Language

The journal is bilingual and Persian or English manuscripts are acceptable. It is mandatory for all manuscripts to start with an English title page which contains title, names and affiliations of the authors, abstract, and keywords. No Persian Title page is required.

Articles

NanoMicrobiology and NanoBiotechnology is an international peer review journal that publish both conventional and unconventional articles regard to nanomicrobiology or nanobiotechnology.

Conventional articles can be original paper, review, mini review, short communication, translated paper, case report, letter to the editor, editorial, and novel or modified protocol. The body of all conventional articles should be started with an introduction and then followed with the other sections.
