Citation Manager style files: Authors are highly
encouraged to use the citation manager programs for citing and
formatting the references. Authors may use free Mendelay, Zotero, Paper 2
or Endnote program. If you are using any of these citation manager
program for Bibliography (References and Notes), then you can download
citation style file for journal (common for ISP journals):
Mendelay, Zotero, Paper 2 style file: ISP Journals CSL style file
(Check this video to learn to use Mendeley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgjpGHz7oUA )
Endnote style file: ISP Journals Endnote style file Or ChemBiolLett style file (click and download from google drive … and copy the file to Endnote style folder or open in EndNote).
click to download and then open in respective program (the user can
see the respective program user guide on how to use the style file).

Authors are advised to contact Support, Biomed Frontiers (email: pubs @ thesciencein.org ) if there is any problem in registration or submission.
Declaration of Conflict of Interest
Authors should mention any conflict of interest in the work submitted to Biomedical Frontiers. The statement about conflict of interest may be mentioned in the ‘Letter to editor’ or placed in the manuscript after acknowledgement section.
Ethical Uses Declaration:
If the manuscript report the experimentation on animals (including
clinical trials on human beings), then declaration about ethical way
handling of animals and about keeping the complete privacy of human
