Aims & Scope

Aims

BioTech (ISSN 2673-6284) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed scientific journal which provides an advanced forum for investigations and discussions related to the study and application of biotechnology.

The journal publishes experimental and theoretical results in the various fields of biotechnology, including biopharmaceutical; development of genetically modified plants, animals, or aquatic organisms for addressing production or quality aspects of food in agriculture in addition to novel approaches in medicine; applications in the environmental sector aimed at maintaining biodiversity and removing pollutants; development of organisms or enzymes to produce useful chemicals or destroy hazardous/polluting chemicals; bioinformatics methods; and papers related to ethical, philosophical, and regulatory aspects in the biotechnology sector.

The full experimental or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. BioTech publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications, and there is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The journal may also consider to promote forums of open discussion in well-defined areas of interests for biotechnology.
