The Biotechnology Journal welcomes submissions from all areas of biotechnology and bioengineering research. Papers are selected for publication based on the novelty and level of advance presented in the work, with an emphasis on those that are driving the scientific frontier or that present novel applications that lead to significant new discoveries.

The journal primarily publishes Research Articles and Reviews. These submissions are strictly peer-reviewed and editorial decisions are made by in-house editors in partnership with an Editorial Board of active researchers.

The journal also aims to cover the public, legal, ethical, and cultural aspects of biotechnological research under our Perspective, Forum and Editorial formats. Authors interested in submitting a piece under one of these formats are invited to send a presubmission enquiry. Submissions received under these formats are selected for publication based on their timeliness, the uniqueness of the presented perspective and the fit for the current editorial needs of the journal. They may be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the journal editors.
