A website 'YUGATO' is unlawfully replicating and utilizing content from the Archives of Biological Sciences website.
This fraudulent activity extends to impersonating an established scientific journal with false information regarding the editorial team, publishers associated with the journal, and illicit misuse of our publisher's logo. It illegitimately uses the name of another journal Yūgatō and its ISSN to disguise its deceitful actions.
Creating or promoting a worthless fraudulent scientific journal is unethical and can have serious consequences, including misleading the scientific community, wasting researchers' time and resources, and potentially harming public trust in science.

In 2022 the Serbian School of Molecular Biology celebrated half a century of existence. Molecular Biology and Physiology, as a novel study group, was founded in 1972 at the Department of Biological Sciences of the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Belgrade. The University of Belgrade was the third university in the world to establish molecular biology studies and a department of biochemistry and molecular biology. The founder was the academician Dušan Kanazir, together with Ana Savić (1936-2022), his only assistant at the time, who is remembered and honored in the In Memoriam (Matić and Kojić).

The Archives of Biological Sciences has completed the migration of its old web site to the Open Journal System today, and the URL of the journal has been changed. All visitors using the journal’s old URL will be redirected to the new one. The migration was performed during the June 25-26 weekend. We apologize to all readers, authors and peer-reviewers for the inconvenience and if they experienced any problems while reading the published papers or working in the system.
Read More Read more about Migration to the Open Journal SystemFrom January 13, 2016, the Archives of Biological Sciences will start using the Open Journal System for manuscript submission and tracking.
Read More Read more about Open Journal SystemIn the summer of 2014, the Archives of Biological Sciences was singled out as a scientific journal that had veered away from the ethical publishing practice of scientific journals and was placed on the list of predatory journals. Members of the scientific public in Serbia directly affected by the accusations were mobilised, and after thorough investigation it was concluded that many of these accusations were founded. As a result, the Serbian Biological Society and other co-publishers of the journal replaced the entire editorial team. The new Editorial Board was confronted with the difficult task of resolving many outstanding issues which primarily affected contributors and scientific research in life sciences, as well as official bodies that support scientific publishing in Serbia.

The Archives of Biological Sciences will apply the Vancouver Citation Style. This means that all papers submitted after June 1, 2015 should conform with the new Instructions for Authors and the Vancouver Citation Style.
