About the Journal
The Journal of Biology is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic publication dedicated to advancing research across all major fields of biological sciences. Published by UsawaPress, the journal provides a platform for cutting-edge discoveries in molecular biology, genetics, ecology, evolutionary studies, and biotechnology, bridging theoretical insights with practical applications to inform global scientific progress.
Aims & Scope
Mission Statement
The Journal of Biology aims to advance global biological understanding by publishing innovative, high-impact research across all life sciences. Dedicated to scientific integrity, rigorous peer review, and open scholarship, the journal serves as a vital bridge between foundational research and real-world applications in biology, medicine, and environmental sustainability.
Scope of the Journal
We welcome original research articles, reviews, short communications, and perspective pieces spanning diverse biological disciplines, including but not limited to:
Cellular & Molecular Biology: Genetics, genomics, molecular pathways, and cellular dynamics.
Ecology & Evolutionary Biology: Biodiversity, conservation, population dynamics, and evolutionary mechanisms.
Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology: Genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and industrial application of biological systems.
Physiology & Development: Organismal function, developmental pathways, and physiological adaptations.
Computational & Systems Biology: Bioinformatics, biological modeling, and multi-omics integrations.
Publication Frequency
The Journal of Biology operates on a Continuous Publication model. Rather than waiting to assemble traditional periodic issues, accepted articles are finalized, proofed, and published online immediately upon completion of the peer review and editorial process. Articles are rapidly indexed and assigned to a cumulative yearly volume with unique digital object identifiers (DOIs) and article numbers. This model eliminates publishing delays, ensuring that vital biological discoveries are made accessible to the global research community as quickly as possible.
