About Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedical Science
Accelerating molecular discovery through rigorous peer review and open access dissemination - connecting genomics researchers, protein scientists, systems biologists, and translational investigators worldwide.
Advancing Molecular Understanding from Genes to Networks
The Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedical Science (JBBS) (ISSN 2576-6694) publishes high-impact research that elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. As a peer-reviewed, open-access journal, JBBS serves as a trusted platform for investigators exploring gene regulation, protein dynamics, cellular signaling, metabolic pathways, and systems-level biology.
Our editorial mission prioritizes methodological rigor, reproducibility, and mechanistic insight. We welcome original research, comprehensive reviews, and methodological innovations that advance fundamental understanding of molecular and cellular processes - from individual biomolecules to integrated biological networks.

JBBS publishes research that deepens mechanistic understanding of biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels. Our scope emphasizes fundamental discovery rather than clinical endpoints, positioning the journal as a forum for basic science that illuminates how molecules, genes, and pathways orchestrate life processes.
Editorial Philosophy: JBBS prioritizes submissions that provide molecular-level insights, employ rigorous experimental design, and contribute to foundational knowledge in biotechnology and biomedical research. We seek studies that advance understanding of biological mechanisms, validate new methodologies, or integrate multi-omic datasets to reveal systems-level principles.
Genomics & Gene Expression
Genome architecture, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modifications, chromatin remodeling, RNA processing, and functional genomics approaches
Proteomics & Protein Biology
Protein structure-function relationships, post-translational modifications, protein-protein interactions, proteome dynamics, and structural biology
Metabolomics & Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic flux analysis, metabolite profiling, pathway regulation, enzyme kinetics, and integration of metabolic networks
Cell Signaling & Communication
Signal transduction cascades, receptor biology, second messengers, kinase networks, and cell-cell communication mechanisms
Molecular Genetics & Gene Editing
CRISPR systems, genome engineering tools, genetic screens, mutagenesis strategies, and functional validation approaches
Systems & Synthetic Biology
Network modeling, pathway engineering, synthetic circuits, computational biology, and multi-scale system integration
Cellular Processes & Organelles
Cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, autophagy, organelle function, membrane dynamics, and intracellular trafficking
Molecular Biotechnology Methods
Novel assay development, high-throughput screening, molecular imaging, biosensor technology, and analytical methodology
Bioinformatics & Computational Analysis
Algorithm development, structure prediction, sequence analysis, database mining, machine learning applications in molecular biology
Scope Boundaries: JBBS focuses on molecular mechanisms and cellular processes. While we welcome translational context that frames the importance of discoveries, manuscripts centered primarily on clinical outcomes, patient populations, disease management, or therapeutic efficacy should be directed to clinical journals. Our editorial priority is fundamental understanding of how biological systems function at the molecular level.
Every manuscript undergoes rigorous evaluation by subject matter experts who assess scientific validity, methodological soundness, and contribution to molecular understanding. JBBS employs single-blind peer review as standard, with double-blind review available upon author request.
- Methodological Rigor: Comprehensive evaluation of experimental design, controls, sample sizes, statistical approaches, and reproducibility measures
- Mechanistic Clarity: Assessment of molecular interpretations, pathway logic, and mechanistic conclusions supported by data
- Data Quality: Verification of figure quality, data accessibility, raw data availability, and supplementary material completeness
- Ethical Compliance: Confirmation of institutional approvals for human/animal research, adherence to COPE guidelines, and conflict disclosure
- Constructive Feedback: Detailed reviewer comments designed to strengthen manuscript quality regardless of publication decision
Research Ethics: Manuscripts involving human participants require ethics board approval and informed consent documentation. Animal studies must follow institutional guidelines and report compliance with standards such as ARRIVE. Gene editing research must address biosafety considerations. Authors must disclose funding sources, competing interests, and data availability per our
editorial policies.
JBBS provides an efficient, author-friendly submission process designed for busy research teams. Authors can submit manuscripts through our online portal or via email to [email protected].
- Review Instructions for Authors for formatting requirements, ethical guidelines, and scope alignment
- Prepare manuscript following journal specifications (structured abstract, main text, figures, tables, supplementary files)
- Submit online with complete metadata (authors, affiliations, keywords, conflicts of interest)
- Receive editorial screening within 5-7 business days for scope fit and technical completeness
- Manuscripts passing initial screening enter peer review (typically 2-3 expert reviewers)
- Receive editorial decision with reviewer reports and revision guidance (if applicable)
- Submit revised manuscript with point-by-point response to reviewer comments
- Upon acceptance, collaborate with production team on final proofs before publication
Timeline Expectations: JBBS strives for efficient review cycles while maintaining quality standards. Authors typically receive first decisions within 4-6 weeks of submission. Revised manuscripts are re-evaluated within 2-3 weeks. Accepted articles are published online within days of final approval, ensuring rapid dissemination of molecular discoveries.
As an open-access journal, JBBS removes subscription barriers to maximize research reach and accelerate scientific progress. All published articles are freely accessible worldwide, supporting knowledge translation to diverse audiences including molecular biologists, biotechnology researchers, graduate students, and interdisciplinary collaborators.
