Instructions to Authors

The Virosa Journal of Quantum Studies and Biomedicine (VJQSB) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal committed to publishing high-quality, interdisciplinary research that advances quantum science and its applications in biomedicine, healthcare, life sciences, engineering, computational sciences, and related disciplines. The journal welcomes submissions from researchers, academicians, clinicians, physicists, engineers, chemists, computer scientists, mathematicians, biomedical scientists, and interdisciplinary innovators worldwide.

To facilitate an efficient review and publication process, authors are requested to carefully follow the guidelines below before submitting their manuscripts.

Scope of the Journal

VJQSB publishes original, innovative, and scientifically rigorous research that explores the theoretical, computational, experimental, and translational aspects of quantum studies and their applications in biomedical sciences and healthcare.

The journal welcomes submissions across the full spectrum of quantum research, including quantum physics, quantum computing, quantum information science, quantum engineering, quantum chemistry, quantum materials, quantum sensing, quantum communication, quantum algorithms, quantum artificial intelligence, quantum simulation, and emerging quantum technologies. Research demonstrating applications of these fields in medicine, healthcare, diagnostics, drug discovery, biomedical engineering, molecular sciences, computational biology, nanotechnology, precision medicine, and related interdisciplinary areas is particularly encouraged.

Interdisciplinary research integrating quantum science with physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering, computer science, mathematics, materials science, and artificial intelligence is strongly encouraged. All submissions should demonstrate scientific originality, methodological rigor, technical excellence, and significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge.

For detailed information regarding the journal's research priorities, authors are encouraged to review the Aim and Scope section.

Manuscript Categories

VJQSB accepts several categories of scholarly submissions. Authors may submit original research articles presenting new empirical findings, review articles offering comprehensive evaluations of ongoing developments, case studies describing real-world scientific applications, short communications reporting preliminary but impactful insights, and technical notes detailing methodological or experimental innovations. Editorials and perspective pieces may be submitted by invitation or with prior approval from the editorial office.

General Submission Requirements

All manuscripts must be written in English and prepared in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by any other journal. Authors must ensure that their work is free from plagiarism; all manuscripts undergo similarity screening before peer review. Authorship should accurately reflect contributions, and ghost or honorary authorship is strictly prohibited. The journal encourages authors whose first language is not English to seek professional editing support to ensure clarity and readability.

Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

Title Page

The title page should contain the full title of the manuscript, written clearly and concisely. Include the full names of all authors, their institutional affiliations, complete addresses, and ORCID identifiers where applicable. The corresponding author’s full contact details including email, telephone number, and mailing address must be provided to ensure smooth communication throughout the review process.

Abstract and Keywords

Each manuscript must include a structured abstract of 150–250 words, summarizing the study’s background, methods, results, and conclusions. Following the abstract, provide four to six keywords in lowercase, separated by semicolons. These keywords should accurately reflect the manuscript’s scientific content and support discoverability.

Main Text

The main text should follow a logical scientific structure, including an introduction that outlines the research problem and objectives, a materials and methods section detailing all experimental or computational procedures, a results section presenting findings clearly with appropriate figures or tables, and a discussion section interpreting the outcomes in context with existing literature. A concluding paragraph should summarize the study’s contributions and significance.

Figures and Tables

Figures must be submitted in high-resolution formats (JPG, PNG, or TIFF) with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Tables should be provided in an editable format rather than as images. All figures and tables must be numbered consecutively and accompanied by clear, descriptive captions.

References

References should follow APA 7th edition or Vancouver style and must be used consistently throughout the manuscript. Include DOIs or URLs where available. Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all cited sources.

Ethical and Research Integrity Standards

Manuscripts involving human or animal subjects must include explicit statements confirming approval by a recognized ethics committee or institutional review board. Informed consent is required for all studies involving human participants. Authors must disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest. Misconduct such as plagiarism, data fabrication, image manipulation, or duplicate submission will result in immediate rejection and may lead to institutional notification.

Submission and Processing

Manuscripts may be submitted via the online submission portal available on the journal website or directly through email at [email protected]

Each submitted article undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer review process, with evaluation by at least two qualified reviewers. Authors will receive reviewer feedback for revisions where applicable. The final decision on publication rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

To support global knowledge dissemination and maintain high editorial standards, VJQBB does charge any Article Processing Charges (APCs) of 500 USD after publishing the article and there are no submission charges or anyother and the articles are entirely open access.

Copyright and Licensing

VJQBB operates under an open access publishing model. Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license, allowing unrestricted use, sharing, adaptation, and distribution, provided appropriate credit is given to the authors and the journal. Authors retain full copyright while granting VJQBB the right of first publication.

Reviewer Suggestions

Authors are welcome to suggest up to three potential reviewers with relevant expertise. Suggested reviewers must not have recent collaborations or conflicts of interest with any authors. The editorial team may consider but is not obligated to use these recommendations.

Pre-Submission Checklist

Before submission, authors should ensure that the manuscript is properly formatted, the title page is complete, the abstract and keywords are accurate, figures and tables are correctly labeled, references follow a consistent style, ethical approvals are included, and all disclosures are clearly stated. Ensuring completeness at submission helps accelerate the review process.
