About us
The submitted papers (https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/BiochimClin) are sent for anonymous peer review (single blind review) to specialized reviewers chosen by the Associated Editors or by the Editor in Chief. Upon acceptance, the article is published online (with doi) on the journal website, as soon as the approved draft is returned to the secretariat by the Author. The article is then inserted in an issue according to the acceptance date (within the same type of contribution).
Throughout the editorial process, BC complies with the recommendations of the “International Committee of Medical Journal Editors” (www.icmje.org) and with the ethical standards of the "Committee on Publication Ethics" (COPE, http://publicationethics.org) which are available on the "Ethical conduct".
The submission of articles, the editorial process and any publication are free of charge; upon acceptance of the contribution, the copyright is transferred to SIBioC which acquires the right to reproduce and disseminate the article, if of interest. Any reproduction, even of parts of the article itself, requires prior authorization from the copyright holder (in the person of the President of the Company).
BC is published with the financial support of SIBioC which stipulates a contract with the Biomedia Publishing House ( www.biomedia.net) for the definition of publication specifications and costs. The Commercial Company acquires the publishing rights of Biochimica Clinica and the Editorial Director, pertaining to the Commercial Company (Responsible Publisher), assumes responsibility for the periodical in relation to the Italian law. The publishing house's ethical standards are also based on the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, http://publicationethics.org) (see Statement on ethics).
The Editor-in-chief, the Associate Editors and the International Advisory Committee do not receive any fee; all editorial activity (including review activity, which also makes use of external reviewers) is carried out on a voluntary basis.
