  The journal covers all the fields of Agriculture and Botany, including contributions from other areas, such as taxonomy, genetics, engineering, economic, law or policy.  


  This is an open-access journal distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License CC-BY, which permits unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. The journal allows the author(s) to hold the copyright without restrictions.  


  AAB Bioflux is an international peer-reviewed journal. Each published article was independently seen before by two Scientific Reviewers and at least one lingvist. Peer-review policy in AAB Bioflux: double blind peer-review. The editors use a soft for screening the plagiarism. Acceptance rate: about 50%. Electronic submission is required.&nbsp;  


  Because many authors withdrew their manuscript in final form just before the payment of the publication fee, our policy has changed (20 February 2019). The publication fee was replaced by a processing fee (100 USD), which is paid after a preliminary evaluation (not at the end). Our evaluation has two steps. 1)A preliminary evaluation by the editor (the author gets a preliminary acceptance or rejection); 2)An external double blind peer-review (at this point the author gets a final decision: acceptance or rejection). Please note that if the manuscript will not be published, the author or his/her institution gets the money back (except the cases of poor feedback from authors or withdrawal/rejection due to multiple submissions). We inform the authors about our final decision (acceptance or rejection) in 3-8 weeks after their submission. The average overall time from submission of the manuscript to publication is 10 weeks. Faster processing involves a tax of priority (50 USD).  


  Manuscript processing fee: 100 USD (or equivalent in EURO or RON);  


  Manuscript processing fee with priority: 150 usd (or equivalent in EURO or RON);&nbsp;  


  Publication fee: 0 USD.&nbsp;&nbsp;  


    Waiver policy and payments    


  The journal has a waiver policy for developing country authors (only for cases of very good quality manuscripts). When the manuscript's first author is a member of the Editorial Board Expanded (AAB Bioflux), there is no processing fee. Please attach a scanned payment document and email to ioan.mag@usamvcluj.ro&nbsp;

    Statement of human and animal rights    


  When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (5). If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database).   


    Statement of informed consent    


  Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database).   


    Conflict-of-interest statement    


  Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial decision making. Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from those with negligible potential to those with great potential to influence judgment, and not all relationships represent true conflict of interest. The potential for conflict of interest can exist whether or not an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database). However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition or intellectual passion, and the Chief Editor will do his best to avoid them, using specific policies in the process of peer-review.

    Data sharing policy      


    1. Policy Statement      


  AAB Bioflux is committed to
promoting transparency, reproducibility, and integrity in scientific research.
We support responsible data sharing as an essential component of scholarly
communication and encourage authors to make the data underlying their findings
openly available whenever possible.    


  This policy applies to all
manuscripts submitted to the journal and is consistent with international
standards for editorial best practices and research transparency.    


    2. Author Responsibilities      


  Authors are required to:    


  
 

  Include
     a   Data Availability Statement   in all submitted manuscripts.    
 

  Clearly
     indicate whether the data supporting the findings of the study are:    
 

  
  

  Publicly
      available,    
  

  Available
      upon reasonable request, or    
  

  Restricted
      due to ethical, legal, or confidentiality considerations.    
   
 

  Ensure
     that shared data are accurate, complete, and sufficiently documented to
     allow replication and verification of the reported results.      
  Authors are strongly encouraged
to deposit their data in recognized public repositories appropriate to their
discipline.  


    3. Data Availability Statement

  Sensitive data involving human
participants must be de-identified prior to sharing, unless explicit consent
for identifiable data sharing has been obtained.    


  Where legal or ethical
restrictions prevent public sharing, authors must clearly state these
limitations.  


    6. Editorial and Peer Review
Access      


  Editors and peer reviewers may
request access to underlying data during the review process to evaluate the
scientific validity of the manuscript. Authors must provide such data upon
request, unless prohibited by legal or ethical constraints.    


  Failure to provide requested data
may result in rejection of the manuscript.  


    7. Compliance and Enforcement      


  Failure to comply with this
policy may result in:    


  
 

  Manuscript
     rejection,    
 

  Publication
     delays,    
 

  Retraction
     of published articles if data integrity concerns arise.

  Our journals do not accept or display any form of advertising, sponsored content, or commercial promotions. No third-party advertising networks are used, and there is no advertising revenue associated with our publications.  


    
  


    Statement on the use of Generative AI      


  Our journal permits the use of generative artificial
intelligence (GenAI) tools in the preparation of manuscripts, provided that:    


  
 

    Transparency  
     – Any substantive contribution generated by GenAI, including text,
     figures, or data summaries, must be clearly disclosed in the manuscript.
     Authors should cite the specific tools used and describe the extent of AI
     assistance.     
 

    Author
     Responsibility   – Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy,
     integrity, and originality of all content submitted. The use of GenAI does
     not relieve authors from their ethical, legal, or scientific obligations.     
 

    Limitations  
     – GenAI outputs may contain errors, biases, or unverified information.
     Authors must carefully review and validate all AI-generated content before
     submission. The journal and editors do not assume responsibility for
     inaccuracies originating from GenAI.     
 

    Peer
     Review   – Manuscripts containing AI-generated content will undergo the
     same rigorous peer-review process as all submissions. Reviewers and
     editors may request clarification on AI-generated material to ensure
     scientific validity.     
 

    Compliance  
     – Failure to disclose AI usage may be considered a breach of publication
     ethics and may result in corrections, retractions, or other editorial
     actions.      
    &nbsp;    


    Malpractice disclaimer      


  The publisher and our editors make every effort to ensure
the accuracy of the content published. However, the journal, its editors, and
publisher disclaim any responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions,
or consequences arising from the use of information contained in this
