Published eLetters

By focusing on the timely publication of good-quality sound research without a requirement for perceived impact, BiO is designed to facilitate dialogue and build a valuable body of work that supports the efforts of the research community. The impact of each paper will be decided by the community itself through usage and discussion.

Readers are invited to submit an eLetter to make comments on an article; the eLetter is published online and is sent to the authors for any response.

Guidelines

Responsibility for (1) the accuracy of statements of fact, (2) the authenticity of scientific findings or observations, (3) expressions of scientific or other opinion and (4) any other material published in the journal rests solely with the author(s) of the article in which such statements, etc., appear. The Journal, its owners, publishers, editors, reviewers and staff take no responsibility for these matters.

Submission of an eLetter also indicates that the author agrees to abide by the Journal's policies. Authors must declare any competing interests upon submission.
