Editorial

Dear colleagues, being the part of the editorial team of this reputed journal, I feel very privileged and delighted to get an opportunity to write an editorial opinion article for the journal. I would like to thank all the contributors i.e. authors, reviewer's, editors etc. of the journal on behalf of editorial team of the Crimson Publishers, Open Access Journal of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics. In my academic journey, I have experienced that more than once students are found to confront a perplexing situation: why to write or publish an academic research paper. Further, even if due to some compelling factors (like obligation to faculty in-charge, supervisor etc.) if forced to write thesis/reports, they again come across a challenging situation, why at all to publish the research paper? A fear of rejection is always there in their minds, "If I ever submitted a paper it will be rejected". Believe in yourself, you can do it too, go out submit a paper, take the reviews positively, modify and resubmit and you’ve done it.

In my opinion publishing one's research is as important as writing a report or thesis for attaining a degree or certificate. It gives a personal pleasure to see your work get published with your name and share your work with others. Publishing helps the researcher's work to get recognized among the peers. It is very important to get your name out in the field of your specialization and build your academic reputation. Publishing the research work also helps the researcher to exchange the information about his/her work among the likeminded researchers and get new ideas on how to keep sailing the boat further or to even discuss some of the problems he/she may be facing and get some probable solutions, feedbacks or reviews to try for. Publishing one work helps to establish the quality of work at international platform. It contributes a significant achievement to be highlighted on your CV. Many a times the published work may be lost due to some accidental unexpected failures of the conventional storage system, however the published work will be available permanently through various digital storage and archival systems. Published work will get indexed, and will get cited increasing the overall ranking of the researcher. It is one of the way by which a research scholar can demonstrate his academic abilities. Successful research publications result in increased visibility of scholar’s work among fellow researchers, sponsoring institutions, peers and may be prospective employers. This may help the researcher to get his work funded, sponsored and even patented. Infrequent and nonpublishing of academic research may result in seriously hampering the academic and tenure track growth of the researcher.

Unpublished work goes unnoticed and does not get any recognition, many a times another researcher working on the same problem on any other part of the globe may take all the credit of the similar research problem by publishing his/her work only because you were lethargic in doing so. Publishing a research paper is a very important step for strong career growth, like all good skills it also takes time to build up, it gets easier with practice and with time it comes as natural flair. So, don't wait any longer. Start writing and submitting your academic research now.

The "Journal of Biosensors & Bioelectronics" is a very good platform for disseminating research work, ideas and innovations at internationally recognized platform. It is an international open access journal that seeks original research papers, review articles, mini-reviews, short communication, opinions, letters to editors etc. It invites papers related to new bio statistical models and methods, new statistical theory, as well as original applications of statistical methods, for important practical problems arising from the biological, medical, public health, and agricultural sciences. It also focuses on highest quality scientific papers and review articles of interest to academic and industrial researchers. The journal covers the entire range of biostatistics, from theoretical advances to relevant and sensible translations of a practical problem into a statistical framework, including advances in bio statistical computing. Its main focus is on covering recent developments in areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. OABB also allows for data and software code to be appended, and opens the door for reproducible research allowing readers to easily replicate analysis described in papers. Please contribute articles to this journal in a timely manner, to ensure it gets published timely and becomes part of this important forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge which will ultimately translate to better technological exchange of information among peers.
