Research ReviewsBiotechnology Advances is a review journal which considers all aspects of the multidisciplinary field. The scope includes biotechnology principles and applications in industry, agriculture, medicine, environmental concerns and regulatory issues. Authoritative articles on current developments and future trends in biotechnology are emphasized. Submissions of appropriate manuscripts are invited. A wide audience of scientists, engineers and others is addressed: students, instructors, researchers, practitioners, managers, governments and related stakeholders. Special issues are published on selections of presentations at recent relevant conferences as arranged with the organizations.Benefi... to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal of Biotechnology (J. Biotech.) offers publication for both full-length articles and short communications on a wide range of biotechnology-relate... topics. Also, review articles can be submitted if they are pre-approved by one of the editors. The journal will only accept submissions with novel scientific research results that are directly relevant to biotechnological systems and/or applications (for details, please see the list below). J. Biotech. has strict rules about plagiarism. Any submission that includes parts of already published material will be rejected. This includes any attempt to re-publish already published Materials and Methods paragraphs. The journal features a "one-pass review process," i.e., eligible submissions will be reviewed, and those that need improvements (either minor or major) can be resubmitted only once before the decision about whether to accept or reject is decided by the Chief Editor. All figures need to be submitted as high-resolution files during the initial submission. All articles must be written in English, and the quality of the English language will be one of the criteria during the review process.Main Scope of the Journal:Bioprocess engineeringSystem biology, synthetic microbiologyMetaboli... engineering, microbial physiologyBiorefiner... biomass engineeringBiochemic... enzyme/protein engineeringMetabolic engineeringMicrobial expression systemsBiocatalyst engineeringInsect cell-based modelsMultienzyme cascade reactionsPlant-based biotechnologyOutside of the Scope:Manuscripts lacking noveltyReview articles submitted without previous invitation/confirmat... by an editorEnvironmental-... subjects, e.g., waste-water treatment, bioremediation, biodegradationReport... on the cloning and/or expression of naturally occurring enzymes without direct biotechnological applicationResearch on natural products without biotechnological modificationToxicolo... researchPharmacologi... researchFood science-related research without biotechnological applicationEngineeri... articles that do not deal with the direct improvement of biotechnological processesGenome research, especially genome sequencing reportsBenefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes Research, Review and Short Communication articles on novel, state-of-the-art, and significantly improved methodologies in microbiology. Innovative, validated applications of existing methods that advance the field are also welcome. JMM considers research on all types of microorganisms including protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Data must clearly support method interpretation and utility.The scope includes, but is not limited to:· Environmental, Agricultural & Ecological Microbiology: Applied and environmental microbiology, microbial ecology and diversity, soil/sediment/geomic... microbiomes, rumen microbiology, and methods for extreme environments including space missions.· Genetics, Molecular & Cellular Microbiology: Microbial genetics, genomics, molecular microbiology, physiology, ultrastructure, imaging, high-throughput sequencing, omics technologies (metabolomics, metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics), bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling.· Clinical, Medical, Veterinary & Public Health Microbiology: Diagnostics, clinical and veterinary microbiology, public health, sero-diagnostics, immunology, typing, and microbial identification.· Microbial Interactions & Pathogenesis: Host-pathogen interactions, microbiome interactions, plant-microbe relationships, parasitology, and mycology.· Virology: Innovative approaches for virus detection, isolation, quantification, and characterization, including molecular techniques, cell culture assays, viral genomics, imaging technologies, and high-throughput screening methods.· Technological Advances & Method Development: Bioassays, biosensors biochemical methods, sampling techniques, robotics, and radioisotope applications in microbiology.· Food Microbiology: Studies on the role of microorganisms in food production, preservation, spoilage, and foodborne illnesses. · Industrial Microbiology: Explores the industrial applications of microorganisms, such as in the production of pharmaceuticals, enzymes, and biofuels. We invite proposals for review articles and special issues on emerging microbiological methods driving scientific progress.
