Dear Chief Research Officer,
We are pleased to submit the manuscript entitled “Title of your Finding/ Strategy/ Methodology” as a Finding/ Strategy/ Methodology to your esteemed Verified Resources Website. This aims to understand “Key descriptive achievements/benefits (No more than 50 words)”.
We have no known conflict of interest associated with this submission. As a corresponding author, I confirm that the manuscript has been led and approved for submission by all authors and the order is maintained without violating your Website or previous Journal terms & conditions. In case of any violations to these terms & conditions, we only all authors will be responsible for the consequences but not the BiosearchGate.
We hope you find our manuscript suitable for addition to your website and look forward to hearing from you soon.

2) Research Findings
Purpose: Present original research results with clear objectives and conclusions. These manuscripts should introduce discoveries, findings, strategies, methodologies or data in the biological sciences.
Structure: Include a concise Title Page (Submission title, author names, author affiliations according to authorship order, and corresponding author details including name, institution, phone, and email), an informative Abstract (100–150 words) summarizing the complete manuscript, and Keywords. Explain the main text into sections such as Introduction (The background and importance of your manuscript), Methods (Which methods were used for Findings), Results, Discussion (How this Finding is helpful and for which purposes), and References. Use clear headings to help readers navigate the content. Use clear headings to help readers navigate the content.
Content & Style: Write in formal, academic English. Clearly state the problem, methodology, and findings. Use past tense for methods and results. Define any technical terms. Ensure arguments are logical and supported by data. Keep paragraphs focused and concise.
Figures and Tables: Include high-quality figures, tables, or charts to illustrate results. Each must have a numbered caption and be cited in the text. Ensure images are legible and clear.
References: Cite relevant literature throughout. Provide a complete reference list at the end in a consistent style (for example, AMA or APA). Include all authors’ names, paper titles, journal/book details, and DOI if available.
Ethics: If applicable, include statements on ethical approval (e.g. institutional review board for human studies, animal care committee for animal work). Disclose any conflicts of interest and funding sources.
Length: The word limit is capped at 2,500 words, including references. Submissions should be detailed enough to present clearly and support the research findings. Authors are encouraged to use headings and bullet points where appropriate to enhance clarity and readability.
3) Research Strategies
Purpose: Describe innovative approaches, reviews, or conceptual strategies in the biological sciences. This may include systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or proposals of new methodologies.
Structure: Begin with an Introduction that frames the strategy or approach. Use subsections to organize content (for example, background/context, description of the strategy, case examples, implications). Conclude with a summary of the strategy’s advantages and potential applications.
Content & Style: Focus on clarity and coherence. Explain why the strategy is important and how it differs from or improves upon existing methods. Support all claims with evidence from current literature. The tone should remain professional and objective.
Evidence and Citations: Provide real-world examples or case studies if possible. Cite all sources of information, including data and previous studies that support your strategy. Ensure references are current and relevant.
Length: These manuscripts must be shorter than 2000 words but should be comprehensive enough to justify the strategy. Use headings and bullet points (if helpful) to improve readability.
4) Experimental Methodologies
Purpose: Detail new or improved experimental procedures, protocols, or methods so that others can reproduce the work.
Structure: Include a clear Title and Abstract summarizing the method’s purpose and advantages. Organize the text with sections like Introduction (explaining the need or application for the method), Materials and Equipment, Procedure, Expected Results, and Discussion (limitations or tips).
Clarity: Write step-by-step instructions in a logical order. Numbered steps or bullet lists are encouraged for procedures. Use precise, action-oriented language (e.g. “Add 5 mL of buffer…”). Define all reagents, equipment, and parameters.
Illustrations: Include diagrams, flowcharts, or photographs if they help clarify the procedure. Label all parts clearly. Each figure should have a caption and be referenced in the text.
Reproducibility: Provide enough detail for another researcher to replicate the method. Mention any critical steps or common pitfalls. If the method has advantages (speed, cost, sensitivity), highlight them.
References: If the methodology is based on or modified from existing protocols, cite the original sources.
Ethics and Safety: If the procedure involves hazardous materials or biological specimens, include appropriate safety precautions and ethical considerations.
Length: Submissions must not exceed 2,500 words, including references. However, the content should remain comprehensive enough to fully justify the proposed methodology. Authors are encouraged to use clear headings and bullet points to enhance structure and readability.
Note: Each submission should be proofread carefully for clarity and correctness before submitting. Cover letter is compulsory for any type of submission. Please adhere to any additional formatting instructions provided by BioSearchGate (such as file formats for submission). Please always ensure that your manuscript aligns well with the focus of the chosen category or type (Findings, Strategies, or Methodologies) and contributes value to the scientific community.
