Paper Prints Policy
The Journal of Bioscience Studies (JBS) is a fully open-access journal published and distributed exclusively online. JBS does not currently produce, distribute, or routinely provide printed issues or physical copies of its published articles. All articles are published electronically through the official JBS website and are intended to be accessed, read, downloaded, cited, and shared digitally.
ISSN and Publishing Format JBS has both an Online ISSN and a Print ISSN assigned through the ISSN system. The journal's current publishing and distribution model is exclusively electronic, and no regular printed edition is currently produced or distributed.
• Online ISSN: 3080-9568
• Print ISSN: 3080-955X
The existence of a Print ISSN does not mean that JBS currently distributes physical journal issues. The journal transparently distinguishes its registered ISSN information from its current publishing and distribution format.
Digital Publishing Model JBS follows an online-only digital publishing model. Articles that have completed editorial assessment, peer review, revision, acceptance, production, and publication are published online as the official Version of Record. The electronic Version of Record constitutes the definitive published version and is the version that should be used for citation, scholarly reference, indexing, and linking.
Current Print Availability Although JBS has an assigned Print ISSN (3080-955X), the journal does not currently maintain or distribute a regular printed edition. JBS does not routinely issue physical copies of individual articles or journal issues. Authors, readers, libraries, institutions, and other stakeholders should access the official electronic versions through the JBS website and authorized scholarly services.
Online Access and Availability Published articles are made available electronically through the official JBS journal platform. Articles are accessible online in accordance with the journal's open-access licensing terms. JBS is committed to maintaining stable online access to the published scholarly record and to supporting the long-term discoverability and accessibility of its content.
Open-Access Dissemination JBS provides immediate online access to its published research in accordance with its Open Access and Licensing Policy. The online-only publishing model supports broad and rapid dissemination of scholarly research without dependence on physical distribution, print circulation, or subscription-based access to printed issues.
Digital Preservation Because JBS is published exclusively online, preservation of the scholarly record is supported through appropriate digital preservation, repository, and archival mechanisms used by the journal and its publishing infrastructure. JBS seeks to maintain the accessibility, authenticity, and discoverability of published content as digital publishing technologies and platforms evolve.
Digital Article Identification Published articles are assigned persistent bibliographic identifiers and structured metadata where applicable, including DOIs. The electronic Version of Record is the authoritative source for bibliographic citation, indexing, linking, and scholarly dissemination. Any locally printed or independently reproduced copy does not constitute a separate official version of the article.
Citation, Indexing, and Discoverability JBS is designed for digital scholarly discoverability. Published articles and their bibliographic metadata may be submitted to or made available through relevant scholarly indexing, abstracting, repository, DOI, and discovery services in accordance with the requirements of those services. Inclusion or indexing in any external database is subject to the independent evaluation, policies, and approval procedures of the respective service.
Digital Accessibility The online-only model enables readers to access JBS content without reliance on physical journal distribution. Published articles are made available through the official journal platform for digital reading, downloading, citation, and scholarly sharing in accordance with the applicable open-access license.
Environmental Responsibility JBS's online-only publishing model avoids routine paper printing, physical journal production, packaging, and postal distribution. This digital publishing approach reduces the material and logistical requirements associated with conventional print publishing and supports more resource-efficient scholarly communication.
Printed Copies and Print Requests JBS does not routinely provide complimentary printed copies of published articles or printed journal issues. Authors and readers should use the official electronic Version of Record for access, citation, sharing, and academic use. Any printed copy produced independently by an author, reader, library, or other party is not an official print edition of JBS.
