Submission Information

Are you ready to submit your manuscript? Please review the submission guidelines and then refer to this checklist to ensure that you have gathered all the relevant information and that the manuscript is properly formatted.

All manuscripts must be submitted using the online submission system at https://www.scholarscentral.org/submission/genetics-molecular-research.html

If you are sure your work satisfies the basic requirements for publication in GMR, we will be happy to consider your paper. You can also mail the Editorial office at: genemolres@molecularbiologyjournals.com

Articles are reviewed anonymously by independent peer reviewers. Authors are encouraged to suggest names of expert reviewers, but selection remains the prerogative of the editors. To facilitate the review process, the authors can send supplementary material, such as accepted but not yet published papers that have been cited, which may be important during assessment of the manuscript.

The Journal adopts double peer review process to ensure quality and uses Editorial tracking system for manuscript submission, review and tracking its status. Review process is performed by the editorial board members of Genetics & Molecular Research or outside experts. Two independent reviewers approval followed by editor's approval is required for acceptance of any citable manuscript.

Article processing charge

To provide open access, GMR’s model offsets expenses—including peer review management, journal production, and online hosting and archiving—by applying an article processing charge for each article published, to be paid by the authors, institutions, or funders.

The article processing fee applied by GMR consists of a submission fee plus a publication fee.
