my question is awkwardly simple:
how do i plot a bipartite graph in Gephi with a layout like the one you see in the attached image?
I really am not able to find an appropriate layout in Gephi's options
thanks

In a bipartite network, the nodes are divided into 2 disjoint sets (U, V), and the edges (E) connect nodes that belong to different sets. From a bipartite network, it is possible to derive 2 projected networks, where each one is composed of only 1 set of nodes.
It will guide you to the basic and advanced layout settings in Gephi. You will learn how to use various layouts in Gephi according to the feature you want to emphasis in the topology and the size of the network, how to avoid node overlapping and how to do some geometric transformations.
Source refers to a node that you've identified and labeled in your nodes. csv file. Target also refers to a node you've listed in your nodes. csv file. Type refers to how the two nodes are connected.
Click on import spreadsheet, and select the Edges. Again, Gephi will open up a wizard, showing a preview of the data and indicating that it is says it is importing it as an Edges table. Click on Next. Keep the defaults and click on Finish. Finally, we will see the window pop-up again to tell us if there are any issues.
Gephi version 0.9.1 has an Event Graph Layout plugin that will do this: Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins. Under Data Laboratory, you'll need to add an integer-level variable to your Nodes data table ("Mode" for example), set all of your B nodes to 1, and all of your R nodes to 2. Select that variable in the Order setting of the layout options. You'll likely have to bump Scale of Order up to get decent separation between your modes.
