Journal Guide

Biotechnology for Biofuels is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal featuring high-quality studies describing technological and operational advances in the production of biofuels from biomass. 

Biotechnology for Food Future aims to be at the forefront of food biotechnology, focusing on the future of food. It seeks to publish cutting-edge research and innovative solutions that address the global challenges of food production, safety, and sustainability. The journal will serve as a platform for scientists, researchers, and industry professionals. 

The journal covers a broad range of topics related to the future of food, including but not limited to: 

• Advanced Genetic Engineering: Innovations in genetic modification to enhance crop yields, nutritional value, and resistance to environmental stresses, including boosting soil health. 

• Next-Generation Functional Foods: Development of foods with additional health benefits, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and nutraceuticals. This includes research on food microbiomes for health. 

• 3D Food Printing and other technological disruptions: New biotechnologies for customized food products with specific nutritional profiles, with impact on personalized nutrition and food design. 

• Sustainable Food Production: Techniques and technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of food production, including alternative protein sources like lab-grown meat and plant-based proteins. 

• Food Safety and Quality: Modern molecular, metabolic, and biochemical approaches to ensure the safety and quality of food products, including detection and prevention of foodborne pathogens. 

• Biotechnological Food Processing: Use of enzymatic and microbial processes to improve food processing and explore new methods of preservation. 

• Food Waste Management: Innovative methods to convert food waste into valuable bioproducts, contributing to a circular economy and enhance food waste remediation. 

• Bio-based Smart Packaging: Use of bio-based sustainable materials for developments in enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and reducing waste.   

• Policy, public engagement, and society: Studies about effective food biotechnology policy bridging scientific innovation and societal values, ensuring transparency and trust, and insights on public understanding and approaches fostering informed choices and acceptance of food innovations in a rapidly evolving world. 

The journal also welcomes interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between food biotechnology and other fields such as nutrition, agriculture, and environmental science. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, the journal aims to drive the development of sustainable and innovative food solutions for the future. 

Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of food science, biotechnology, agriculture, and nutrition will find the journal to be an invaluable resource for staying updated on the latest trends and breakthroughs in food biotechnology. 

Biotechnology for Food Future will be a new addition to the Biotechnology family of journals. 

"Biotechnology, Agronomy, Society and Environment" publishes original papers, research notes, review articles, summaries of books and theses as well as reviews of workshops and conferences in the fields of crop and animal productions and sciences, forest sciences, soil and earth sciences, rural engineering, environment, bioindustries, food technologies, economy and sociology.

Original research papers, critical review articles and case studies will be solicited from scientists, engineers and clinicians working in the field. The topic of research should include a biological surface as part of the interface (e.g. articular cartilage, skin or dental enamel) or have a direct impact on biological function (e.g. prosthetic joints, dental implants). The scope of the journal will include all aspects of the tribology of bio-interfaces. Subject areas include:

• Natural joints: Synovial joints, articular cartilage, meniscus, mechanically and biochemically induced damage
• Artificial articular joints: Partial and total joint replacement, spinal discs, explant analysis, implant corrosion and wear, artificial cartilage, bio-scaffolds
• Prosthesis tribology: Prosthetic human interfacing and coupling, tribological function
• Biological implants: Catheters, heart pumps, stents, bio-probes, intravenous, needles
• Biomimetics: Bio-inspired tribology, insect tribology,
• Ocular tribology: Ocular surfaces, contact lenses, tear lubrication and Dry Eye Syndrome
• Skin tribology: Damage mechanisms, blistering mechanisms, bedsores, sweat lubrication
• Haptics: Tactile perception and surface texture, ergonomics
• Personal care: Hair conditioners, skin creams, cosmetics, shaving products, exfoliants, toothpaste
• Oral processing: Foodstuffs and beverages, mouth feel and taste perception, food texture and rheology
• Dental tribology: Tooth and implant wear, implant anchoring, tribo-corrosion of dental surfaces, fracture mechanism of teeth
• Biotribology for industry: Identifying new opportunities, developing test methods, correlation with customer experience, consumer products and packaging
• Sports Tribology: Equipment design and development, preparation, deterioration and testing of sport surfaces, grip, player interaction and gait analysis

BIOTROPIA, the Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology is a scientific publication of SEAMEO BIOTROP. It publishes articles in the broad areas of tropical ecosystems and environmental impacts, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, environmental and forest biotechnology, covering all aspects of the discipline of biology. Articles published in the journal are papers reporting results of original researches, reviews on spesific topics not available elsewhere in up-to-date form, and short communication in which advances in knowledge of significance are briefly announced.

Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal's Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.

Bipolar Disorders is an international journal that publishes all research of relevance for the basic mechanisms, clinical aspects, or treatment of bipolar disorders. It intends to provide a single international outlet for new research in this area and covers research in the following areas:.
