At the Mogito Open Access Journal of Molecular Biology (MJMB), our editorial policy reflects our unwavering commitment to scientific excellence, editorial integrity, and global accessibility in the molecular life sciences. As a peer-reviewed, open access journal, MJMB provides a trusted platform for the publication of high-quality research that advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms underpinning biological systems.
Scope of Editorial Oversight
MJMB welcomes original research articles, reviews, short communications, data notes, and methodological papers in all areas of molecular biology, including but not limited to:
Molecular genetics and genomics
Epigenetics and gene regulation
RNA biology and transcriptomics
Structural and functional proteomics
Signal transduction and cell communication
Molecular pathogenesis and disease models
Genome editing and synthetic biology
Molecular pharmacology and biotechnology
Systems biology and computational modeling
We encourage submissions that explore interdisciplinary approaches, translational implications, and novel experimental techniques.
Editorial Independence & Peer Review Process
MJMB operates under the principles of editorial independence, ensuring that all editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit, methodological soundness, and relevance to the field without influence from external entities, including the publisher or sponsors.
All submitted manuscripts undergo:
Initial editorial assessment for scope alignment and ethical compliance
Double-blind peer review by at least two independent experts
Final editorial evaluation by the Associate Editor and/or Editor-in-Chief
We strive to ensure timely, fair, and constructive feedback while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and reviewer accountability.
Authorship & Contribution Transparency
MJMB follows the ICMJE guidelines for authorship and contributors. Each listed author must meet the criteria for significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. We require a contribution statement at the time of submission and encourage the use of the CRediT taxonomy for author roles.
Ethical Standards & Scientific Integrity
All manuscripts must comply with ethical standards in research involving:
Human participants (with institutional ethics approval and informed consent)
Animal models (adherence to international animal welfare guidelines)
Genetic data and biosecurity-sensitive materials
We follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and WAME, and we require authors to disclose conflicts of interest, funding sources, and data availability.
Open Access & Copyright
MJMB is published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), ensuring all content is freely accessible, reusable, and shareable with proper attribution. Authors retain copyright of their work.
Our open access model supports scientific equity and the global dissemination of knowledge without barriers to readers or authors.
Corrections, Retractions & Editorial Transparency
MJMB is committed to editorial transparency and scientific accountability. In cases of error, ethical misconduct, or post-publication concerns, we follow COPE procedures for:
Corrections and updates
Expressions of concern
Retractions when necessary
We maintain a clear record of editorial decisions and welcome post-publication discussion when appropriate.
Editorial Board Responsibilities
Our Editorial Board is composed of leading experts in molecular biology and related fields. Their responsibilities include:
Upholding ethical and scientific standards
Assisting in peer review and manuscript decision-making
Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the journal
Curating special issues and thematic collections
Advising on strategic editorial development
Commitment to Diversity & Global Inclusion
MJMB values the richness of global perspectives in science. We actively encourage submissions and editorial participation from underrepresented regions, minority groups, early-career researchers, and non-native English speakers. We are committed to publishing in multiple languages in the future to increase global accessibility.
