Where do I submit a Bioscience Reports manuscript?

Through the journal's own submission system. The address is in the Submission row of the Structure at a Glance table on this page. SciSpace does not submit for you.

How do I use the Bioscience Reports template in SciSpace?

Click Start Writing, add your topic and article type to the prompt, review the draft against the rules on this page, then export and submit through the journal's portal.

Can I submit to Bioscience Reports and another journal at the same time?

No. Journals, Bioscience Reports included, expect a manuscript to be under review at one journal at a time. Wait for the decision or withdraw formally before you submit elsewhere.

What should my data availability statement say for Bioscience Reports?

Say where readers can find the data behind your results: a repository with a DOI, supplementary files, or the reason the data cannot be shared. Check the Bioscience Reports author guide for any required wording.

How do I know my paper fits Bioscience Reports?

Read the Bioscience Reports aims and scope and skim two or three recent articles. If your question, methods, and audience match what the journal publishes, you are in the right place.

What belongs in supplementary material?

Large datasets, extended tables, extra figures, code, and detailed protocols. Reference each file in the main text, and keep the core Bioscience Reports manuscript readable without them.

Can I change the author list after submitting?

Usually only with the editor's approval and written agreement from every author. Settle who qualifies as an author, and the order, before you submit.

Do I need a graphical abstract?

Only if the Bioscience Reports author guide asks for one for your article type. If it does, use one readable figure that states the main finding.

How to Use the Bioscience Reports Template | A Step-by-Step Guide

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 28 September, 2026

Use this Bioscience Reports template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it. Check the current rules on the Bioscience Reports journal page.

What is the Bioscience Reports Template?

It is the writing shell for Bioscience Reports: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list. The limits that decide a desk reject are on the journal page linked above.

What's actually in a Bioscience Reports submission:

A Bioscience Reports submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract of up to 250 words, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

An abstract that breaks the rule (an abstract of up to 250 words).
References that do not follow the stated style: Vancouver reference style.
A missing declaration: ethics approval, competing interests, funding, or data availability.

Read the full rules on the journal page linked above before you upload.

Write the abstract last and count it. Bioscience Reports asks for an abstract of up to 250 words.
Keep declarations with the manuscript, not in a separate note you might forget to upload.

Best Practices

Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent Bioscience Reports paper for depth, headings, and figure style.

Before You Submit: Final Check

The abstract meets the rule (an abstract of up to 250 words).
The reference style matches the author guide, and every citation has a matching entry.
Declarations are included: ethics, competing interests, funding, and data availability.

Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
