Aims & Scope

Aims

Biomass (ISSN: 2673-8783) is an international open access journal covering biomass treatment, valorization, conversion, and biorefinery, and publishes review articles (reviews), original research papers (articles), and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there are no restrictions on the maximum length of papers; however, we expect reviews to provide new insights into the field rather than simply listing available information from the literature. These could be new interpretations of existing data or the identification of areas of particular interest for further study. Full experimental details must be provided so that results can be reproduced; likewise, for studies involving modeling or simulation, full details and equation sets must be provided.

Scope

Biomass covers all aspects of bioenergy, biorefining for materials and/or energy, and the circular use of biogenic carbon in the form of biomass, focusing on chemical, biochemical, and engineering routes of biomass conversion and harnessing. The journal addresses biomass, biowaste, residues, and byproduct conversion into added-value materials and energy in the framework of contributing towards a sustainable, resource-efficient, and eco-friendly economy. The journal also covers aspects pertaining to the characterization of biomasses, but with a specific relationship to a conversion pathway or biorefining approach. The journal does not accept studies on processes developed solely for waste treatment for destruction and/or elimination.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to the following:

• Biomass conversion.
• Biomass valorization.
• Biodigestion.
• Circular economy.
• Bioenergy policy.
• Bioenergy.
• Biorefining and value-added products.

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI takes the responsibility to enforce a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies and standards to ensure to add high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
