Aims & Scope

Nepal Journal of Biotechnology (NJB) is an open access, peer-reviewed, indexed and refereed international online journal run by volunteer researchers and has unique ISSN 2091-1130 (Print) and eISSN 2467-9313 (Online) numbers. NJB publishes full-length research articles, review articles and method articles in the fields ofBiotechnology, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Parasitology, Biochemistry, Medical Science, Plant Science, Animal Science, Bioinformaticsand other Omic Sciences viz.Bioprocess, Biochemical Engineering, Fermentation Technology, Organic chemistryrelated to Biotechnology and provides a unique DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for every article published. Established in 2011 A.D. with the initiation of the Biotechnology Society of Nepal (BSN), NJB aims to provide an international forum to encourage interdisciplinary articles contributing to the advancement of Biotechnology, benefiting readers and authors by accelerating the dissemination of research information and providing maximum access to scholarly communication. NJB aims to promote interdisciplinary studies in applied life sciences and Biotechnology to become the leading journal in Nepal and abroad. NJB follows the double-blind peer-review process [i.e. peer reviewers and author(s) don't know identity of each other]. All submitted manuscripts are screened manually by EiC (Editor in Chief) then by the member(s) of the NJB editorial board and only manuscripts following author guidelines that meet journal criteria and scope are sent for formal peer-review, remaining manuscripts (if any) are returned to the corresponding author stating reasons for rejections. Authors are free to submit again with necessary corrections or submit elsewhere for the publication.
