Editorial Note for European Journal of Experimental Biology

Natalia Jones

I am pleased to mention that during the year 2019, all issues of volume 9 were published online well within the time and
the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within 30 days of publishing the issue online.
European Journal of Experimental Biology during this year also brought out 2nd International Conference on Stem Cell,
which consisted of ~2 abstracts.
The JCR Impact factor of EJEBAU for the year 2018 was 1.91, while the current SJR index dropped to 0.256. The H-index of
the journal, however, increased to 50 and EJEBAU ranked first among all journals in the field of Biological Sciences
published in India, 2nd in Asia and 48th in the world.
During the calendar year 2019, EJEBAU received a total of 62 papers, out of which 36 articles (58%) were rejected in the
preliminary screening due to plagiarism or being out of the format and peer review process. During 2019 around 20
articles were subjected for publication after they are accepted in the peer review process. In the 6 issues of Volume 9
published during the year 2019, a total of 20 articles were published (at an average of 4 articles per issue) of which,
articles were published from authors all around the world. A total of 110 research scientists from all over the world
reviewed the 20 articles published in volume 9. Average publication lag time of an article was further reduced to 2-3
weeks.
During the calendar year 2019, a total of 32 Editors, 20 Reviewers joined the board of EJEBAU and contributed their
invaluable services towards contribution as well as publication of articles.
I take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of Ling Gao during the final editing of articles published
and the support rendered by the editorial assistant, Natalia Jones in bringing out issues of EJEBAU in time. I would
also like to express my gratitude to all the authors, reviewers, the publisher, the advisory and the editorial board
of EJEBAU, the office bearers for their support in bringing out yet another volume of EJEBAU and look forward to
their unrelenting support to bring out the Volume 10 of EJEBAU in scheduled time.
