EJSIR Journal of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
Explores biotechnology, bioinformatics, biological data science and translational methods. Contributions may develop tools, datasets or applications, with validation, data provenance and limitations reported clearly enough to assess utility and reproducibility.
Journal focus
Research topics and contribution standards
These subject areas and editorial expectations help authors judge fit and show readers how each contribution is supported.
Research and evidence
A suitable contribution makes its research question and methods clear, then supports its conclusions with evidence appropriate to the work.
Research with a clear disciplinary contribution
Journal of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme focused on biotechnology and bioinformatics. Its sections cover Bioinformatics, Genomics, Proteomics, Systems Biology, Synthetic Biology, Bioprocess Engineering, Computational Drug Discovery, Microbial Biotechnology, Agricultural Biotechnology and Biomedical Data Science. The journal connects biological research and biotechnology with computational, molecular and data-driven methods, while requiring the biological question and methodological contribution to be clearly stated.

View section scope →Forms of scholarly contribution
The journal considers the following types when the manuscript is appropriate to the section and meets the relevant methodological, reporting and ethics requirements.
Presents a distinct scholarly question and original findings, with methods, analysis and evidence reported in enough detail for critical assessment.
Synthesizes relevant scholarship to clarify the state of knowledge, compare interpretations and identify well-supported questions for further study.
Uses a clearly defined question and reproducible search, selection and synthesis methods, with the evidence base and limitations reported transparently.
Reports a focused result, observation or method whose concise presentation is useful to the field and supported by appropriate evidence.
Describes a practical method, instrument, workflow or technical refinement, explaining its operation, context and performance or validation.
Develops a reasoned scholarly interpretation of an important topic, distinguishing evidence from opinion and acknowledging relevant uncertainty.
Introduces a research dataset, software or other scholarly resource, documenting its provenance, structure, access conditions and quality checks.
