Aim & Scope
Archives of Biochemical Engineering (ABE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Somato Publications. It publishes research on the engineering of biological and biochemical processes.
We welcome studies that move bioprocesses from the laboratory toward practical, scalable use.
Scope
ABE publishes original research articles, review articles, case reports and short communications in areas including, but not limited to:
- Bioprocess design and optimisation
- Fermentation and cell culture technology
- Enzyme engineering and biocatalysis
- Downstream processing and purification
- Metabolic engineering
- Bioreactor design and scale-up
- Biofuels and bio-based chemicals
- Process modelling and control
Peer Review
Every submission goes through double-blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the subject. The usual time from submission to first editorial decision is 12–14 weeks. See the Peer Review Policy for details.
Originality
