Note on publication changes
The Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry has now partnered with Taylor and Francis (UK), and the publication and sale of this journal will be handled by the Publisher with effect January 2014.
Manuscripts that have already been accepted will be sent to Taylor & Francis for processing via the JSBBA society secretariat.
The publication style of Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry (BBB) will be changed with effect January 2014. Please note that as part of these changes, article titles should be included in references.
BBB publishes three types of articles: Reviews, Regular papers and Notes. Most articles should be submitted as Regular papers. Notes are concise but complete papers that present novel information, a new experimental method, or something similar, which might not be suitable for publication as a Regular paper. The authors should give their reason for submitting their study as a Note in their covering letter. Articles that do not meet the criteria for a Note may be returned to authors without first going out to peer review. A Review should be on a topic of any subject that is within the scope of the journal. The publication of Reviews is by invitation only; potential authors of reviews are contacted by one of the Editors. The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by an Editor and reviewers.
