Vita Scientia (V Sci.) is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing research in the fields of biology, agriculture, and medicine. Published monthly, Vita Scientia provides a platform for the dissemination of interdisciplinary work that appeals to a wide range of specialists, including biologists, medical professionals, and researchers in related fields.
This journal publishes original research articles, comprehensive review articles, scientific commentaries/opinions and data across all areas of biological and medical sciences, selecting content based on its scientific quality and conceptual novelty. Vita Scientia welcomes contributions spanning a broad range of topics, including molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology, plant biology and agriculture, genomics, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, clinical medicine, public health, and environmental biology. Submissions unrelated to biological or medical sciences will not be considered for review. Review articles and scientific commentaries are generally considered by invitation or with editorial approval, and proceedings from scientific conferences may be published as special issues or supplements.
Vita Scientia upholds the highest ethical standards and maintains neutrality on potentially contentious topics such as gender, religion, politics, and the environment. The journal’s publication process involves multiple parties—authors, editors, and peer reviewers—each responsible for meeting the expected ethical standards from submission through to publication.
In alignment with the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), European Association of Science Editors (EASE), and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), Vita Scientia is committed to the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.
Vita Scientia publishes articles freely accessible to both subscribers and the general public without charging open access and submission. The journal supports open data, and upon acceptance, articles will be made publicly available on our journal’s website. Additionally, the LOCKSS system preserves this open-access content, ensuring long-term availability.
Dr. Shiv Mani Dubey is a postdoctoral scientist at the Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics (CBGP), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain. His research focuses on synthetic biology and plant developmental biology, particularly on auxin signaling and the rational engineering of plant architecture. He completed his PhD at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, where he explored the auxin signaling pathway involve in rapid auxin responses during gravity perception in Arabidopsis thaliana roots.
Dr. Dubey has received several prestigious fellowships and grants, including: ICAR Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) – awarded by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. STARS Scholarship – from Charles University in recognition of doctoral excellence. Juan de la Cierva Fellowship – a competitive national postdoctoral grant awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, aimed at integrating outstanding early-career researchers into Spanish institutions
He has published his research in leading international journals such as Molecular Plant, eLife, and Cell, reflecting the high impact and rigor of his scientific contributions. He has also presented at numerous national and international conferences across Europe.
Beyond his research, Dr. Dubey has actively mentored bachelor’s and master’s students, providing scientific guidance and training in experimental and analytical techniques. He is part of a vibrant multidisciplinary lab environment that combines synthetic biology, systems biology, and computational approaches—paralleling Vita Scientia’s commitment to cross-disciplinary science.
As Editor-in-Chief of Vita Scientia, Dr. Dubey is committed to advancing high-quality, integrative research in the life sciences and fostering a collaborative, open-access platform for scientific discovery.
Vita Scientia is designed as a next-generation open-access journal that actively bridges research across biology, agriculture, and medicine. Our mission goes beyond publishing science—we prioritize work that addresses complex, real-world challenges, fosters interdisciplinary thinking, and proposes novel approaches grounded in empirical rigor.
Unlike traditional journals with narrow disciplinary silos, Vita Scientia seeks to promote scientific dialogue across domains in life sciences. We particularly value research that integrates fundamental discovery with practical application, especially in emerging or underrepresented areas of life sciences.
Vita Scientia envisions a more connected scientific landscape—one where boundaries between disciplines are porous, where open access is not a privilege but a standard, and where publishing is guided by integrity, clarity, and relevance.
Our editorial philosophy is shaped by three core commitments:
We aim to serve as a trusted venue for both established and emerging researchers who are advancing knowledge with purpose. By removing financial obstacles, prioritizing open data, and maintaining full transparency in our processes, Vita Scientia supports a publishing culture rooted in collaboration, not competition.
Vita Scientia publishes peer-reviewed research that reflects both depth within disciplines and meaningful connections across them. Our scope covers the full spectrum of life sciences, with interest in promoting studies that explore the interface between biology, medicine, agriculture, and environmental systems.
We welcome original research articles, critical reviews, and scientifically grounded perspectives in areas including—but not limited to—molecular biology, plant and agricultural sciences, biotechnology, pharmacology, health and medicine, and genomics, Environmental issues.
Review articles and commentaries are considered by invitation or editorial proposal. The journal also offers space for curated special issues and conference proceedings that align with our editorial focus on impact and innovation.
All submissions undergo rigorous, double-blind peer review by independent experts. Research must comply with recognized ethical guidelines, and authors are expected to demonstrate transparency in methodology, data availability, and funding disclosures.
Aligned with best practices from COPE, ICMJE, WAME, and EASE, we uphold editorial independence and neutrality on political, ideological, or commercial matters. Through sustained editorial stewardship and technological preservation, we are committed to keeping scientific knowledge open, verifiable, and enduring.
