unlike full-length original articles, it emphasizes brevity while maintaining scientific rigor, often reporting novel observations, methodological advances, or urgent results that warrant rapid communication.
