Instruction for Authors

Submission of an article for publication in The Institute of Biopaleogeography named under Charles R. Darwin implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language. Each author submitting a manuscript for publication is requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations, within two years of beginning the submitted work, that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, his/their work.
The Institute of Biopaleogeography named under Charles R. Darwin prepares and publishes on the Institute’s website the materials in the form of a article (frequency: irregular), as a form of report on travel and discovery expeditions on land and sea.
The thematic scope of these reports cover a wide range of natural sciences such as: geography, tourism, geology, palaeontology, chemistry and physics of seas and oceans, beauty of landscapes, richness of biodiversity (botany and zoology), environmental protection, ecology, human life and development.
Materials from such expeditions are accepted in MS WORD format, described and presented in English. The conclusions that should present interesting information and insights from the expeditions are very important.
The report must include: the title of manuscript, first name(s) in full and surname(s) of author/authors, abstract (a few sentences which should characterise the main purpose and place of the trip), introduction (description and characteristics of the trip, date), conclusions, list of literature, attachments.
The introduction must contain numbered photographs with a description as a form of travel documentation.
The attachments at the end of the report must contain the added photographs with numbering.
The materials will be published in full on the Institute’s website in PDF format:

Presence of ethics statements
Authorship: the main author of the article is required to write a statement confirming that the article is original and has not been published anywhere else before. At the same time, the authors agree that the article, after positive reviews, becomes the property of the journal (publisher) and is officially published on the journal’s website. This information is sent by the author together with the article to an e-mail address: ibpg-darwin@wp.pl
Plagiarism: the authors of the article must certify that the article is not copied or rewritten. In addition, the publisher checks the article for plagiarism before publication.
Conflict of Interest in Peer-Reviewed Journal: authors of an article must state that they do not declare any conflict of interest for the article they have submitted.
